Hi all

I've decided to take stock of what I'm good at and what I need to improve on. I decided that I've been involved in the broad spectrum of web for so many years, and spend so much time on the computer that I SHOULD be able to earn some money from IM.

In terms of plus points:
- I am a web designer. I design front-end and build in valid HTML/CSS markup
- I have a deep understanding of SEO, ranking client sites highly for strong keywords
- I love to write and am not bad at it either.
- I'm an early adopter of new tech

now onto the stuff I don't like to admit:
- I lack focus, hopping from one idea to the next
- I am spontaneous. as soon as I have an idea, I don't research it, and just do it. Not good when...
- I lack patience. If something doesn't happen in literally WEEKS, I'm gone.

It's clear that my negative qualities outweigh my positive ones. If I could just "cure" myself of the bad stuff, and harness the good stuff, I think I could make a killing.

Just for the record I am self-employed, and doing quite well too. But I don't really want to work flat out for clients, I want to create 2/3 websites that I am passionate about, deliver true value, and pay for themselves in their own right.

So that's my self-analysis. Feel free to offer advice or tear me apart! Thanks for reading.

    Work flat out for clients just for the money. When you have enough retire and do stuff that you are passionate and deliver true value.
