My income varies so wildly that I can earn $15k one month and $1k the next. I have multiple projects and sometimes a product goes viral and does really well.
Due to how my income goes up and down constantly, I generally just feel poor and in constant struggle mode.
The project I’m most passionate about also does the least well financially. I’m not super ambitious, I started my company to try to make a difference. I’m thinking of getting a job again after 8 years of being self-employed.
Anyone relate?
Here’s my mindset for all the businesses I’ve owned: I didn’t start them to become wealthy, I started them them to get “healthy”. Healthy in this context means to earn enough money to live comfortably and be able to move through a life catastrophe successfully. Not to say I wouldn’t complain if I got wealthy, but “healthy” is my benchmark for success in business.
