I want your thoughts on my idea

[devingisraving]

Hi everyone, I just started a while ago a blog on motivation with my friend and plan on expanding it on all social media, I am starting small and writing a lot but then plan to start a video blog with interviews and also start a business from this and start a brand, where I would then start selling merch from my brand. What do you think? I really plan on quitting the rat race and starting the unconventional life. So with my studies ( which I study hard to get a scholarship rather than work) I am working really hard all day with communities and branding and learning programming. Really hope everything will go as planned.

Hey Georges, let me see if I sort this out.

• You have a blog that you started that focuses on motivation.
• You want to expand into social channels and Vlogs (ie YouTube)
• You want to use this to begin building a brand (personal brand I assume? ie Tony Robbins)

Here's where things start to fall apart for me...

• You want this to become a business... but you haven't really defined what that business will look like in your vision.
• And you want to start selling merch for this brand.
• ...but you're studying and working with communities on branding and programming?

I'm having a hard time understanding what your end goal is. You talk about merch, a 'business' that isn't very defined, and ...programming?

What is it you want to do?

My recommendation is to take a minute and really work on that vision. What exactly is it that you want? Make that vision crystal clear before you start taking action.

Meh...

Everyone wants to be a motivator or coach these days. How will you be different?

BTW, I see you just created your account yesterday. Have you read the books this forum is based around?
