My belief was that money is a really easy thing to obtain regardless of what was going on in the 3D. Even though I had $11 to my name, I knew I had massive chunks of cash sitting somewhere for me and thats what got me through each day of the money hurt.
A month later, I was recruited to do an in-home tech study which is flexible and required a few hours a day. The pay out for that was $6000 a month for 2 months for just a couple hours a day.
Right before I started the tech study, I finally landed a full time job that was paying $30 an hour. It's an okay pay rate, but it's really good for what it is. Simple tasks at low to moderate work load.
So thanks to the job, I was able to save every dime from the study and got everything I needed to start my own buisness (nothing online or anything.)
Fast forward a few more weeks, got the buisness running and set my own pay rate of $200 per appointment which lasts no longer than 90 min.
On days im not at my job, I'm working through my buisness doing 3 - 5 appointments a day. So far, the most amount of money I made in a single day (through labor) was $1400 in the span of 8 hours all earned and paid out!
I don't really have to offer much depth in terms of advice, but learn to adopt a positive mind set, know that what you want is already yours, and remember that good things can occur just as quickly as things can go bad!
