Step 1 - My past, present and future
So you're interested in signing up? Let me show you what you'll get.
Quick summary: I am trying to build sustainable businesses in 3 years, by the time I am 30. The goal is to hit $250,000/year or $21,000/month from all my business ventures combined.
Okay, let’s fricken do this!!!!! But wait, who I am you’re probably asking, right?
No worries, I get it - I would be wondering the same thing if I heard someone was claiming to make a six-figure business in under 3 years. But hey, that’s me. And by no means will this work - but I am planning on it working and want you to be apart of the journey with me.
What I have done - The Past
My name is Casey, I am a software developer full time currently and I have had a passion for online businesses now for a long time. And yes, I have failed at many, done okay with some and some are still in progress.
My Journey
E-com dropshipping store - yeah this failed, and it failed hard. I started a girl’s clothing store and didn’t have near enough marketing, nor did I know enough at the time, to sustain a business like that. I dropped probably 1-2k into Ads and apps for my Shopify store and that was finished basically before it started.
Digital Products - I’ve created multiple PDF/Books that I have sold online. These have done alright, but nothing to write home about and lost interest in the business as it was super sustainable with the products that I made, but I would consider this my first small win. And seeing someone buy your product for the first time is something else.
Online Course - I created a developer course for those who wanted to learn how to program. This did good too, but couldn’t quick get the traction I needed and stopped this business as well.
***I promise this is going somewhere***
Freelancing - I created a small web design/development studio where I live and currently had some clients and this is one of my best businesses. It generates monthly revenue for me and I love the business aspect of it. Though I can’t stop working because it doesn’t make that much money yet - I hope this is one of the businesses that allows me to get to closer to that 250,000k.
My Present - What I am Doing Today
Currently, my main job is my software development job. I create enterprise solutions for companies and do all the coding. Its fun, I enjoy it and the co-workers are amazing, but I truly love running a business and freedom is something I value very heavily and something I want.
I also have my side hustle of building websites for local companies. This is a good business for me and I enjoy it but really need to be held honest and really start to grow it. But before I started to grow the business, I thought of this great idea - of taking you all along for the ride.
So that’s where I am now. A software dev with a plan of creating income that can allow me to have the one true thing I want - complete freedom and that is the main reason I am doing this, along with helping out all my subs along the way.
The Future
First, let’s get the goal set so that everyone’s on the same page.
My goal: Create a $250,000/year or $21,000/month business in 3 year (until 2023).
Currently, I am 27 and I do like nice round numbers, so 30 sounds just right and 3 years seems like a reasonable time-frame to achieve this.
Not too short, and not too long.
However, you may have questions already:
Why such a specific number? Did you make some calculations?
There are a couple of reasons for 300k.
I don’t want an easy goal. 250k/year is basically 4 times more than I made in 2019, which makes this a tough goal, but not too high like a billion dollars which would be too far fetched. Keeping it real.
I love nice numbers and $250,000 is a quarter million. Easier for people to relate.
I feel that this is the amount that will set me up for the rest of my life. Earning this much continuously will provide for my family (all of it), will secure the future for my future children, no worries about the pension and I will be able to enjoy life to its fullest.
Pretty simple, eh?
I am not looking to be a millionaire or a billionaire. Not to say that I am not going to try, but anything beyond 250k is a bonus in my head. And everybody loves bonuses, don’t they? 😉
I want to add 3 more income sources/business to my list during those 4 years:
Affiliate marketing website (authority website)
A blog (not sure the topic/niche yet)
Lead Generation Sites - I plan to sell leads to local businesses (or even the entire site)
Digital Product - Maybe be a step by step guide how to create Lead Gen Site (kill 2 birds with 1 stone mentality)
Podcast (not sure if I will do this or not - but definitely on my radar)
The END
