About a year ago I made the jump to the world of being fully self employed. I took the untraditional route here and bought a company.My original plan was to hire a management team and have it keep steady and kick off a dividend while I stay at my w-2. Long story short things went south with my w-2 and I left to jump into the company I just bought. Quickly I started pushing consulting similar to what I was doing at my w-2 and ended up more or less running two businesses.A year later here I am with nearly 15 different opportunities struggling to say no. Most opportunities I’m working with are paying in the $250/hr range or $100+ with equity plays. But I feel like I’m going in 20 different directions and hate it. On the flip side a year in i don’t know how to say no to opportunities that pay so well despite feeling overwhelmed and well off on cash for the moment. I’ve had months where I make $2k and others where I made $40k+. The wins feel good but I feel frustrated constantly going in a different direction. Am i wrong to feel this way or am is it reasonable for me to feel like I’m on the brink of burning out actively working 30-50 hrs a week but thinking about work 70 hours a week?I guess it’s also worth saying I love what I’m doing right now, just feeling tired and a bit isolated/personally lonely which adds to my confusion and frustration with “how do I figure out what to focus on?/be happy/not hyper focus on work and building a business (or two)?” see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
