Hey,
I was skeptical posting here because I know people here are fed up with stories like mine. At this point, you can talk down to me all you want. Since HS all the startups I started have either failed or did not show any result. I think it was in 2018 that I tried t-shirt design business promoting global warming (was shit and did not get any sale). Then I started a home based bakery and posted my offerings on facebook and got 4 customers, then second wave of COVID hit. Then I decided to make a fun website to then use as advertising space but then I realized it's not as easy as that so I tried to come up with ideas on how I could make money off of it and nothing. I have had it for 2 months and still don't know what to use it for. Then I started a shopify store to sell digital products after watching a youtuber show us how easy it was bla bla (I fell for it obviously). No sale, nothing even after advertising it. MJ you said it doesn't matter if I follow something that isnt my passion but how am I supposed to compete with other companies in emerging industries when I don't have the skills and don't know what to persue. With this volume of failures, I might as well try at failing life.
Im sorry to myself and everyone reading this rn I mustve ruined your day
