Keep trying to set up an online business or choose the work life?

Do both, get a job and run your online business on the side.

 

I don’t have any experience but I do have advice.

Do what you love to do. Don’t feel like you need to be shoved into work you hate. Also don’t measure your success by looking at others. That person in the Mercedes might be a miserable sod that’s hating life because he’s stuck in a job he/she hates. Money doesn’t bring happiness.

Also your big break will never come if you give up. Keep doing what you love doing and perhaps something big will happen. Quit it and that something big will never happen.

Another thing that comes to mind is do some “brainstorming” and think of ways you might do what your doing now in a different way that might have more success. Perhaps your methods have become stale and you need a new appointment. Just a thought.

I’m fortunate to have a job I love. But I hear so many stories from people stuck in jobs they hate and can’t leave for one reason or another. You certainly don’t want that happening to you!

 

You must be patient and look for other more lucrative businesses. You must be an entrepreneur, not an employee.

But on a more serious note I think your mentality is wrong. First of all it seems like you are measuring succesfullness and even the worth of your life and correctness of your career choices merely on financial profit. Why? Doesn't it matter how happy you are otherwise or wether you are doing something you personally enjoy or not? As far as I understood your income has been average so far and thus more than enough for living a life that most of the people in the world (when you count in developing countries etc.) would call luxurious. So why do you need a mercedes?

Secondly if money is really such an important value to you, your work mentality is wrong. You're trying to gain the thing that in your eyes defines the value of your life and yet you are using excuses like losing motivation or not wanting to work for a company. Like if you can be content in your life right now, that's okay, but if your current situation makes you feel like you're too average and living your life wrong, I think you should start working harder. That might mean stickong to your onine business ideas even when you don't have motivation or maybe getting a full time job and working on online businesses simultaneously. Getting rich without a shit ton of luck is going to be hard, so if that's actually your only life goal, get used to things being hard.

It's all life choices here. What do you valud the most? Having some freedom to do what you want in the moment and maybe more time or working hard for more money? I would personally try to find contentment and meaning in a life you call "average" merely based on the amount of income maybe by figuring out if what you're doing feels right for you etc. but if in your eyes money is everything, at least pursue it with a suitable amount of passion.

 

I still hope to create my own business.

 

I am planning to open my own company in the next go. I am planning to open my own company for the production of soft toys for children in Montenegro. This country has very cool conditions for starting a business. The corporate tax rate is only 9%. Low cost and fast company setup. Not an offshore jurisdiction, which will protect your company and your funds. In order to speed up the process, I turned to the service https://companyformation.me/montenegro-company-formation-and-residency-pack/ for help, which professionally deals with the registration of companies in Montenegro and assistance with accommodation.
