I Need Advice

[Jev]

This is my first post, and as I lay here I question whether or not it should be. Over a year ago I was in a slump, my whole life seemed dark and gloomy. Then I discovered a book, Unscripted , it changed everything for me. It gave me hope. As the months passed, there was this fire in me that I used to learn somewhat marketable skills. I live in a rural area where opportunities are rare, so I thought to myself, why not try to find a job online or a market for my skills. I tried, and I still keep on trying to find remote or WFH jobs, or I try and find a business in need of any skill that I may possess. After nearly a year has passed, there's this lingering feeling of failure hovering above me. I just feel lost, I don't know what to do next.

Can you share your resume over here? The community members can probably take a look at it and pass it on to their network

This seems a bit long, a whole year.
Can you share something you've done?
Video or a design perhaps?
I'm curious about your skill level.

Well, a couple of months ago I designed some flyers for a few people that I knew and used the money from that to start an egg business for the area where I live in. Not very huge but I noticed that the people in my area had to travel to go and buy eggs, so that was a neat little opportunity. Now, I just feel as if I should be doing more, there is a lot more for me to do. I am just a bit lost, don't know what to do next
