Yes I know, very cliche question. Let me break it down for you. I’m a website developer by trade who gets frustrated when coding / building websites. I’m more of a coder than designer but I try to be a one man shop which doesn’t always work out. Anyway, I’m not sure if I should niche and continue the web design or software path or choose a different field all together. I really don’t know much besides fitness / bodybuilding and computers / websites. Other than that I’m at a complete loss. I would have no problem sticking with websites but I ALWAYS had issues getting clients. I just don’t know what to do in that area. Any advice, suggestions, different ideas?

How about focusing on making websites for gyms and fitness folks, since you know a lot about both coding and bodybuilding? To get more clients, try hanging out where fitness and tech people do, both online and in person, and show off your work more on social media. Also, think about picking up some design and business tricks to boost your game and attract more customers.

Niche down. Pick an industry and develop websites specifically for that industry, so that you can dominate that niche.
For example, I build software, but I specialize in the divorce law/family attorney industry. This helps me convert more attorneys since my portfolio isn’t filled with other stuff they don’t care about.
I’m finding that I get bored of my ideas pretty quick. Because I don’t care about whether or not they exist really. And the more I try to think of what I really truly care about existing in the world the more terrified I am at embarking on that endeavor.
Only recently did I realize that I’ve had the same thought in the back of my head for a long time and never even thought to try and make it a reality because it seemed so ridiculously far fetched. I’ve let every other tiny idea occupy my time.
If you had pressed me about what I cared about I probably would not have even mentioned it. But now that I’ve realized how much I care about this one stupid thing, I can’t see myself stopping. It feels so stupid to even try but yet I keep working on it with no expectation of success.
I think everybody probably has a similar problem. Their passion is staring them in the face but they refuse to recognize it as anything other than an outlandish pipe dream.
