Challenges at hand, first & foremost MONEY, invite me to explore, reach new depths.
Initially, it may not be the most pleasant sensation, but it’s essential.
I thrive when I go beyond.
I want money in my bank.
I will get it done.
Even if it means going to real uncomfortable places, winning over three chariots of inner saboteurs.
I know I’m being tried to stop from within.
Whichever part of me is doing this, listen up kid:
There’s no shame in earning, even if you say otherwise.
There’s nothing you can do to stop me.
I’m the new boss in town.
My name is Dolla Bart.
Making money is art, and working is art, and good business is the best art
-Andy Warhol
🧠On my mind
🧠Tapping into all strengths
I write, sure.
But I’m also a business guy, someone who’s spent a decade making money, talking money, living money.
It’s time to embody all of me.
🧠Focusing on one day / Baker style
I was the happiest, most natural & fulfilled doing the daily drills.
I’m ready to give it another chance.
Show up every day.
Improve the process.
Get better and better quality ingredients.
Experiment with recipes.
Get hands dirty.
Do, don’t think.
Bake, bake, bake!
Win every day & everything will fall into place.
🧠Essence of journals? Doing it for myself
I don’t need to turn my journals into people-pleasers, that’s not their essence.
Get them to please me, that’s enough.
If I want to share, share.
Again no pressure.
Do it for myself!
👷 Work
Here’s the current plan:
Finish up last week’s journals & possibly share (also today’s)
Starting tomorrow, I’m launching at least one money shot daily. All my work time is dedicated to make it happen
Daily creating is also happening, but it’s not the thing I will obsess about nor spend too much time on.
Actually, I’m thinking about only writing in the mornings, before my crew is awake, and using the remaining time strictly for money-making.
Here’s a catch / another point of view:
What if it’s the daily creating that’s the engine for making money?
How could it feel to give myself time to create the best fucking pieces & promote them?
Wouldn’t it be a better AND more natural way than trying to hustle out a forced way?
If I were a free man & fully believed in my ability, would I really be thinking about other options than :
simply creating the best of my own thing
sharing it freely & broadly
inviting people to support this journey?
Isn’t it that option that I really crave, the point where my emotions & brain align?
Yes it’s fucking scary.
Yes it might not work.
Yes the backup / alternative options have their allure.
But…Deep down I know it’s possible.
Am I ready to give myself a try?
Let’s explore yet another perspective, path between.
Would it be possible to structure my day / process so that both parts of me get to eat?
create, share, monetize
throw strictly money shots, experiments
Could I do both? how?
Create in the morning
Shot during the day
Share in the evening
Possible?
Enough to give it a try.
PS. Document the work/shot process
accountability
learning
peace of mind
PS2. De-attach from likes & dislikes, thoughts & do what works.
