RE: Why it is important to be multi-faceted as an entrepreneur. (and why it is crucial to never give up)
I always tell people that want to work for themselves that they should either have 2 years expenses saved up, or expect to be poor for the next two years
When I was starting off on my own as a freelancer, I racked up a huge credit card debt to get off the ground, but now, nearly 15 years later, I'm making a very decent living, and have people constantly asking me for advice. The only advice I give them is keep working at it and it will happen if it's something you're willing to work at.
I was poor for two years. HAH. Just getting out of it. :)
Thanks for the comment, I hope to make it to where you're at in 15 years. ^_^
keep at it and you will....everyone I knew (including my parents!) told me to give up early on and get a real job, don't listen to them!
I have a pretty cool career that came out of a high school hobby, in a super competitive field.
