Hi, I'm new here, but I have been wanting to start my own business forever. I have been in my career for 26 years. I am a graphic artist/motion designer at an agency in Boston. I have a BFA in graphic design, and I learned photoshop at a young age. I design 3d animations as well as models for 3d printing. I like my career. It's not a bad way to make a living - but I'm in the slow lane. I know I am capable of doing so much more. I'm trying to figure out different options to create income that is somewhat passive, other than the stock market, and 401 (k)s I have thought about teaching a course, or selling 3d assets, and I have taken on many freelance projects. I would like to find something where I can do what I'm at good at (creating visuals/motion graphics) and help others at the same time. Just thinking out loud.

Thanks,
Scott
