David Thanks so much for sharing this!

Your openness is truly an inspiration!

A little something from my experience, which might be suitable for you too.

I run a "keyword campaign" on Google, I invest $10 a day in it (~$300 a month), and it creates a pretty steady stream of leads.

Like in your case, most of them are not a good fit, but for me it's worth the investment.

The Google ad leads to an informative landing page, which leads to my calendly to schedule a free half-hour conversation.

I used a professional to build the Google campaign, I did it once, and this campaign has been running for almost two years, with almost no intervention on my part.

If I could upload a file here, I would show you the statistics.

The click rate on my ad is 10% on average.

Anyways, just an idea..

I wish you the best of luck.

I will continue to follow!

Thanks for sharing detailed info about your journey. I find this piece super honest and helpful as I'm about to start my career break. The finance breakdown would help me understand how you think about passive income and and running multiple project simultaneously. Love it!

I am so appreciative of your openness around your own journey, David. Loads of personal food for thought off the back of it so thank you. From where I am sitting, it all sounds pretty impressive but I totally get that it might not be the dramatic change you might have been looking for. (I was also glad to see we sent, albeit a tiny number, of subscribers your way last week 😊). Good luck with your continued exploration, wherever it may take you and, in the meantime, very best wishes for baby's arrival and the festive season. 👶

Loved this piece, thank you for sharing David. I’m looking forward to the next update already.

You asked for feedback/ questions: as I was reading through your story I was wondering if you would also share any money you spend investing in yourself such as courses, coaching, or people helping you with designing materials etc. I would personally find this super valuable.

All the best with the baby’s arrival and happy holiday season!

Deb
