    Great video, super helpful! One thing that came to mind is that in this ne and only context, when deciding on whether to give up on the skill or not, the sunk cost fallacy should be a GREAT motivator for you in NOT giving up the skill. Though you CAN give up the skill if it isn't working out after that and get back to it a few years later, sometimes we aren't ready for some skills and it's important to be mindful of that.

    Its better for your mental health (if you want to use that term) to have kids. Spares you from being egocentrical and narcissist. It teaches you to be a better person and care for something beyond these goals which are not impressive at all and last very little. It teaches you to be resilient work hard for others (volunteering and social work are not the same). It teaches you to tolerate being uncomfortable. Teaches you to make tough decisions.

My channel went from a little over 100 subs to close to 400 subs. It’s not much but I’m hoping the rate of subs will increase as the channel becomes more popular and I get more views. Anyway, I love your content.

    It's because you're bald. Trust me, as a bald man for almost a decade, and dealing with the social fallout, I have realized most of life is blind luck, and most of that blind luck is informed by the quality of our social connections, which is directly downstream of how physically attractive we are to other people. I have struggled with this for years, and only recently realized the real dissatisfaction I experience in my life is a direct result of being unattractive. I haven't found peace with this brutal realization, but it's the only logical conclusion I have calculated after growing up as a contractor's son and learning all the requisite tradesman skills while building houses in the 00s, getting straight A grades in high school, graduating art school, working in tech and startup culture for years, managing to forge a now 15 year career as a web developer, renovating my own house down to the studs by myself, writing and publishing a novel, and various other artistic pursuits and films that have left me feeling nothing but dissatisfied. None of these accomplishments matter because ultimately nobody cares. I no longer have goals. I'm trying to sell the house I just renovated. I have worked 15 hour days for nothing more than nobody to want to buy this damn house. I'm probably going to lose this current job I have to the remote vs. in office war going on right now, and I don't care to try to find another corporate job. My only debt is a low (under $1,000) mortgage payment. I drive a 20 year old car and a 30 year old truck. My monthly expenses, including my mortgage, don't top $1,900. Including everything. I can do that delivering pizza, and why bother trying to do anything more? No women want me, I'm never going to have a family. I'll never reproduce. It all comes down to being ugly. It's a harsh reality. I have realized the deep dissatisfaction I feel in life is a direct result of how I look.

    One of favorite ridiculous lines used on me is: "You won't know if you'd be a good parent until you tried" So if I do try and it doesn't work out, can I send the kid back to the factory? Can I do a cash exchange? Kids aren't something you try out, they're not a product you can ship back to Amazon if you're not fully satisfied. The very idea that these people think you can just try out being a parent, as if it was a college class you can drop is just absurd. 😂

    Great video! Looking forward to part 3 :) I'm a product designer looking to try freelancing myself but my biggest obstacle right now (apart from finding clients) is using Webflow. I find that I struggle translating my designs across because my Webflow skills aren't at the same level as my Figma skills. I also had a couple questions I wonder if you could answer for me or cover in the next part. How do you share and deliver a final site to a client using Webflow? Do you also include the cost of hosting on Webflow in their bill? Thank you!

  • @jansleyreal
    @jansleyreal4 күн бұрын

    I hear you, I was the same way when I started Webflow. Very overwhelming UI at first. But now I love it! I don't cover those questions in part 3, but I can help here. To deliver a site to a client, you transfer ownership of the site to them. So they become the main host of the website, and pay for hosting. They then can add you as a guest designer so you can continue to make modifications if need be. As far as cost that's up to you. I would do it so they pay for the hosting, and I just charge for the actual design and dev service.

    I'm not gonna lie, that's a very difficult scenario to be in. I'm not even going to pretend like I'm qualified to give advice here. What I will say, is differences in preferences on children is nearly impossible to compromise on. Either you're willing to have kids, or you're not. There's really no middle ground. If you have the ability to go to the relationship therapist, that would probably be the most reasonable step.

    Yeah all parents I talk to within work and other places always talks about their kids, and nothing else. Which of course is understandable because your kids should be your world if you are a parent. However 80% of the time, they complain, and live each day on repeat. Everytime they are happy, or say they look forward to something, it's always when they have a childfree weekend. People say children is an investment for your own future. "Wouldn't you be lonely when you get old?", "Don't you want to be around loved ones at christmas or when you're retiring"?. Well for one, that is a selfish reason, so don't get kids because of just that, those parents end up regretting more often than not. And second, don't people realise that a lot might have siblings, cousins, friends etc.? If you're super unsure, you probably will regret either way. Just live your life and if it happens or not, that is all fine. Don't force yourself into it however

Jansley is ACTUALLY in the right path for himself. He has the one skill many creative people lack... he is taking RISK! The one reason successful people make it is because they take risk! He figured early that UX/UI is overrated and wack. Honestly, UX and UI is cake, you ain't the artist nor the developer... you are just the chick in the middle that we can all live without. You all mad that he has the cojones to be realistic, pragmatic and brave enough to not follow the pack like most of you. He is Star Trek head first where no of you ventured before.

    47 here, I doubt the path when you have put a lot of time and effort and it still economically sucks. What I'm passionate now is freedom and peace of mind, and that's 100% related to making money, investing, or having assets that have a return. So doesn't really matter what you do if you can save, and that includes outside of work, living frugal, below your means. There is so much bullshit about passion and liking your work, but even the most fun thing is repetitive, or the most helpful thing for others frustrate you when is not great economically. So I just place my energy where I have actual and sustainable dependable returns and go all in, and invest everything so I can not have anxiety and hopelessness.

It's never ending. At the end of the day is all about hope of a future that you're not obligated to do something when you don't feel like it, to have freedom. That's why so many dream of retirement, or being rich. So, work something that you can save most of your money invest on an index fund. It's not your work what gives you happiness, that's intrinsic, is about your state of mind and loved ones. But peace and hope comes for seeing a future were you're not a slave anymore, and the only way out is patrimony, if you don't have it, you have to create it as fast as possible.... took me decades to escape the "follow your passion" trap. 🙏🏻🤙🏻

    This is amazing. I never wanted kids either my mom was a single mother we struggled a lot growing up. Also I'm biracail and I was bullied for like twelve years in public school growing up. Which lead to a condition which made it crystal clear not to have kids. I invest in my hobbies I have two gym memberships. I like going to coffee shops reading spending time with my family and going on meetups. I love cats and I want to volunteer with cats until I get another one. I'm an animal lover. I love my life. But I do work with kids. I see myself as their fun childfree aunt even though they are not related to me. But yeah I'm going to keep my job it's also for a school district so there are really good benefits. I'm currently on summer break. I'm loving every minute of it.
