I have always been very candid and transparent on this platform.

I started my freelancing journey back in 2021 and it’s been 3 years.

Time just flew by!

Freelancing is one of the best decisions of my life because it showed me what I am capable of. It made me aware of my immense potential.

But it also increased:

  • My greed to earn more money
  • My ego that I am better than everyone around me
  • My stress: finding the right team member, dealing with clients and their requirements, and thinking about the business operations 24/7.

And don’t get me wrong, all these are not bad.

Some people thrive in this.

They thrive in such environments, and they enjoy building and running this business, just like I once did.

Yes, up until one point (I can’t exactly tell you which point it was), I was extremely happy and excited to do what I was doing.

But after these 3 years, something changed within me.

I want to take it slow now.

I don’t want to deal with so many people, I don’t want to run after numbers…
