Confused about niche selection despite 4+ years learning journey

Salam everyone 👋

Recently I watched the video in "Learn Smart Freelancing" about "How to select your niche / services", and it really made me think about my own journey. I realized that one of my biggest mistakes was switching fields again and again.

In 2021, I learned Graphic Designing (CorelDraw) for about 7 months.

In 2022, I shifted to Lead Generation and went to Bahawalpur where I also learned Upwork and helped manage a new startup account (bidding, client chat, profile handling).

After that I came back home due to family reasons, then I started learning Web Development (Frontend + Laravel). I worked around 6 months in a startup agency and worked on a transport website project as frontend developer, and also did some basic backend routing and on-page SEO.

Later I again went to Bahawalpur in 2024 to focus on Upwork with a friend. We opened a small office with 4–5 people. Work didn’t run well, but I learned a lot. Then I had to come back home again because of family situation.

After that I again worked with other one friend, helped him learn Lead Generation and Upwork, and his profile started growing, but my own account didn’t grow much.

In late 2025 I went again to learn GoHighLevel, completed the course, handled a friend’s profile, and his profile reached around $3k in 2 months, but my own account is still struggling even after using many connects.

Now I joined this school community, learning daily, watching Mental Mastery + Freelancing lectures, and trying to stay consistent.

Honestly, I feel I have experience, but still not getting stable results.

Sometimes I think the main problem is niche selection and lack of focus.

I would really appreciate advice from seniors:

Should I stick to one skill now (like GHL / Lead Gen / Upwork bidding), or choose something new and start fresh?

Trying hard, InshaAllah this year I want to start proper earning. 💪
