I’m trying to listen to my gut at all times now. Not listening to my gut has gotten me into trouble in the past. I’m now correcting that.

My gut tells me to do whatever I need to do to get a job. I may also build a website and put myself on freelancing websites. I’m not yet there though. I spoke with a consultant/freelancer last week in my industry. He has 12 years of experience - I have 11. He makes between 15-20k per month consulting. When he was not freelancing and working perm jobs, he made it to a higher level than me though, so he has stronger credentials. But it was eye opening, educational and helpful to talk to him. He said he started freelancing on the side in 2017, with the goal of going into business for himself eventually.

My gf encourages me to build my website and start freelancing. I may. The problem is, I need access to tools I’d have to pay for. Which makes it tougher when you’re on a tight budget. Maybe I’m just afraid. I think I am. Afraid to fail.
