Strategical LP question for Leo and anyone else

[Paulus Amadeus]

Hi @Leo Gura and the rest. I would love some strategic advise on my situation!

 

I'm Paul, 26 years old, and I find myself at a bit of a crossroad. 

My life purpose is to help people become happier, by coaching them and by creating online courses. I'm currently looking at creating coaching and courses for stress, in my native language (Dutch)

Although I feel I'm definitely getting closer to my goal (have studied a bunch of marketing, sales, self-development etc), I also feel like I am still quiet a long way away. I had a programming job before, that I hated, but that paid pretty good money. I left the job months ago, I could do this because I had a bunch of money saved up. 

Now my money is running out and I need to find a new job. It seems to me that getting a job in sales would be most beneficial for my business and communication skills (an Eben Pagan idea), but because I have no experience, I can only seem to get pretty crappy sales jobs. Like some pretty hardcore cold calling at some agency. 

I'm looking at two options right now:

1. Get a low graid sales job for three days a week.

I will not make enough to make ends meet, but close to it. And still have some money reserves. Would free me up to make money in more creative ways, and would maybe teach me some valuable business skills. 

Disadvantages: maybe bad for my self-esteem (doing a ''low'' job), bad for my financial situation, and I won't be getting in contact with any interesting people

 

2. Get another Job programming

This would probably mean a lot more money, also a bit more career safety is build in, if the life purpose thing never works out. Would probably be full-time, or in the best case scenario 4 days a week. 

Disadvantages: Don't give a fuck about programming, not related to my life purpose in any meaningful way, would take up valuable time I could spent on LP, self-actualizing, or just enjoying life. 

@Leo Gura or anyone, any thoughts?

Some advise would be very much appreciated!
