Here I am, ready to rumble.
First, a quick overview of who I am.
- Italian, but lived and traveled in various countries.
- Bilingual Ita/Eng with some knowledge of other European languages.
- Writer, mostly fiction.
- Digital artist, book cover designer.
- Early thirties.
- Currently living in Italy, in a lovely city with great opportunities in side hustles, lead gen, and more.
- I love learning stuff. Self-taught in a lot of topics.
Predicament:
-want to make money through my art + other enterprises and not by working for somebody else.
-want to have money for even bigger missions (for example, tackling environmental challenges).
Solution:
I've got a plan. It is geared towards growth and expansion from day One. It is agile, parts are interchangeable, but gives a general direction and will be modified according to regular assessments and necessity.
I'm being bold and setting the bar high. In the style of Cardone's 10x rule, if you will.
This year will be the baseline on which future endeavors will be built. Hence, the progress thread
In short:
-multiple income streams
-not all will adhere to the CENTS test, but I believe will serve a purpose in the grand scheme of things, or at least I think may be worthwhile attempting
-mostly revolving around art, but by approaching "art" from various angles to test various possible businesses
-no "build it and they will come" and no "sunk cost fallacy". Also, you are all welcome to shoot me in the foot if I end up action-faking.
-At least 6 non-fiction books published (self-publishing)
- At least 4 fiction books published
- Milwordy challenge completed (= write 1 million words in one year's time. It will run to February 2020, technically).
- At least 2 art businesses making stable income by end of year.
- 3D art skills acquired and tested through sales of own 3D art.
- Services business up and running with minimal stable income
- One blog with affiliate marketing in a niche I've already chosen making stable passive income
- In total, a full time earning level, plus savings and money to reinvest in businesses.
On a more personal level:
- Read 50 books
- Reach Japanese language level of roughly N3 (currently n5)
- Brush up my French
- Travel
- Exercise regularly ('cos I've got to build some muscle. Plus, mens sana in corpore sano.)
This is the overview. Next post I will talk more about the different goals and what I've done so far. I welcome all constructive criticism, questions, anything you want to throw at me. Hope the journey will help others, especially artists or people who deal with digital products and self publishing.
Thanks and to the next!
