Some how I feel that web design is not where your passion is. Why do you choose web design in the first place?
How do you intend to use web design to earn passive income? Web designer only earns if they have projects, if they stop working, the income stop.
hm.. I would suggest you sit down to think through, what is your core desire, and from there, it will be much easier to decide your goals and course of actions.
To discover YOUR Core Desires you must pay very close attention to the TRUE feelings you experience as you ask yourself two basic questions.
The first question gets you started (but the first answer people give is rarely accurate):
'What would I like to have that I don't currently have?'
The second question is the drill:
'If I had that what would that give me that I don't have?'
Keep asking yourself that after each answer until you hit pay dirt.
You will know you have drilled down to a Core Desire because it is always accompanied by an intense, sometimes poignant, though not always visible, emotional reaction.
Good Luck!
Cheers!
