I've read The Millionare Fastlane the second time this week and it has opened my mind to new possibilities.
A little background about me, I'm Tony, 21 and living in Australia. I'm ambitious and had started a lot of small businesses from home like cooking Thai food and delivering it during covid while skipping class. I've always been a hustler and finding ways to make money.
A year ago, I had previously worked in a creative agency and eventually became a director in film. The owner of the agency always talked about her past business experiences and how she made millions. She was a great talker and often hinted the business partnership for me in the future. In saying so, finance wasn't always great and sometime she would owe me 3 months worth of pay which was $350 a week. The more I worked there, the more I slowly realised that it was all talk. Don't get me wrong, I learnt some great lessons about business and how the creative industry works.
A week ago, I decided to quit my job after a year which wasn't as easy as it sounds and it was also very messy because I had troubles getting my camera equipment back which showed me her true colours. I eventually got all my equipment back but not all the money I was owed. I didn't care, I felt powerful similar to MJ in the book when he moved to Phoenix.
I planed to start my own video production business. I remembered hearing about MJ's book when I was around 17 years old and decided to read it while doing DoorDash to make ends meet as I do live alone and pay rent. After reading the book, I thought about the law of affection and magnitude.
I came up with the idea of creating a 2 sided marketplace for the creative industry because I know some of the pain points for both the creatives and clients in most creative sectors such as design, video, photo, animation, web design and development and so fourth.
Similar to Airtasker & Upwork, the difference is targeting specific needs of the creative industries to ensure an easier process between clients and creatives. Some of the pain points that will be solved are secure payment options, creative briefs, updates throughout the projects, showcasing the creatives in the best way and soo fourth.
In this day and age, it's all about the creatives. Whether it's a business, artist, weddings, corporations, this platform is designed to connect clients to a pool of quality creatives while providing the necessary tools to ensure quality and satisfaction.
Simultaneously, creative are looking for ways to acquire more clients whether it's a freelancer just starting out or established agencies, the platform can help with acquiring new clients while providing secure payments, project guidelines and checklists to ensure the project runs smoothly.
My current plan is to learn coding and create a website that connects video creatives to clients first, to test out the market with little investments. Once it gains traction, I plan to sell ad space to agencies. Then I'll start looking into investments to create the app with more creative sectors within. I currently have film gear and I plan to shoot some marketing videos in a very unorthodox and entertaining way and post them on social media.
I would love to get some of your feedbacks on this two sided marketplace. Anything that you think might help me in executing this plan, and any problems you think I might run into.
