Good to see that i'm not the single one that struggles with such existence thoughts. Yes, i am a software engineer as well. I love challenges, and really love to read a lot (marketing, entrepreneurship, things that helps create a business). As a introduction about me, I wanted to earn a living from my projects since 17 (there are more than 10 years since then). I started working on personal projects, and unfortunately, i got the virus. The little successes has got an amazing satisfaction to me, that couldn't be replicated in any job i worked. And no antidote found by now :) For the last 2 years, it got worse and worse. I quit once my job, got a new one into a bigger company, stayed 3 months, offered the chance to work into a startup(moderate engineering, moderate decisions), and after 7 months, i am struggling again with giving up. What still keeps me in here are my personal projects. I invest some money in few of my projects, because i somehow try to buy my ticket to quit the full time job and go into the entrepreneurship world by myself. Or at least, i want to buy a year of my work life, working for me, as a try-learn-experience. All successful entrepreneurs teach us not to give up the full time job until we have a plan, savings, and our business already make some money working part time. I hardly follow this advice, but this is the way i'm trying to follow with my projects. Thanks to them, i didn't quit. The last 2 weeks were so unproductive for me at job, my mind is only at my projects, investments, and planning my escape to work for myself. My projects, my business... So far by now, i can only advice you in what works for me: part time work on your business, consolidate your escape plan. To me, DNhub.com, GetCode.org and easyCustomMaps.com are my source of motivation to continuing what am i doing now.. |
