Hey everyone,
Hope you're doing great.
My name is Sean Bissell, and I'm a... FastlaneMillionaholic?
Well not really, even if that was a real thing
But according to Amazon Kindle I'm 54% through the book and I wanted to step in here and get started before my "drive" possibly wears off.
I'm not exactly new to "building a business" and at the same time, this book is opening my eyes to the fact that I should probably be thinking a bit bigger than I am currently.
Right now my most successful business venture is in a pretty small market.
We've been in business for just over 2 years, and it's bringing in a little more than 100k a year revenue.
About 40% of that is profit.
So far, we've engineered it where it's pretty darn hands off. I can spend just a few hours a week (or less) doing anything with it, and it just chugs along, and hopefully it keeps on doing that and only gets better, makes more money, and gets more hands-off. (I have one business partner, and 1 part time contract employee.)
But we're pretty maxed out right now in getting new customers "passively" through advertisements.
It seems if we want more customers, the law of diminishing returns is gonna kick in, and the extra revenue may not be worth it.
We're working on doing a monthly membership thing, and at the same time, that's a ton more work than we were expecting, and I'm not 100% convinced it's worth the effort based on the "sell for a big lump sum" idea.
Soooo, I'm trying to mentally switch gears to get into a bigger market, and "serve millions" instead of "tens of thousands."
That somehow is breaking my brain, because it seems the costs to getting into that type of market are much higher, and I'm not exactly sure what the heck to do honestly. And starting something new is sorta intimidating.
Product creation seems scary due to the high costs, I don't like physical location type stuff due to start up costs either. Internet is cool, and I like info products. But I can't seem to "think big" enough with that type of market yet.
Gotta get my brain conditioned better.
Gotta finish the book
Gotta get moving.
I'm 30 years young, and this book is really making me feel OOLLLDDD!
Some random stuff about me (if it even matters.)
I'm a big "nutrition junkie" and somehow can spend *way* too much time learning/debating nutritional topics. And I really enjoy cooking and making my own recipes. I also enjoy hitting the gym.
Photography and making videos are also something I really enjoy, but just for fun at this point, as those don't seem to be very "leverage-able" skills.
Here's my YouTube channel if you're interested in spying on me SeanBissell's channel - YouTube
So that's my official introduction.
Hope I can offer some advice, and inspiration, and hopefully get some from you guys as well
Happy Tuesday!
