One of your side hustles is currently making 6 figures in revenue, but you're saying you haven't hit "escape velocity yet?" I'm curious if your goals are more ambitious, or perhaps 6 figures of _revenue_ isn't necessarily profitable enough to sustain you?
>But I said that about 2018, and 2017 too.
Rings so true for me as well, unfortunately! This tweet from Justin Jackson has been making it's rounds the last couple of days, maybe it will be encouraging to you: https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1068773791952584704 https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1068773791952584704
- ryanwaggoner 8y agoCombination of a few things :) 1. I have good margin and am profitable, but not enough to cover lifestyle. See below: 2. I have a high cost-of-living, deliberately. I live in NYC, have a kid in private school, and travel a lot. Now, I fully recognize that I could lower my project risk by living a more austere lifestyle, but I'm comfortable with the tradeoff that I'm currently making. Of course, I'm still stressed and impatient, but that's more of an internal problem :)
- abalashov 8y agoYep, that's basically been my boat. I've not lived in a high-cost city per se, but I've always had big sources of personal drag, partly by choice, partly not.
