A few months back, I took those big first steps into my consulting venture. Snagged my first client, and let me tell you, seeing that money grow in my business account felt amazing.
What I loved:
Now, my gig is service-based right now, which means I'm trading my time for money. And man, finding that "big idea" felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. But then, while wrestling with this annoying app that's super popular in my industry, it hit me: Why not make a better version?
So far, I've made a neat 3k from my business. Might not be big bucks to some, but I've kept it all in the business, not pocketing a dime. I tried my hand at creating this app over the past couple of months. Started out patching it together using ChatGPT with my limited coding skills – it was rough around the edges but did the job. Later, got a developer on board to spruce it up, add some flair. it's now getting a complete makeover for better user experience and future updates.
I'm sharing this to keep y'all posted. Haven't vanished, just deep in the grind and loving every bit of it. I still get a kick out of consulting, setting my hours, and that sweet sense of freedom. But, there's something about designing and refining a product that's just so darn satisfying. Launch might be a bit down the road, but I see some potential dollar signs. If not, I've learned so much from just opening a LLC, invoicing your first customer, communicating with vendors which is priceless experience. So if this venture does not work out my next idea will be way easier to pursue.
Feels like things are starting to click. That hunger and fire you get is something else.
What I loved:
- Being in the driver's seat of the projects.
- Watching my hard-earned cash stack up.
