Yes, I did crash a couple of times early on and picked up agency jobs for a short time. But that was jumping right back into a toxic environment. Both times.
My goal wasn't to build an empire. It was to build something stable where I could survive on my own terms. My methodology wasn't to use marketing agencies, recruiters or advertising gimmicks, or even Google's cloud to get ahead. It was to buck the system. Completely.
