This was such a good read, just changed my entire perspective on failure, I've always thought I needed to constantly have my shit together and show up online even when I'm drowning, will be taking a different approach from today. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Keri, thank you so much for reading. I relate with your comment as that was my view until one day. I was like "wtf am I doing?" Took the break and it was the best thing that happened to me.
I tell people, you're not mandated to share ALL your failures all in the name of building in public. You'll probably get more discouraged than motivated. Take some time out, invest in yourself, get back to the drawing board, then get back when you have a clear plan. Rooting for you🙂
Hi John, I just finished reading this. It feels a bit weird since I am also going through a quiet period of my own. The only difference is that I focused more on field work rather than writing during that time and day after day I wonder how I can be better or how I can secure clients. However it seems like a vague dream I’m not capable of achieving. I’ll keep watching out for this space to learn a thing or two. Thanks for sharing😊.
Hi Mariam, I want to immediately say: it gets better. I know this sounds an overused saying but it truly does get better. If you ever need to get on a call, just reach out and I'll fix something.

You're welcome, Faridah.
This is so inspiring and just what I needed. One thing that stuck with me is when you don't know what's possible, you settle for what's available .
Thanks for this !!
This is an amazing read, packed with lessons. Thanks for sharing, John. Cheers to the next $1 milli.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm going through a freelancer downtime myself and really needed this.
Thanks again.
Hi John.
Thank you for sharing your story, unfiltered. This has energized me.
I'm currently struggling to get work on Upwork and LinkedIn, after putting in a lot of effort. And I thought it was just me.
I guess I'll just keep my head down and put in the necessary reps and be patient.
It's refreshing to know that freelancing isn't a linear journey as it seems on the surface.
