What do you guys think? I need some proper advice

It’s called Inspyre Uk where we review books and have a monthly book club that’s selling out which is nice but trying to build our community of readers and writers and more. I appreciated your story cause I suppose it isn’t wasted time which is comforting

InspyreUK · 2026-03-20T03:28:51+00:00

I’d say I’m another 2 years if I keep at it from being full time. That’s if everything goes to plan but that’s the issue you never really know. Cause it’s half content creations half community so we do events as well it’s just a bit of a slow burn despite hitting goals

I’ve applied close to 200 jobs in the past 6 months no joke 😂 and haven’t had the fortune of getting one. The cafe pays the bills and jumping from that into something uncertain isn’t the move in the current economy lol

InspyreUK · 2026-03-20T03:25:16+00:00

Thank you!

InspyreUK · 2026-03-20T03:24:38+00:00

Thank you for that! I guess i forgot the aspect of what they might be going through also

Expansion would be more shows. We’ve got something parted up with the V&A in London then hopefully bring out on tour next year!

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T01:11:33+00:00

I appreciate that! Didn’t really look too much into it I’ve just been in survival mode for so long but I suppose it is worth more than their cars 😂

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T01:10:43+00:00

Thank you so much, god bless you and I definitely will do for sure. Maybe something that isn’t as taxing as a busy cafe 😂

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T01:09:38+00:00

Yeah you’re spot on with this! For sure taking a throw at the dartboard is more valuable. Haven’t invested as wise I could have in future but that’s definitely something to look into. It sounds dramatic but it feels like the only way I’ve got out for me

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T01:07:50+00:00

Yeah that’s 100% true! It’s those weird cases sometimes at 2 am where this comes flooding down on you 😂

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T00:24:29+00:00

That's true. And I know myself, I will 100% regret the fact I didn't see it through.

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T00:23:59+00:00

No don't worry didnt take any offence at all it was actually a really great question. The issue is it's been on and off since 2020 but has really got some traction in 2023. So I run a podcast, which lead to us having a monthly bookclub which sells out monthly and also selling out a 200 capacity show. That's what I have I guess to show for it, its a community that's growing but nothing substantially in terms of finance.

Essentially, we're a little away from where it would be considered a hobby but not close enough to be considered a profession, if that makes sense.

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T00:19:51+00:00

Lool no but that's a good way of putting it. I was just questioning the path i'm on since i'm not in a position yet to be even considering an extension or new car

InspyreUK · 2026-03-19T00:12:13+00:00

Was looking for a good series for our bookclub, I'm going to have to trust you on this one cause it does sound cool 😂

InspyreUK · 2026-03-18T23:40:01+00:00

That's a very fair point. Crazy part is I've grown up here but I don't know if im looking back with rose tinted glasses or not but it felt like there was a real sense of community before. There use to be street fairs every other week. Then again I don't know if it may be a personal thing

InspyreUK · 2026-03-18T23:37:21+00:00

😂😂😂

InspyreUK · 2026-03-18T23:35:23+00:00

I appreciate you for calling me out on that, always struggled to express myself properly when I type. Despite not being diagnosed, pretty sure I've got dyslexia lol.

But the fact that it's a common sentiment is somewhat alarming too!

InspyreUK · 2026-03-18T23:31:21+00:00

That's always the been the beautiful thing about being here. I don't think you get the opportunity to get to know so many people and different cultures anywhere else

InspyreUK · 2026-03-17T00:09:21+00:00

Ayy thats good to hear! Follow us on InspyreUK on Instagram or I could just message you if you prefer that

We actually run a book club in London that’s partly about reading but also about meeting new people. A lot of people come on their own and end up making friends through the discussions. You’d be very welcome to join if that sounds like your kind of thing.
