After a long time thinking about working for myself I took the plunge last year. When I started I thought it would easy to find a small niche/product to replace my salary.
But reality has been very different. I look for problems in various areas but as I find any small niche that is attractive I find there are 2 dozen competitors already operating in this space. Which leads me to abandon my current project.
After 1 year of self-employment, all I can show for few dozen excitements and demoralization. Nothing shipped.
I am reasonably confident to be able to build most things if I have the motivation (I have worked in one of the FAANG) and I see some path of it giving me sustainable monthly income.
Would love to get your perspective on this what I am doing wrong how can I course correct.
