Hello everyone. Long story short I will try to be as objective as possible. 9 months ago I was a professional video editor, freelancer and was making good money out of it. Decided to change my work and go to sales. I went into sales and started work in the best business coaching in Bulgaria and probably in the world (won’t say the name of the company). I have been working there for 7 months now as a sales representative but because of inappropriate target audience assessment from their side, they managed to convert only 2% of the leads I gave them. As a result, my commission was really low. I shared with them that I am considering starting a new side hustle just to have some cashflow going so I can start investing money but they advised me to stay for longer in sales and it will pay me. I don’t know…I don’t have cashflow and this really makes me anxious and unmotivated to do anything whatsoever. I also have a chance to start a mobile detailing business. Don’t know what’s appropriate to do - listen to them / listen to my anxious ass…
Given your situation, it’s important to align your next steps with your long-term goals. If stability and immediate cash flow are your priorities, exploring a side hustle like mobile detailing could be a wise move. However, consider the demands of balancing it with your current sales job. Don’t overlook your video editing skills either; they could offer additional freelance opportunities. Have an open discussion with your current employer about your concerns and the commission structure. Trust your instincts and make a decision that feels right for you, ensuring you have a solid financial plan in place. It’s all about what works best for your goals and lifestyle.
