For over 10 years, I have wanted to start something. Really hard, wanted. I have started some websites in the hope to get a big enough niche audience; started youtube channel too.
I am trying to get new ideas done. But after one day of my job, I am exhausted and I cannot extract any brain-juice any more. And if I try to work during the week-ends, I can't rewind enough for the next week. And my progress are damn slow. It seems I would need a year to achieve what a good programmer could do in a week.
Creating a successful business seems to me like the only viable career path to me. I don't see myself as a good employee. So this is not a long-term plan. And I have never learned to do anything else, I am not even a graduate. So the only thing left is to create some things, and be successful enough in at least one to make a living out of it.
What should I do?
2. Being an entrepreneur is a marathon, not a sprint. Won't happen overnight and certainly there is no magic wand or guarantees. You have to be willing to lose it all at some point.
3. How bad is your itch ? You said "I don't see myself as a good employee". Ok that sounds awesome. But how bad do you want this ? Everyone at some point in their life get fed up with jobs/corporate life and think about starting their own thing. But do you really have the will and determination to go through with it ? Stars will never align perfectly. You have to want this bad, real bad.
4. Imagine yourself on your death bed. Would you regret not trying to do your own thing ? If yes, then you gotta do it. If no, then may be you are just a wantrapreneur and nothing wrong with it.
Ok, now some real steps to take. You either start a side project OR you go join a small company where you get to wear many hats and learn how business really works. But you have to sacrifice something TODAY. So what is it that you are willing to sacrifice TODAY ?
