When all goes well—and it will—I should have a breakthrough near the end of this year. Here’s how it will go down:
- Now thru August: set a way to get the WordPress consultancy automated so all I have to work on is sales, content, marketing and product
- July thru December and beyond: freelance Internet marketing for a hot Hawaii startup. We’ll see about that
- September thru March: my surf site, which MUST be started by late summer/early fall in order for it to work.
This is an ambitious plan, but the idea is to leverage option one for self-made steady cash, plus to test the waters of actually selling something. The second part is also ambitious, because I fear it might suck me into a vortex. But if I can do something awesome, I’m all the better for it.
The third part is my passion—it’s entrepreneurial publishing with high brand profile, plus a chance to collaborate with many awesome and talented people with me the the producer and editor. If that can take off next year, then I’ll be very stoked.
All of this while striving to be an amazing dad, husband and citizen of the community.
Surfing comes last, and I’m okay with that. The past year did something to me where I don’t have that burning, insatiable desire to catch waves. Sure, it’s still a beautiful thrill, but I’m getting old. We’ll see.
I’m also hoping to open up some parts of my consciousness that have been closed for way too long. I’d best describe myself these days as over-cerebral, under creative, angry, unhealthy and blind. It’s not good, yet it’s almost necessary to pass through these lower realms in order to achieve any forms of higher vibration.
This winter is going to be extremely lively. I’m nervous, but can hardly wait.
