OK...I tried something else new. Tried my hand a freelancing a web design. Bad idea. Crashed and burned. The client hated it and my self worth is completely smashed.
Wow. I didn't see this coming.
So what have I learned from this?
a) I need a thicker skin
b) I need to hyperfocus on the things that I know I do well, not the things that I kinda do well.
c) Never, ever do work for friends. You'll not forgive them if they don't appreciate your work with the same urgency you do.
Funny...I've been yelling at myself for not writing. This latest failure has been instructive in that I need to listen to the authentic voice in my head. Disregarding it like it's a bag lady on the street holding a cardboard sign ("pay attention to me") isn't smart.
I'm also comforting myself by remembering what happened to Terry Gross. She famously failed before finding her niche.

After seeing your blog, I also thought to learn about the plumbing courses online from new trades career. As, the plumbing looks so interesting to fix anythings. It is really very interesting to know that howmuch we can do if we know about the plumbing.
