Life had begun

“Life begins at 40 the rest is just research” - James Beshara

I second that.

1-20 is like just trying to get through school and grow up to adulthood and the first job.
20-40 is like just trying to figure out who you are, what you really want to do.

And I did so many different things during those twenty years, from temporary jobs to permanent careers:

Soldier / Platoon Sergeant
Rock wall construction
Climbing instructor
Traffic surveyor
Catering
Discovery Channel programme scheduling
Social services planning
PowerPoint design
Web design
Graphic design
Freelancer
Design thinking
Public service officer
Consultant
UX researcher
Coach
Trainer
Facilitator
Indie hacker

Only now, at 46, do I feel like I’m getting close to what I want to do for life:

Entrepreneur.

That’s it.

Maybe when I finally hit $10k MRR will I call myself a legit entrepreneur.

But I’m already living it.
Life had begun.
