I have moments where I feel really motivated to put out new content and really feel some energy towards creating my own business and space in this modern internet world. Then other times it all seems like too big a mountain to climb. Then I go to work and think there must be more than this. Is this how I want to spend the next 20 years? You hear in the media about modern workplaces and flexible hours and I am sure that for some they exist, but for me I'm not feeling it. There are so many things I want to try and on the weekend and even early in the week you feel like you can put in the time to build something significant, something than will pay the bills and still leave time to enjoy your life. You charge into the week, Monday, Tuesday getting things done, and then by Thursday you are so exhausted that all you can do is put some food on the table and get clothes ready for Friday. It's a thing of celebration to hear that my wife has an idea for dinner which means one box is ticked to get you through to the next weekend.
It can't be like this. Or at least it shouldn't. Usually it is the starting that is the most difficult so this week I am aiming to put in larger chunks of time into my various areas of personal study and business building. I found a business plan template on a government business site and have decided to work through it one step at a time. At the very beginning it has a space to add my business logo and slogan so I found a free site that I can use to make a logo with slogan and am on the task of creating. Not 100% happy with the slogan as yet but launch of my new Arcadia Glutton branding will have to wait a little longer. Confident it will be this week.
A multipart business utilising online resources is the goal and I am so keen to make it happen. I have a countdown on my phone which runs out at the end of March. Every step has so much to learn. Committing to the hours is probably the most fundamental step. There is probably an argument to say that I may be spreading myself too thinly but I am hoping that by spreading the income sources that I will not have to be a superstar in any one element and that the small pieces with make the whole.
What are the pieces? Todays thinking is Podcast, Video Blogging , Blogging, Drop shipping, and food production. Also, if I am unable to generate income from these areas I may also consider buying a food truck or cookbook writing as other options. Is it too much? Should I focus on one piece at a time?
I just have to make sure that procrastination isn't what undoes me. Every area needs to be putting out content weekly. A weekly podcast, a video each week, a blogpost or two, add an item to a store, add a food product each week. If I am going to pull this off, one thing is for sure I am going to be busy.
LEARN BY DOING.
