🤔 Brief reflection

Today I became acutely aware of my serious lack of professionalism.

What I felt was particularly seriously lacking today were issues related to price setting, negotiation, and clarification of requirements.

In other words, it is communication ability.

I had no idea how much the work I was doing would be valued in the industry if it took the form of ‘outsourcing’.

I had never gotten a job or worked as a freelancer, and I didn’t even think about looking for it, so I had no idea how to calculate the appropriate amount depending on the development work and requirements.

That’s why the issue related to money recently broke out. (No matter how much I started with good intentions, the moment the format and perception changed to ‘outsourcing’, I was in possession of a time bomb.)

In other words, until now, I was just a child who liked development, not a businessman.

However, today’s free career counseling thankfully provided me with a fairly clear baseline, and thanks to that, I started to get some sense of direction. (Thank you again.)

As an aside, the fact that there are scammers out there who scam people off for thousands of dollars even for tasks that seem to be very easy to complete in a day, shocked me again. (Of course, this may be a special case…)

The idea that it would be a good idea to develop expertise and cover living expenses through outsourcing began to grow. Of course, it is outsourcing as a means of ‘covering living expenses’, and the main project should be my project.

In any case, the infrastructure to cover living expenses needs to be established starting from February next year, and that will most likely not lead to employment… so I have no choice but to run like crazy until February.

Okay. Let’s wrap up the diary roughly and run. I have already organized my thoughts enough.

The morning sun rose.
