🙈 I'm doing a crazy challenge, launching something new, and how to have multiple revenue streams as a creator

Hey there 👋

Hope you're good.

Before I get into my crazy challenge, I have a quick update for you.

Last night I launched a mastermind program.

So that solopreneurs like me and you can get honest feedback, advice and support from like minded people who mean business.

If you're serious about bootstrapping your business or monetizing your side hustle, make sure to check out the early bird, no brainer launch offer I created for you👇

Now, onto my crazy challenge 🙈

I'm doing 25 in 25.

Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

I've taken up a challenge to launch 25 products/services over the next 25 weeks.

The one you saw above, was the first of these 25.

I think this is the best way to accelerate my learning around building and selling products.

Most products have a simple path:

Idea > Build > Launch > Sell > Iterate > Keep selling

But there’s a risk of building something nobody wants, wasting time and effort into a dead project.

Also, I’ve felt that the most learning happens in the “Launch > Sell” phase in any product’s journey.

So I’m flipping the script. I’m bringing the learning phase as early as possible.

I’m going:

Idea > Launch > Sell > Build > Iterate > Keep selling 

I have a list of 33 ideas at this point, I don't know which one is going to work. So I might as well ask people to buy and see what happens.

Right? 

No? Do let me know what you think 😅

You can read my detailed reasoning on this page I created on my site 👇

🙋‍♂️1 Question Interviews

As a creator I want to have multiple streams of income. I try to build them everyday, but I needed a better framework to think about them.

So I asked someone who's a master at this - Daren Smith.

Question to Daren:

Daren's Answer:

Daren goes deep into the dream world analogy and gives a mind blowing answer. It's too long for email, but make sure to read it in this post 👇
