M28. Quit a comfort job for a chance with my own business. It failed. Still going
I year ago I had stable job, startup that I worked on, I also applied to program that helps with early-stage startups and for me it was all new all quite hard, especially at the end of this program I had to speak out publicly in from of 40 people - I can't sleep for a few days before it, since I'm introverted guy and didn't do nearly to such big crowd of people, I made it - I took last place in startup contest, but I was happy that I did it anyway. Right after completing that program I decided to make in a some way 'leap of faith' where I quit my current stable job that I hate and go all in to make startup profitable, in case if I won't make it, I'll just try to get a better job, and after that point started real life for me.
After few months trying to make this startup profitable I understood that idea isn't good enough and it's not worth efforts to put it, so I decided to close it, it was hard, but necessary. I was devastated because at the same time I also broke with girlfriend that I tried to make relationships, and now I'm basically broke, project and didn't make relationship. Despite that I continued to search job and after ~8 month of searching and getting into debts I found a job. I started to think that I finally will be able to stabilize myself and start again with debts and maybe in a future try new projects, but after 4 months I was fired from this company, since I was too slow, as they said.
So now after 2 month of searching for a job, I started to feel that maybe 'life give me some lesson that I should accept' (I'm not that spiritual person, but those words are exactly the same that occur in my head). I still couldn't grasp it or accept that I should do differently in my circumstances.
But for now I have the only choice is to keep going till I find finally this damn job and have a chance to try again with startup, maybe next I'll make it profitable and my dream of becoming independent and create what I want become true
