Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, second best time is today, so at least you figured out all these things early.

In fact investing at all puts you ahead of most people,

I don't know much about your boyfriends but I can say you are a doer now, you're kicking ass doing a side hustle, you write wonderfully (soft skills) and you wrote this great, vulnerable piece, so unconcealed weaknesses, 31 is your year

thanks so much! I guess I don't have side hustles anymore since I don't have a "job" with a company. So side hustles = main hustles. There is a lot more ups and downs but gotta embrace the suck

I relate to number 2 so much! I was always in idea mode, dreaming big with grand visions and 1000+ people waitlists. When reality didn't match up, I'd think the idea was flawed and move on to another grand vision. It wasn't until recently that I realized the problem was not committing to the execution. Thanks for sharing these learnings!
