I’ve not been lurking, in fact I’ve barely made time to visit over the past 6 months.
I think I underestimated how difficult the fast lane actually was.
My last post ( I made £610 on Etsy in a new brand) I was so tired of the consistency of daily abuse, lies, lack of respect etc, that I closed the once ever growing lockdown brand in August.
I turned over £80,000 in 10 months from my back garden. I can hardly moan, I could’ve probably invested more, got staff and expanded but as mentioned, the torrent of hate got too much and as our original business (events sector) started to pick up, I found a fresh outlook on continuing it and so, shut the other shop down.
As an ADHD brain, life has been fairly more difficult as I pick out and note my behaviours.
I head to tiktok to document my daily life of living with ADHD (something I signed myself up to do last year) only to find that a million others have now done this.
I also thought about dabbling in personal branding and it seems all my ideas have been executed in one way or another and I’m left to kick myself at yet another failed start, thanks to my brain.
ADHD in women is like the new trend. A mass of women born in the 80’s/90’s now discovering their misdiagnosed Bi-polar or depression was actually ADHD…
So to finish … My events business ticks over and keeps me busy but it isn’t a fast lane business.
I’ve had a nosy at NFTs and Put a very small amount on Bitcoin in hope to try and understand it a little more as the digital coin takes over.
Im feeling a little lost. As I hit 40 next year, I can’t help but feel a little peeved. All this knowledge in my head, still isn’t enough. I’ve tucked into learning and self teaching many skills in my 10 years of business and I feel ready to Chuck the towel in and say ‘Well, I tried”.
Something stops me doing that.
I want to invest my time in something that has a worthy cause but leads to a fast lane life (one that is profitable without my being on the go 24/7) and I’m stuck.
