Fighting shiny object syndrome

There are so many wonderful-sounding money making ideas I want to try. Some of them are pretty easy to setup, many are free to start. So I start to think that I should diversify and add one more potential stream of income.

And then I realize that shiny object syndrome has struck me again. I look at my browser and notice I have about 10 tabs open and I'm bookmarking everything. I have to stop! I find myself praying a lot more often for the will to stay focused.

When I first started school my goal was to become an expert web developer so I could own a web development business. So everything I do should be focused toward that goal and that includes my side hustle ventures. I looked at the seven gigs I listed on Fiverr and realized that only two of them were related to web development. Why? Because I discovered some graphics programs that made me want to create stuff other than websites. So I'll edit those remaining five gigs to offer web development services instead.

All side hustle ideas that are not related to web development are on pause until I max out the Fiverr and Etsy listings with web development services. Then I'll also open accounts on freelancing sites to be able to place bids to win web developer jobs there as well.

Shiny object syndrome must lose so that my goals can win. With God's help it will happen.
