Making the most out of the business will do nothing but make life a lot easier and open up many opportunities that I wouldn't have working for a company, if things pick up that is. Of course eventually even if Minecraft is still "popular", my business and others doing the same thing will eventually fail, but often times the best opportunities aren't around forever. It's the 2nd top selling game in the world. Minecraft is not any ordinary popular game. I'm doing my best to keep my head up, but it is becoming increasingly difficult. Thank you for reading this and I would really appreciate any opinions or feedback. Will take several months and would spread my time out even more than it already is with other hats I wear in the business.

Teach myself how to code so I can create games in my industry and emerging ones without as much risk. Go to trade school, learn a trade and work locally. I also don't have the money to go to a good college for this.) Go back to college and learn how to code and get into game development (would probably require moving to another state, and I really don't want to leave my mother alone. If things don't go well, I might wind up wasting a chunk of my savings. If things go really well I might be able to at least retire from this with 50-100k saved, then I would have time to consider other options. Keep grinding in my industry and make the best of it until it's not feasible anymore. There are still companies out there making 25-100k+ a month in my industry but that sort of success is reserved for very few and they are the exceptions. I have no marketable talents outside of my niche industry in Minecraft and I live in a small town where there's not any other tech stuff going on. I really don't want to have to move away from town and leave my mother, because she doesn't have anyone else. I don't want to go back to college, and I don't want to get a normal job. I'm 24 now and I don't know what I'm going to do if things don't change majorly (for the better) this year. She doesn't need my financial support, but I do buy our groceries and keep the house/yard in shape. I live with my mother and take care of her because she's disabled. So failure really feels like it's knocking on my door right now if I don't have a major comeback this year, and I'm scared. I don't have anywhere near what I hoped to have saved at this point, not even 15k. Expenses have risen a lot in order to compete with other servers, as well as my time spent on the business. It's 2019 now and this year has been abysmal so far. I always knew it would be temporary, but envisioned myself having at least 100-250k saved by 24-25 so I could have time and the money to move into something else if I had to shut the business down. I started dealing with depression again with the realization that this would most likely not last as long as I'd hoped for (or make nearly as much as I would have wanted). It was still a living, but I began to worry about my future at this point. Our sales and player-count had fallen a lot. It showed me that I could actually provide some value to the world.įast forward to last year, I was 23. This period of time really changed my life, as before this, I was just working with my dad in construction and dealing with severe depression. I learned a lot about business, how to keep customers happy and how to work hard in general. Sales increased by 5x within the following 5 months and it was a blast. In late 2016, I took the plunge and quit my job to pursue it full-time. I started doing this for fun in 2013 (when I was 18) and about 2 years later it had turned into a pretty decent side income. I have found something I truly enjoy doing from this though, which is game design. There's server up-keep, branding, marketing, game design, development and of course a load of headaches. Running a server is a lot like running a small scale multiplayer video game. As the title says, I used to do pretty well from running Minecraft servers.
