I bet this question crossed your mind at least once.
Every day I see posts like “Is it still worth investing in this skill?” or “Should I still start a business doing that?” And honestly, it reminds me so much of the questions I used to ask myself.
I started freelancing when I was around 16. Back then, I didn’t have much experience, but I grabbed every opportunity I could (even probono work) just to learn, improve, and build a name for myself. I tried everything: graphic design, marketing, copywriting, social media management,… basically anything that helped me learn something new or build my portfolio.
Years later, I thought to myself: hmm what if I built something of my own? I didn’t need capital, just the skills I’d developed from freelancing over the years. That’s how I ended up building my small studio. I now work a full-time job, but I still manage my studio on the side.
We charge $79 per client for full social media management.
Will it make us rich? No. But does it help us get by, and give us something we love doing? Absolutely.
So when I see people questioning whether it’s still worth investing in a certain skill or starting a small business, I always think: yes, it is, if you’re willing to put in the time to actually learn, improve, and keep going even when it’s slow. You never know how those skills will pay off in the long run.
People love to say “jack of all trades, master of none” like it’s a bad thing, but they forget the full quote: “Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one.”
To anyone still figuring things out, whether you’re freelancing, running a small business, or just trying to make something work, there’s always room for you. Keep learning, keep experimenting, and keep moving forward.
The results will come with time.
