Dear Daniel,
Thank you for stopping by. It’s dangerous to check the final picture of someone’s life without knowing the struggle. What did your friends have to say no to for many years?
I always recommend starting a business as a side hustle. From what I noticed, successful writers do sell products besides writing. Check out the Side Hustle podcast, it’s a great source of inspiration.
I have my Master’s in publishing but never worked at a publishing house because I was too impatient to start at the bottom of the career ladder, just like you mentioned. My classmates who started as editorial assistants are high up now and I even hired one of them for a few hours to look over my proposal. I’m not envious, I just chose a different route, which I’m enjoying immensely.
Good luck on the road of self discovery!
