I have my own digital marketing business. I launched it in 2016 as a sideline. It became self-sustaining around fall 2017.
Back then, my #1 priority was to escape from the office work boredom and gain a financial freedom.
There are issues currently with it.
#1. There is a lot of grinding. Countless of hours to get some growth.
#2. Marketing, while fascinating isn't my #1 passion.
I used to be a software engineer. That is my thing. That is my passion. This is in what I'm excelling at (I have at least 2 patches credited to me in the Linux kernel for instance). When I wanted to change my situation, I wasn't escaping from developing software. I wanted to escape the working condition. The open office space reminds me more a chicken coop than anything else and I'm worth better than be treated like a hen.
Even now with my current business, the time that I am the most thrilled is when I am finding an opportunity to write some software to automate stuff.
The current state is this:
#1. I don't have a boss anymore but the price is very high. I have enslaved myself with my demanding business. I work 7 days/week.
#2. I need to find something else if I want to reach my financial goals in a short-time frame. ie: 7 digits income/year.
In my SM3 journal... Around October, I did receive a phone call from an old acquaintance that had a marketing/FX trading opportunity to offer me...
Some connection did happen in my head. Long time ago (about 10 years ago), I had the dream to work for a big Wall Street bank, work as a Quant trader. I did enroll in a math/finance master degree program. I have been hired by Morgan Stanley. Knowing that this firm prefer hiring fresh graduates, I felt special that they made a job offer to an old wolf like me. and to top it off, I got a newborn daughter at home. It was way too much in my plate and the whole thing fall apart. I did sacrifice my master degree only after 2 difficult (but very enjoyable) semesters (Math is something else that I like very much and that I'm good at. This is why I choose an egineering degree in the first place) because my employer was asking people to do overtime due to the Tokyo earthquake (the Tsunami that caused Fukushima disaster). It was the worse ever decision that I made as they fired me few months after.
So, I'm definitely feeling it very strongly that cryptocurrency day trading could be a winner move for me that could improve my situation and address my current issues.
And no. It isn't my second run. This is a first run.
