Hi Jase!
I often feel the same!!
I hope it's allowed here - I came across Barbara Sher's book 'Wishcraft' online (it's free in pdf format, just Google it). Really helpful advice.
She has other books for people with many interests, like 'Refuse to Choose' - for what she calls 'scanners' - people 'interested in too many things or 'Renaissance People' - but I haven't read that one yet. There's also a helpful forum.
Basically, the advice is to write down EVERYTHING you want to do, and then if you want to do it all come up with a timeline/ideas when you want to do it, and how - she gives examples of people pursuing 2 or more things at the same time (you could be a teacher doing art and travelling in spare time/the holidays), or changing careers one after another... (switching 'jobs' or going to self-employed in a course of years - a teacher until you earn some money, then go and do Art/Music for a couple of years/months...?; are there any things you'd be willing to do when retired from work or just for a hobby/sideline/in holidays/spare time?)
First write down the wish, including the 'touchstone' (what you really want to accomplish=helping people in your case, but then there can be separate touchstones for your wishes) and then the obstacles, and brainstorm both on the wish and on the obstacles - alone and with others.
Also, try to come up with a plan that gives you the most of what you really really want the quickest way. And get a success team - support group of people cheering for you and giving ideas gladly (on- or offline).
Who is your role model? Can you learn and do what that person did? (Maybe there are several.) Any people already doing what you wish to do to ask?
You can get a 'good enough' job to help finance your other interests initially, or even volunteer/go semi-pro at other things, or try to earn money with several things (mainly 1 or 2, the others on the backburner or...?)
How old are you, any savings to help you off? (Just ideas to contemplate.)
You could focus on getting money first (what would you be willing to do, DAILY, in REAL LIFE? - includes research, there are many books and online sites to learn from), and explore other things at the same time/later.
Aside from that, is there a way you can start getting passive income - with Art etc? (That I picked up in Kiyosaki's books;)
Art and Music may be quite difficult fields to 'break into', but it's possible. Are you willing to do the work - creating art/music, marketing...?
I did some teaching, took some time off for research and creating (writing a book, doing music etc) and well, it's not as easy as one would think!
Some writers even produced better work or could manage their time more effectively while also teaching! But they had the discipline to eg set aside 1 hour daily for writing
Is there any way to spend less money on NLP courses that could later be combined so you could get a certificate? (Something like that was available in my country.) I assume you've already been on NLP courses and read books available in your library - or not? Any experiences with teaching/training people - even teaching kids to tie shoelaces?
I read NLP books on teaching languages while training to be a teacher of English and German, knowing NLP and other learning techniques helped me and my students achieve better results. (Teaching English and/or NLP abroad - another possibility to travel. But do research thoroughly first. It's not all rosy 'out there' either.)
Other things to consider: What is the expected income of a NLP trainer? How long does it take for them to normally 'get their money back'?
How many are there in your area/are you willing to relocate? Do they find work easily - is there room for others? (Basic market research.)
Hope any of this helped at all, and that I didn't overwhelm you with too much info-? (You can pm me if you have further questions. And by all means read the book, or parts of it.)
Love, and good luck on your path!
Andreya
