I'm 23 years old currently working in IT at a very good paying job, but I don't like the idea of going to work everyday and busting my ass for somebody else to maybe get a small raise every year. The most financially successful people are the ones that start their own companies and I don't really find much enjoyment in my current role because the company is so large it is hard to feel like I am making an impact even though I know I am.I am highly motivated, but my problem is and always has been trying to be good at everything. I'm currently a SQL DBA in a Microsoft shop so I know a TON of different technologies. I've also recently entertained the idea of becoming a C# web dev at my current company and have watched several classes on Udemy (I think I am leaning towards doing this because developer experience is more valuable in entrepreneurship than being an enterprise DBA.. lol). On top of this, I have also developed websites for different friend's businesses on WordPress and worked with digital marketing quite a bit (SEO, web design, PPC). Then on top of this, I use to film and create/edit video promotions with my DSLR and DJI mavic drone.. now I build and fly custom FPV drones for fun and plan on selling that footage to businesses.If the last paragraph sounded convoluted... It's because it is. I want to do EVERYTHING because I don't really understand what my passion is and it ends up being too much. No joke.. I 100% feel like I am having a midlife crisis every single fucking day of my life for the past 3 years. I'm honestly above average in just about all of my hobbies so it is not like I suck at designing websites, making videos, or tuning SQL databases...I do quite enjoy helping small businesses so my my most recent venture has been trying to startup my own agency because I see so many businesses struggling just to nail the basics and while I know a lot of people are starting agencies I don't really believe the market is all that crowded... Especially if you don't count the agencies that suck at what they do (just when I check the websites of the ones in my area I want to vomit...). However, once again I feel like I am trying to bite off more than I can chew. Researching LLCs and trying to figure out a business name and design a logo and figure out what services I am going to offer before I even have a first real client, which I KNOW is all that matters in the beginning (and yet I still tell myself I need a solid website and business name before going after clients). I'm scared that even if I get good at one thing I'm going to get bored and want to move on to the next and expand my services.Before this post gets too long I just want to hear from you all how you deal with this type of mindset. I know the most successful entrepreneurs are the ones that focus and become the very best in their field, but I'm just not sure I can ever be that guy who masters one thing. Even if I chose digital marketing as my side hustle, I have a problem picking one field within that field to narrow down on and get really good at it... =[ see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
