I have a 9-5 job that I adore. ADORE.
But I have plans for CreationDepot too (my side business… that I’ve had since 2008).
So I gave up planning on a typical year, which is why you’re getting this nugget of a podcast in what is nearly March instead of December like everyone else.
I don’t know about you all but December and even January is an absolute mad house around here. With Christmas and New Years, Winter Break, and kid activities (and vacations). So I gave up and said ya know what? We’ll do this when life’s not crazy instead of cramming it all in right now.
And that’s what I did. I think everyone should do this. I had so much more clarity this go around.
In this episode I talk about my income goals:
- My 9-5 job
- Selling Digital Products
- YouTube
- Webinars
- Patreon (!?)
- Websites/Web Clients (the actual freelance work)
- Selling crud I don’t need while also stop continuing to pay for things I don’t need
As always, thanks for the support! Couldn’t do it without you all!
