Accept that I didn't need a regular job like everyone else.
I abandoned my fear of being an entrepreneur and embraced the idea.
I lowered my cost of living, valued my skills, and started freelancing to pay the bills while I try to build something.
My best decision so far. Ironically today I work a lot more, but the realization of doing something with my time aligned with my dreams makes all the difference.
I sent some cold emails to some companies that I knew might be interested in my profile and contacted people looking for freelancers, monthly ask HN seeking freelancers was a good place to start. Also, I contacted some friends in the market offering my services.
Note to anyone considering doing something similar: Networking is an important business, don't neglect it.
