The really useful lesson that I'd like to highlight here is: In 2020, even if you're a smart hardworking person and enterprising and so on, it's surprisingly hard to make a buck, much less a living. Now, if you've worked at GCP for 10 years as an enterprise architect and your books is like "insights into using GCP" - that may not be very hard. You could make real money fast. But it took 10 years to get there, to accrue those credentials - essentially, to build your business. 10 years in, you might be able to make over 100k, on your business. But it took 10 years to lay the groundwork. Now, of course, anytime anyone has an idea, it could be good, or bad. As a business, it could be a good business, or a bad business. But seeing the forest for the trees here is recognizing that you're going to have to cycle through a surprisingly large number of ideas, and fight off a lot of other people who are trying just as hard as you are, in 2020. |
