Hey everyone, I got the idea for this journey thread from @GuitarManDan and his thread here; thanks for a great read, guitar man. 
First, some quick background. I am 34, had my first AdSense site at 19. At 22, I was already making a profit of 10k/m, and I lost track of myself; I got lazy and lost hunger, and I started traveling/partying.
My first affiliate site made 3k/m. My next got to 10,000/m profit. My biggest site was an Ecom site that got to $300,000 a month in revenue(10% profit) at its peak (3 years ago) and was then hit with an algo update. I can go on like this for five more projects, big successes, then algo hits killing them. I am the biggest example of what violating control looks like. When I got hit by google algo updates, I had three different businesses wiped out on a scale that would cause some people to kill themselves; luckily, I have a strong will and always know I can recover.
This year I decided to refocus myself completely. I have finally matured and realized I'm not getting any younger, and I don't want to go back to a 9-5.
After all the losses, I still have blogging side hustles, including seven sites and an e-commerce site that pays me $5k a month. In this journey, I'm going to start a B2B business I have been thinking about with massive scale possibility in a niche I found that covers all the CENTS. I will slowly grow the rest of my blogs by selling them and reinvesting in my business.
This year's goal is to get to $15000 a month by the end of December 31st, 2023. I will do this by focusing on my two businesses - My blogs to $9000 a month and my B2b Business to $6000 a month. Eventually, the b2b will scale and take over.
For the sake of brevity, I will only be updating the b2b business site process in detail. I will supply the blogging numbers just for milestone's sake.
I will cover detail of the tools I use, cold calling tactics, and more to help some people learn with me. I will update either every two weeks or every month.
