Hey everybody! I decided to start a personal business diary. I’m entrepreneur, based in NY City. COMPLETE, UNCUT, NO BS story. I will post at least twice every single week. To keep you updated, and to keep myself accountable as well. Every 2 weeks I will put out income reports, with how and how many clients I closed and what I built.

The MOST I’ve made per month was $6k (once). The least I’ve made was 300$. Still, gotta pay the rent. NYC is NYC.

POINT B (WHERE I’M HEADING): GOAL

1) to get to $10k per month net income in my business(/es), preferably recurring. BY AUGUST 31st, 2015. (minimal)
2) Have at least $10k-15k in my savings account by AUGUST 31st, 2015.
3) Create systems, processes and assets so that my business would be worth something and actually will be sellable

POINT A (WHERE I’M AT):

I currently have 3 projects, i’m working on. I don’t have a job, my income comes from my projects

1st: Internet Marketing consulting, for Russian Market - bringing in anywhere from $400 to $1.5k per month . Trying to get off it, because Russian economy is not the best. And frankly, i’m more attracted to english speaking market.

2nd: Legal Consulting: On and Off, very seasonal and inconsistent. when it is season, I usually make 2 to 6k per month. Now working on a big launch in the space, with average check of $2000. Will describe it in details. Btw this is a niche where I made 6k in one month.

3rd: Internet Marketing Consulting in English Speaking Market - 0$ per month. (Just starting). It’s good market to work with, so I’m building it up from ground zero. Now building a website and shooting videos. I will post it as soon as it will be ready.

My main problem currently is lack of discipline and inconsistency. What I tend to do is I close 1500$ client, then don’t anything for a month. Spend all the money and start all over again. No way in hell I’ll be millionaire by 26 doing that.

I will post updates on every single project. Every week I will post my goals for upcoming week and what had been achieved and what not.

HERE WE GO!
