Hello Fastlane Forum,
I need your advice, as it feels like I got caught up in options and action faking. I can't decide what I should do.
I work in an office for architecture since October last year as my main job
Before that, I had a freelance business for architectural visualization (during university) but decided to shut down cause I couldn't handle the requirements of my clients anymore, my work shifted from visualization to creating multimedia and web services for some clients, so that's what I still do irregularly at the moment. At the moment the costs of running this small business is higher than the profits so the bills are eating up my earnings from my main job.
1. My plan before I read MJ's books was to start my own architecture office: The biggest one is, that I need to work there for another 1.5 years before I can get licensed and start my own office. No after some months of consideration, I still think that this would be a viable plan although I'm not sure how to scale it and go Fastlane.
2. My main problem at the moment is that I really struggle with the money I get from my main job, so I thought maybe I could push my multimedia services a bit more in the meantime, but somehow that seems like something not really compatible with my long-term goal.
3. I started a project developing and Selling tools and Accessories for Musicians (There's an execution thread in the INSIDERS section of the forum)
I really enjoy doing it, but I think it will take at least some more months to get profits (if ever). So it's more of a long-term game. In every case, I would like to keep working on this.
Now I figured out for me that I have these options:
A. Work my main job for the next 1.5 years and concentrate on my Audio Tools Project in my free time and hope to get some money from that. Start architecture office in two years.
B. Work my main job and try to build up my web & multimedia freelancing project and start my architecture office in two years.
C. Work my main job, build up my web & multimedia freelance to a full-time business, and ditch architecture altogether.
D. Work my main job and start to offer architecture-related resources (Courses, Lessons, Coaching, and Ebooks for clients). Start architecture office in two years and offer more architecture-related resources.
E. Work main job, build Architectural visualization resources, and sell those.
F. Do something else.
Thankful for every opinion/Input I can get.
