If you haven’t read one of my monthly reports before, I include things such as traffic stats, subscriber growth, updates with projects I’m involved in, and sometimes even personal updates as well.
I haven’t posted a monthly report since March 28th. I was head down into preparing for and then launching the ForeverJobless podcast, so decided to hold off on reports until I got the podcast rolling.
As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, I’ve thought about launching a podcast for a while.
That day is here.
A few weeks ago I wrote a post about my new startup.
I got a number of emails asking questions about the post, so I thought I’d do a follow up on the subject to help bring more clarity to an issue a lot of businesses have, even though many don’t even know they have it.
Unless you’re making your desired hourly rate at full capacity (assuming you aren’t trying to live The 4-Hour Workweek), you have bottlenecks that have to be filled.
I recently became a partner with a start-up design agency as an investor/advisor.
The guys I partnered with are smart. They make incredible website designs that convert substantially better than other designers. However, they’re young, and inexperienced in business. They’re both 22 years old, with lots of great ideas, but struggle to accomplish big goals because of the way they work.
They were struggling to bring in very much revenue, so I dug into the business to figure out why they weren’t making any money.
Probably not.
It’s not that goal setting doesn’t work, you just suck at it. Don’t worry… I did too.
Are you worried you run the risk of the same thing happening again in 2014?
I know I was, so I put together a solution for myself. I decided to make it public.
I launched a new business today:
A number of people send me emails asking more about my business ventures. What am I up to, how do I pick what businesses to start, and when am I going to blog about it.
I decided I’d give an inside look today.
I remember when I was nearing my graduation from college. I was 22 years old. Other than partying, all anyone was thinking about was what the heck they were going to do with their lives.
“What should I do next?”
“Should I get this job? Should I get that job? Should I get any job? Should I start my own business? Should I get my MBA?”
They’d ask friends, parents, professors, and anyone else they viewed as someone who might have the answer for them, hoping they could pass down some nugget of wisdom that would make everything clear for them. They wanted to be successful. They wanted to make a lot of money.
There was one problem: they were asking the wrong people.
Like I mentioned last month, I decided to do monthly update reports since people seemed to have an interest in them. It’s a bit different than my normal content, but I try to make sure the update posts have value in them past just showing the blog stats/growth update. Here are a few topics covered in this post:
