Yo,
Getting back in the game has never been more exciting to me now!! I found my motivations, I found this thread, I have some solid ideas of how I will make it happen. Now I have to put the pressure on myself. I've probably read almost every post on here! lol. I'm starting by committing to my Fastlane Family that I will make this happen. I will outline how I will do it it journal style. I know I can do it!! I've done it before and now is the time!! My kids have been great sports throughout the whole process of me losing everything being that they have had abundance most of their life. I swear this is the last Christmas they get small shit.
Would love your suggestions.
The fire is BACK! This time next year I'll be back on top of the hill. I know it sounds crazy but I know I can do it.
The Goal: 1.2 million personal income
Date: December 3rd 2010
Plan: Clothing, music, real estate
Clothing:
Put together an undeniable line and use the internet as my vehicle, leveraging my relationships with Major chain stores, the NBA, NFL and Music community to ramp up the brand faster.
Real Estate:
Development. Buy land build custom homes/commercial property and sell. One of my good friends is a partner in a design & build firm. We will go in on this together.
Music:
This is the hub of the world and I love it and I have too many contacts in the industry not to leverage it. I know people still making money in this economy. I will partner with a small label. The goal would be to get a label deal with a big distributor.
I chose these three because of the time and income stream. RE is 3 to 6 month checks (sometimes more), Clothing is 1 to 60 day checks and music is 1 to 90 day checks. And the time factor. I can spend plenty of time on all three. Clothing: after designing there is a lot of WAIT time. RE investment is similar besides daily researching, meeting, checking up on construction, going to the city and dealing with their bullshit bureaucratic permitting system. Music is the least lucrative of the 3 now but biggest marketing tool in the world and the most time consuming. But I plan on dedicating 5 hours a day on RE/Clothing and about 3 hrs a day on music whether it's reading, working, building, researching & meeting.
My new strategy is to be home by 8:30pm everyday. Thats enough time to spend with my family before everybody goes to bed. Before I was midnight everynight. So this will be a slight challenge. So I will have to wake up earlier, like 5:30 to get a jump start on my day. F*ck sleeping. I'll sleep on vacation or when I'm dead.
So if I get out the house by 6:30 that gives me 13hrs of work time a day.
Job or NO JOB!
I got the job offer as a Supervisor for the City where I live to process the city's SHIT and PISS! It paid decent (90k/yr) And right when i was about to take it ( to stop the financial bleeding), I got some unexpected money in to last me 3 mo. Thats all I need!! That was my sign. It's time.
GO HARD.
This is gonna happen.
The highest respect,
C
