Hello all,
I think it's about time I start a progress thread of my own. Hopefully it will help somebody
I've been on the forum for roughly a month and I would like to preface all this by saying that this place is filled with great info, major value and is generally a haven of like-minded people. Thank you so much to everybody who provides time, insights, knowledge and more to the community. You guys are great motivation, great fun, and great inspiration.
Now onto the progress!
The aim of this thread will be to record and provide a base for my endeavors in business.
I posted on the "By the 2019 Summit I will" thread and here are the milestones I posted:
- Publish at least 3 books, of which at least 2 of fiction;
-create at least 100 products;
- Establish and expand the brand through the above books + products, constant content, podcast and/or video (with at least 10 "episodes" by next February), and 1 course for sale.
-Get at least 15 clients for my services
-Translate and publish one book
I had some more personal objectives that may come into play in a few months - if they were to become relevant (experience or money wise), I will adjust the thread accordingly.
So why all this?
-I want to become fully independent (ie not having to rely on external jobs for sustenance) + allow my partner to retire early;
-provide as much value as possible in fields I care about / I may help with
-set up a system (or "career") that will allow to scale that value and generate bigger impacts as time goes on.
Where I am right now:
-first non fiction book draft 1 complete. This week is cover making, next week is editing.
-website is up, needs a few adjustments and more content.
-I've created 10 products (these are all digital <- extremely scalable and "passive" up to a point). This is on top of others I already had. I've had a few sales, but nothing major.
-One client done
-brainstorming for the course has already begun, plus timelines for book releases, etc already drafted.
Next steps to be done:
-more products + new shop (built on existing marketplace. I'm all about using what's already there for ease and speed, at least at this stage), all tied to brand
-Cover design and editing on non-fiction book
-brainstorm + prep for Fiction book
-blog posts and content (10 x week)
-adjust website with final touches
-commence proper interaction on social media and other channels to start providing some value
As you can see I am not starting from zero exactly, but I have more focus and a plan that is cohesive for a brand which I am already starting to implement.
That's it really - I am available to answer any questions you guys may have but didn't want to bore anyone. Always open to feedback!
Thanks for reading and for having me,
B.
