Christopher's Intro

Hi all,

So the thing I am an entrepreneurial but well... have been thru a lot of lessons, mistakes and issues with the businesses I have built so far.

I started my first business in 2014 when I was starting the in-person word of mouth promotion of my classic car restoration shop. It officially started in 2015 and I brought on my first employee in 2016. Lets just say.... I made a lot of mistakes with it. However being a niche where there are very few shops doing this type of work - I have only spent $500 on business cards years ago and still get organic inquires.

The big mistakes was hiring a terrible employee... and I wish I got rid of him sooner as he cost a lot in losses and even stress after being let go.

In 2017 - I started my digital home design business, with the hope to sell stock plans to developers. It well, did not go as expected and I ended up folding it in 2019. $5k invested. only $500 earned.

2020 in the fall/ winter of that year - I launched my online training business which ties to legacy. I've built out a 8 session 22 hour live training which felt aligned to my purpose.

--------

Where I want to be is 1M/mo income...

I would be happy if in the next 30 days I could stabilize out at 10k USD/mo as a starting point.

Then work that to 100k/mo and gradually scale it to get to my end goal.

Just finding the path which plays into my strengths, my purpose and the way I want to live my life is what I am working thru presently. Speaking to another skooler on how to possibly pivot or re-evaluate my approach.

As my income has been inconsistent and sporadic - which only adds to the stress, frustration and annoyance when you want to do more and cannot due to that financial constraint.

-------

I cannot relocate due to my situation. I am my mom's primary care giver due to a hip injury and she is working on getting stronger but I need to be here. Plus I have 50+ chickens (4 different heritage breeds) which I am taking care of.

In a week or so - I am going to be able to sell 6 month old pure bred sex hens - which will go for decent money but I only have a small quantity of them, since hatches are 50/50 roos and hens.
