I've been in your shoes. I was in a place that I KNEW I wanted to get out of - I didn't want that to be my life forever. However, with SO MANY choices available, many of them a bit scary, it made my head spin (and my knees quiver) sometimes.
I saw too many people getting frustrated, angry, and put in more debt simply because MANY people were offering us options that made THEM money, and rarely made YOU/ME money. (If you are over 50 like me, you'll remember the saying "Is it Live or is it MEMOREX?").
It's hard to know what's real sometimes, and what's doable for us (the average person), and what's really only making money for those 1%'ers.
I tried several things 'part time' while I was in corporate American, none of them leading me where I knew I was meant to be - having a better life AND making money. I really wanted BOTH of those things and knew I didn't want to choose just 1 or the other.
I was lucky enough to ask the right questions, and get the answers that allowed me to choose an option that was perfect for me, my family, my health and my future. When you know where you want your life to be, and are ready to make informed (and sometimes hard) decisions, you can get the life you want as well.
When I learned 3 things, I turned my side hustle into my full time gig because it just made sense:
When you get comfortable being uncomfortable, you can grow and change by leaps and bounds because learning just makes sense
When you make the decision, knowing that you are ok pivoting if the facts tell you that is
When you are honest with yourself, choosing what fits your life becomes simpler
everything you want,
you're in the right place
