[quote=Anonymous]What the F ever. You do not have to accept mediocrity! This will always nag at you no matter what, unless you take control of it.

I was in almost the exact same boat you were 10 years ago. Trailing spouse, bachelor's and master's degree, "acceptable" career. Never really truly excelled at anything, just above average, but yearning for more career-wise.

So, I prayed and read, do not laugh, Steering by Starlight by Martha Beck & decided to start my own business. It was very hard at first, failed a lot (but tried to learn from it). Eventually, like 2-3 years later, I was making low 6 figures & had a flexible schedule. Now, approx 300K & very flexible schedule.

My humble advice to you, please take time to figure out what you want (the Martha Beck book will help you with this; yes, she has had her own personal issues, but this book has good advice). Passive income streams are your friends. Envision accomplishing your goals. Be willing to do the work to get there. Be ready to fail & learn.
