The desire of doing something!
I have been in the corporate work sector for almost 10 years now and most of my time goes up in waking up and logging in and starting my day at work. I wanted to make this career when I was young and now I realise perhaps if I was born 10 years later I would have had more knowledge about what I wanted to be in my life but that is something which cannot happen now as I was already born 10 years before and I am in my 30’s not so happy with working for someone in a 9 to 5 job. I feel I have to ask leaves for my own life to spend my own time with my loved one’s.
A drawback when you stay abroad and my mother stays in another country. I have to plan to even meet her when sometimes I just want to get lost and book my time and work from anywhere not having to seek anyone’s permission. I am figuring out still what I am good at when many of my peers have built successful businesses at my age. I don't know if I didn't have guidance but I have many sources to research. I am a bit lost on how to make a start and live my mundane 9 to 5 job especially when I have to ask permission for my own time of my life. I would like to explore and I do have a desire to make money as I don't want to waste my time doing something which doesn't pay. Writing is something I enjoy but I don't think I have reached a stage where people would like to pay to read my content and another thing I am passionate about is teaching. In this online era, I need to learn to edit and make my video better than others to be able to deliver what the students want to learn.
I wish I could get similar to what I make in a day job in a more freelancing, flexible way and I had the opportunity to pick my hours and take off when I need. In short, I would like to be my own boss. Medium is definitely filled with a large quantity of content on side hustling but I am a bit hesitant to understand if people just write cause that’s the content that sells or they really do make money.
I wrote this story so if anyone can relate at all. In times when everyone is successful and they know what they are doing. There are few like me who are still figuring out what they want to do in their lives.
Please, like and keep reading my content if you can relate.
Thanks for reading :)
