I don' t know about you, your age, your formation or your experience, but just know, and please take my words for sure:
Skills are not enough to open these doors !...
You may be the most talentuous guy in what you do, but as long as you haven't gone a long way (like accepting minor jobs with humility, for exemple), continuing to try expending your relations and cultivate your curiosity, you may be not able to see the light... That's life.
But I don't know you. I just allow myself to speak these words because you look like you need more trust in yourself (first) and your work.
... (even for free).
Bad idea.
... Very bad idea.
