VIDEOS

I threw down the gauntlet publicly in this video. 90 days, December 17th, to accomplish these goals:

  1. Get to 1000 subscribers on YouTube
  2. Make $1000 in digital product sales
  3. Host my first in-person tech leadership seminar
  4. Release 5 digital guides
  5. Book a week long vacation
  6. Release four Notion templates

I'm currently seven days into the 90 day period and a few of these goals are taking off. I had 801 subscribers on YouTube last week, now I have 823. ~2.2 subscribers a day would get me to my goal so just above the projection line on this one. I already have two digital guides written and just need to launch/publicize them. In addition, it seems like I already have some good dates in mind for vacation due to some conference related travel so I can book my vacation as soon as I start my new job next week.

I have been slacking on Notion templates.

I have made $7 in sales so far which I'm pretty happy about - despite being far below linear projections, I assumed this would lag behind other metrics.

I moved on Sunday so I'm still getting a lay of the land but I anticipate finding a good location for the leadership seminar very soon.

Most importantly I am enjoying the pursuit of these goals. Working on videos has been taking up a good chunk of my nights and weekends but I feel in a good groove with it and am fortified when I see how much the channel is taking off.

I still don't know what exacly my niche is. I started making videos on technical leadership but maybe this will mutate over time. I'm largely following my nose right now and holding off on a fuller accounting of "what works" at the end of the 90 day period when I'll do a deep dive on all analytics to suss out what's useful and what's best left behind.
