Hey y'all,
Here is the start of my execution thread. I am going to update it every month or when I have a big update.
Where I came from:
Starting out with where I came from. I was born in raised in northern Illinois. My pops owns a landscaping business and hustles cars and other things. My mom is a fourth-grade teacher.
Growing up I always saw both my parents going through their own battles and tough times financially. I have learned a lot over the years about my dad's business, how he got started, and the mistakes he made (the largest one was putting almost all his money into a nursery and overextending himself with employees and equipment which took a turn in 08-09).
College was always the goal for my parents to send my brother (older) and me to. My brother is a pilot for Air Wisconsin and in a few years United (if nothing changes... good luck right?). I was always seen as the compassionate one, so a pediatrician or veterinarian was how my family saw me. But I had other plans as I had no desire to go to college. However, with some convincing and a lot of scholarship money, I ended up going to Marquette University in Wisconsin blinded by the slow lane and sidewalk. Currently, I am studying commercial real estate and finance, I am graduating this summer (a year early) trying to move on with my life. I do not see myself going with the commercial real estate or finance route in my career, not gonna be stuck in some job or business (like brokerage) that is a glorified job.
Where I am at now:
After reading TMF and Unscripted this past year (now I am reading the Great Rat Race Escape ), I have begun to take action in terms of providing my own income past a job or internship. I sell items on eBay through retail arbitrage. Not a ton of money, but better than sitting around waiting for someone else to pay me.
I have also found a business idea along the lines of real estate. I will divulge more information once I get the total soft proof. I have gotten some proof of need from an experienced real estate agent who said it would be great, but I know saying it is much different than paying for it.
I am targeting boutique real estate brokerage firms (the firms are my main source of revenue) and the clientele my product serves are new and current real estate agents.
I have built out a landing page website and I am finishing up an "About Us" section so visitors know what I intend to provide as a service.
Where I am headed:
My goal (thanks to the 1/5/10 Strategy) for this year is "I own a profitable business that is a proven productocracy."
My goal for this month is "I have released my MVP (prototype) with 1 paying client."
Right now I am finishing the website (Not a huge project full of the actual service, but a way to soft prove my idea). Then I will be spending $100-$250 on advertising it on FB and TikTok to see if any new and current real estate agents are interested in using this service.
When I receive this soft proof, I am then going to build out the website to basic use of what I need. Then I am going to begin calling, messaging, and reaching out to boutique brokerage firms to show how I can grow their firm.
I am going to be updating you all next on 3/10/2022!
Talk soon,
Wyatt
