"Ultimately, I’m in this for the long-game. And the decision to put in the hard work now comes down to the fact that it’s a gateway to a new kind of freedom. A freedom I never had before. Knowing how to code will allow me to be able to act on ideas whenever inspiration strikes, to execute my own visions without having to find someone (and pay someone) to do it for me."
This is so great. I think a lot of people easily get sucked into the moment and keep their head down task to task. They come out of it months or years later and realize they've been making a huge mistake.
It may not feel like there are instant payoffs at this point, but if you stay focused and work hard, there is no way it won't pay off 1, 2, 3+ years from now. Good work :-)
Yup. Totally. It's really hard to do the things that don't pay off now - especially when you're struggling to get started growing a business. But if you're able to carve out at least some of your time for longer-term goals I think the payoff is going to be huge.
