When I realised I would be "poor" all my life working for others, and reckoned I should try to pursue my business ideas.... It turned up I already have two kids and my daily costs are too high to leave my current job.
It feels to me like you're describing bootstrapping, but creating a startup and getting investment and paying yourself a (moderate) salary could still be an option?
Obviously every alternative has its own (dis) advantages.
If you want other's money you need to convince them. That means a lot of extra work writing plans, and when you receive the money you are inmediately diluted.
For that reason I always pursue ideas I can start developing on my own... And it is then when I find my main weak point: I don't have enough time...
My case is a bit weird cause I have way more followers on Instagram than in the social media where I share the links.
Lately I am sharing them in:
- Reddit (own subreddit) and later I crosspost to relevant subreddits.
- Facebook Page
- Twitter
- Linkedin "Company" Page:
For these last three I use a wordpress plugin that repost automatically the old content from time to time. Honestly, the strategy is not yet providing many followers.
I would wonder if I really want to write a blog (where people arrives, typically by chance, and never goes back) or build an online app (where people go back because it is useful for them).
Not sure this is the amazing answer you are looking for :)
But I bought it in 2007. It is a Compal FL90. Currently running Windows 10 perfectly. That is actually amazing.
