"pick 1 thing and do it right!" Is generally the more sensible approach, but I'd like to commit to all 3.

I'm a creative / tech / marketing / designer with a business degree. I went to school for business while being mostly interested in technology, I figured it would be more sensible to have a business degree while learning about computers/technology instead.

I don't think tech guys get the respect they deserve, especially not early on, working for an app company short term years ago I experienced how the sales team had more fun while the tech team always felt like they were pressured to keep up with the latest bug. To be in technology for a trade takes a lot of experience and credit people just don't reward the same way imo as managerial/sales roles .

Anyway,

I have 3 projects, I'd like to develop them all.

1 - ClassFind - Web App to help people find their classrooms at University
2 - INDICANADA - Cannabis company
3 - MadPerfect.com - Independent content creator. Thought pieces, advice, analysis

1, 2 are in motion. 3 I have a backlog of content ideas ready to execute.

The last 5 years of my life has been really geared towards personal development, acquiring equipment/gaining experience. Had some stress the pass couple years, I think part of it is a realization that the world is not set up well to encourage a healthy living, and it's hard to see anyone who's happy with their current circumstances. With that, it's hard to find a path worth pursuing, and I've come to the conclusion I have to create a new path that will work to create the healthy living.

So to end this post I guess I came here to try to an engage with anyone who's in the same position as me. I've tried to connect and make relationships with other content creators, but they rarely have the 'entrepreneurial' mindset or drive. Most creatives have to wait for someone else to do it first, then they feel comfortable copying/imitating it, whereas I always felt more comfortable having confidence leading.

I'm not driven to succeed to become a millionaire, I really would just like to sustain a living helping others and trying to monetize my activity in the process. I'm all about organic followers and growth rate, possibly to a fault where I reject tricks others use to gain a following like using buzzwords or doing contests/giveaways.

Thanks for reading!
