HEY everyone,
Its been a while since i wanted to write my own execution thread, as they have my main source of motivation since the start of my "entrepreneurial journey".
Thank you, fastlane members
But first off, who am I?
I am an 18 years old guy living in Belgium. I study Computer Science at Uni and have been in the self-improvement community for almost two years.
And, concretely, what did I do???
1. Formation
I followed @Fox thread and learned web design. I felt an aspiration to it, and he put it in such an easy way that I was blown up. He removed the uncertainty I had.
Like hell yeah, I can do that!
=>> I followed the courses, and did my own "business" website.
2. First client
This took me months, and I am ashamed to admit it. The hardest was to assemble the power to act. Once you do that it gets SO MUCH easier.
I contacted my local athletics club where I was a member to discuss their website, which was outdated and utterly ugly.
There was no need to convince them: they had a need, i had the solution and they knew they could trust me.
I wanted to do it for free as to get experience, but they paid me
• 400€ for the website
• 300€/year maintainance
• 200€/year website hosting
I used these founds to invest in softwares and services.
3. Official launch
This is the step I am in now, and here is what I need to do:
• succeed at the management exam (required to become self-employed)
• enroll myself administrally
• finish my first project, get feedback and hopefully some referrals
Then there are other tasks such as analysing the competition, having an outreach strategy but thats gonna come soon.
Issues
My main issue is speed, and time management. When i look back i see i could have done all this in a month or two. But it took me many more.
I would love to hear your advices! I will keep updating this thread every sunday.
