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?
Can definitely relate. Up until this point, I was all-in with my core business (agency). It was/is quite lucrative, but it’s not stable. Now, I’m trying to diversify in two main ways: a) skill diversification by learning a new skill (something I wanted to do for a long time), and b) revenue diversification by launching other companies (have launched two already). I don’t know where all this will lead me, but I sleep better at night, knowing that I don’t keep all my eggs in the same basket.
