I’m a film/media composer.
Every entrepreneur thinks about quitting. I have thought about quitting myself a lot too, but crawled back out of that every time so far.
This time I am however again really thinking about just finding a fun regular job.
The issue for me is having no self-control/discipline. So i just get distracted by other things like tv/gaming. I’ve tried every self-help book, every tip or trick there is, but in the end i always have these periods where i don’t have many gigs, i should be finding new gigs, but i just can’t get myself to do it.
I’m still nowhere making consistent money. I know i have the skills to do it, but if i keep getting distracted with weeks of not doing anything, is it even worth pursuing?
Isn’t a regular job, where someone tells you what to do just better cut out for me? Having someone accountable for what i do?
What are your experiences/advice on this matter?
Check if you have ADHD. I do and I followed a similar pattern for years. I go diagnosed and prescribed medication and my life completely changed as a result.
I used to not be able to start. Just get up and start. It was a horrible struggle. Now, when i’m on my meds I just do. I don’t even think about it.
See if that helps.
