Reflecting on the Past
Many of us reach a point in our lives where we realize that our current career no longer brings us the satisfaction and income we desire. It’s essential to take a step back, reflect on your past experiences, and acknowledge what no longer serves you. In the case of the individual who shared their story, they had a successful career in 3D visualization back in the 90s but found themselves struggling to make ends meet in recent years.

Exploring New Skills and Opportunities
Transitioning to a new career often requires learning new skills and exploring different opportunities. Thankfully, in today’s digital age, there are countless ways to acquire new skills and pivot to a new career path. Consider taking online courses, attending workshops, or seeking mentorship to hone your skills and expand your knowledge in areas that interest you.

Exploring New Career Paths
When it comes to exploring new career paths, the possibilities are endless. Consider options like online coaching, consulting, freelance work, or starting your own business.

#CareerTransition #IncomeGoals #NewBeginnings #SuccessAtAnyAge
It’s a beautiful thing that you’re thinking in this direction. I congratulate you for taking this bold step to ask for ideas.
If I were to suggest something for you, then it’d be to create a YouTube channel, and start sharing most of what you’ve learned in your prime.
You can share about your past failures, past successes, past downtimes, past skills you’ve acquired, past temptations you’ve fallen for, lessons, etc.
Just be vulnerable, and trust me, you’d gain people’s attention in no time.
You can name the YouTube channel something like “second chance”, “the second journey” etc.
Don’t worry about making fanciful videos. Just make the videos and publish, people will love it because of its originality.
When you’ve gotten 1K subscribers and 4000 watch hours, you can now apply for YouTube monetization.
You can also monetize by selling materials like ebooks, guides to your audience, or you can easily sell coaching to younger people where you hold them by the hand and teach them about life.
You can hold clarity sessions too for people and teach them how not to make life mistakes.
If you put in the work, in 8-12 months, you’d be amazed at the level of progress you would have made.
This is my 2 cents.
I hope it does help.
I wish you great success.
At 61 you’ve probably picked up some life skills that millions of young adults google “how do I do this” – be the guy whose tutorials appear first (videos, blogs, whatever) and you’ll be rolling in it.
Failing that; learn a hot tech topic like AI or Blockchain and just become a freelance consultant charging £1k/day.
Become an AI implementor for small to medium sized businesses. Learn how to handle common workflows and charge companies a setup plus residual to create and manage them.
Out of interest, by 3D visualisation do you mean like CGI’s etc?
So YouTube and Share life experience.
I’d be interested to hear how a professional navigated the world of marketing and CGI. And your failures, successes, what you enjoyed, what you hated. High points, low points. There’s definitely universal 3D methods to modelling well, and texturing well etc. so anything that spans that sort of territory is all stuff students and newbies could do with learning, the basics.
I have a design of a physical product that will sell well in UK with ability to translate and sell internationally.
I’ve got the manufacturer lined up and seed capital of ~£5k.
Requires a “base” in the UK to ship the (small) product to, and be the interface to the post service (you post each order).
I’m interested in a wise partner, you get 40% of the business and 60% of first years profits. You do almost all of the operational side of the business.
If interested DM me and let’s discuss Monday or Tuesday PM.
Ask yourself: what is the thing that you are most competent in and do the absolute best of all things, professionally ? That should be your new career.
What advice would you give to your 30 year old OP
There’s a 95% chance you’re current skill set + improved marketing/positioning/mindset will get you to your goals far faster than developing a new skill.
If you really wanna develop a new skillset, it should be marketing centric using your current business as its new client.
Best of luck
Consider leveraging your 3D skills in emerging tech markets.
Congrats on making such a big change. You have loads to offer so dont undersell yourself.
Maybe you could make a list of your strengths, weaknesses, experience, interests etc. and also the things you dont want to do. This could help you decide.
As mentioned a youtube channel is a great option but not one to rely on income from initally at least. If it went big you could make plenty on there.
120k per year in 18months is a lofty goal and I dont know what would provide that while being outside as well. Maybe a standup desk is an option!
You could also apply to jobs where you think your skills fit well. Start on lower money and then move up from there. Good luck
You might find Tim Ferriss’ explanation about how to overlay two skills to create a niche for yourself. These are two skills that are disparate but *might* be complementary, or you could use a skill you have and devote the next year to becoming very knowledgeable in the second. For learning fast you might consult Cal Newport’s books and podcast and/or Chris Baily’s book, the Productivity Project.
Good luck.
Bruh you are delusional.
500 a day is very doable. Everything else you said is a footnote to that.
I just want to say a big thank you to ALL of you for your suggestions!
What a different response I got on here (compared to another I posted this exact same message to).
Wow!
I appreciate your positivity like you’ll never know.
Thank you.
Start a YouTube/tiktok/ig Channel
Post on them often
Give free value, a lot of value. Make your name.
Have 1-1 seasons and coaching which is the most expensive one. Here you can charge a lot, But the important thing first. Private 1-1
Have a cheaper version where you can have more people. Mastermind.
And a entry level product. Online e-books/course etc.
Product should be low entry.
The a middle product which is higher
And then the last one
First product under 100$
Then the next product 500-2000$
Then your last product 5k plus
But you gotta give first, for a period of time. Sell something cheap. Under 100$
Learn the content game online.
Sponsors, donors etc.
Then you should be at atleast 10-30k a month.
This happens a lot online. But the key is to give a lot before you ask. Garyvee jab, jab, jab right hook. It just works.
