I have such a busy mind with ideas and opportunities I can’t seem to settle on projects. For example I built an e-commerce project which I have lost the interest in now it is built and live. I’ve also done the same for a couple of software tools. I have generated decent money over the last 12 months building and selling the saas projects but have tried to give a couple a go but my interest goes when it comes to actually running it. I’m very much an ideas person so have no problem in this area…
Not sure if you are concious of it. But you might have depression.
Im going through it now.
I start something then just lose interest.
I wish I had your knowledge.
It actually shows in my life. I start many projevts but cant finish them. Its hard. I realised that I have ADD and its crippling.
But I have to say that I have been comitted to my online business for 2 years now and it shows.
But dissorders are crippling and needs one to focus much more harder than normal folks.
Im glad that you are able to make money. Many stop as soon as the reality of hard work kicks in

i am at a very beginning age, no business or job just go up down with my engineering academics and new side hustle planning i have some serious bipolar sh*t too
what should be my goal from now 22M
I feel you you I’m in a place where I have to make serious headway in 1 direction or just decide not to be an entrepreneur. Committing can be difficult sometimes though, even if you had the energy to take the 1st steps.
Yes, I feel you, I’m in the same boat myself. I have a bunch of semi finished projects that could be amazing. How do you generate money though? I build a few great projects but haven’t really had an idea on how to get them going.
I have started 4 this year, generated some revenue then get bored after a few weeks. I just ended up selling them on and seems to be plenty of people out there looking for this type of thing. I’ve done same with blogs…set them up and lose interest. Sold a few of these on Flippa. I started a large software project on the side which has potential to be quite large within a specific niche so am working on this slowly. I’m slightly more committed to this as have firm clients but will take at least a few months. I quite like the build and sell but just feel it’s no good for my mental health
I’m in the same boat I just don’t end up generating much or any revenue before my add kicks in. I think I’ll try to find customers before I build it next time and see how that goes.
Some of mine are like that and still managed to sell
You may need to hire an integrator or operator.
You build the idea and then hire someone to maintain it. It will give you the time to be creative and expand the business. Instead of do the day to day
I didn’t think about that but I’m a control freak. If I don’t have 100% control I want nothing to do with it
Yes, but I have had a corporate job to support my finances, so it’s kind of no harm no foul. Where your temporary projects generating enough revenue to support yourself?
I have been building for last 2 years but seriously for year. The projects start trading then I sell them so that’s how I’ve generated funds. Yes there is a market but I’ve always had a stable business. Recently started selling blogs on Flippa as that’s something else I’ve done. I’ve been self employed for 25 yrs and always managed to get by…
That’s very inspiring! I’m 26 and about to make the transition to self employment in the next few months and and very excited. Congrats on your success!
I was the same. Eventually found my focus. I think it’s part of the journey of finding what you’re going to do for reals. But I still have moments where I let my mind wonder. This is important for my creativity. Don’t worry, if you work on it you’ll learn to focus and find your path.
