I realized I'm that kind of guy who instead of mastering one skill, tries to learn a bit of everything.
While this might help in business, this is not helping at all finding some hustles to make enough money for me to start a business.
The funny thing is that at 14 years old I used to make money with freelance jobs doing graphic design and passive income selling PSD's of my projects.
And guess what. Now at 20 I can't even earn $5. This is making me angry as hell.
I guess the problem is in my mindset and behavior. I've been learning 5-6 different topics (copywriting, marketing, web design, psychology, ...) in the last years and never tried mastering and scaling my graphic design skills.
Right now I'm studying in University at a Bachelor in Economics & Data Science, and I also started a project for a potential business but I realized I need capital to get started (legal fees and fixed costs).
So yeah, I can't even tell what I'm doing. It seems like I'm trying to learn everything about anything, which I realize is stupid since we don't live for 300 years and it requires 3-5 years just to master one single skill on average.
The famous quote "Focus on your strengths"? I'm not following that philosophy at all, lol. And beware, I'm not doing this consciously.
What's your advice and experience? What should I do? I'm lost as f*ck!
Thanks in advance!
