I decided to finally take some action on something I've wanted to do for many years, but just never believed I could pull off. There's a chance it could bring some money in, and there's a chance that nothing tangible could come from it. Either way, there isn't a downside. I'm going to make a blog and start heavily posting on social media to promote my name and the blog.
The best case scenario is that over the next few years it really takes off, I make money with Instagram, affiliate links, ebooks, possibly workout programs (been writing these since I was 12), some coaching, and with other businesses I start with my audience, provide value for my readers (this will be my #1 priority), have something for future family members to know me from, and use the fame to aid in anything else I want to do. Worst case, I get used to writing for an audience, spending time on camera, become very knowledgeable, have something holding me accountable to the things I should be doing regardless, and develop perseverance.
My only rule is that no matter what, big loss or big win, something terribly embarrassing happens or I make an a$$ of myself on a blog post, I will not quit for the next 5 years. I'm going to college so if this doesn't work, and nothing else does either in the same time frame, then I'll just temporarily be where the masses are. Using my degree to work a job. It doesn't matter if anyone reads this, but I want to update this thread at least once a week to hold me accountable and to write my thoughts as I turn this into a business. So I'm gonna be around for awhile, and at minimum will post 260 more times. Although I started laying the groundwork yesterday, my first post outlining any progress will be posted in the afternoon.
