My goals to be a full time artist ^__^

Yeshh I want to be a full time freelance artist. I already experience so much different things in the creative industry, I made small animations, small games, dtp work (booooorrinnng) and I am a webdesigner. I made a allot of websites as a freelancer but I also worked for a boss doing this fulltime. I did all these things but never got back intro drawing since I was little. Since I did graphic school I barely had time for my own passion, drawing and so I gradually didn't even draw anymore and eventually only did digital media and loose the creativity for drawing.
I couldn't work full-time for the one thing I studied hard for, I have a low immune system and get headache allot which ends in being very tired. This means it burns me fast allot when forking full-time which means I get sick fast. I was depressed for a few years its already so difficult to even find a job, and now I couldn't even keep my job cause of my condition. So then I just started accepting the fact and found a part-time job as a delivery girl. But I rlly missed being creative.
That was the moment I could grab my change and starting drawing again like I used to do. Now the problem was it was years ago I ever made a drawing or put time into it. Okay I did doodled some ugly stuff and made storyboards for animation but that's it! Also I got a tablet but never used it O__O so I was new in digital drawing, I could never get used to it. Now a year has passed and I cant believe I growth so much and got used to the tablet and digital drawing :3 Okaay its not perfect I'm not a pro but still I'm very proud that I already made it so far. I tried to draw as much as I can when I had time and was healthy enough to stay behind the computer. I'm much happier since I draw and it gives me alot of joy! <3
But yeah I still cant do it full time. I have to work 5 days a week. Its not full-time so I still have time after work, but on busy days it tires me out and mostly don't have any energy left to draw. So my goal is to gradually earn more commissions to get a hold-on to that, when I notice I keep getting commission interest I can slowly drop being a delivery girl (it was never meant to be permanently anyway, as I just chose to do this work since I need the money)
My goals, lets be realistic. I do have ppl interest commission me, but its nowhere close to the goal I need to reach. First if I want to have more time drawing I need to drop my current job, but then I don't have any income. So this is the plan. I calculated and I need at least 5 full commissions a week to make it even for my current salary. But I barely get 5 a month. So that goal is a it too far for now.
First Goal: Get at least 5 commissions a month! to drop off ONE day of work. I now work Tuesday until Saturday. I can never stay up late on Friday cause I need to work on Saturday, not to mention i have less time with my bf. And can never do other things, since Saturday is a day when everybody is free and can do stuff, accept me >_>. Saturday is one of the longest day at work, so If I can at least drop that day that will mean reach 5 commission at least, stay up late on Friday :P more time for drawing on both Friday and Saturday! and more time to spend with my bf and other appointments.
Hope my story didn't bored you to death :P But srrsly I couldn't do it without u, so I want to thank u all for the support and kindnes u gave to me <3
If u wanna help me get my first goal pls spread the fa world I'm taking commissions <3 <3 <3
