Day 83 – Making pivots based on opportunity

Play episode

Hey Future Millionaires! Welcome back to our journey. It’s Day 83 and things are rolling along pretty much as usual. My day started late again, around 10:30 AM, and, yep, I was late for work – but just within the acceptable 10-minute window. I’ve always been a stickler for timing it just right; why arrive early if I can’t clock in?

The day had its minor frustrations. My motorcycle ran out of gas on the way to work – a momentary panic, but it was quickly resolved. Once at work, it was the usual grind, but I managed to squeeze in some efforts to advance my brand.

Pivoting and Planning in the Digital Space

I’ve been juggling a couple of YouTube channels and corresponding websites, and let me tell you, it’s quite a dance. The content from my main channel is moving to a second channel, while the main one takes on a more personal, vlog-style approach. Managing these along with their websites is a constant learning curve.

I’ve encountered a unique opportunity in my niche – a major online forum has closed down. This opens up the possibility of creating a new forum, which could drive significant traffic to my website. It’s all about seizing these opportunities, right?

Learning and Growing in the Tech World

My journey with website hosting and WordPress has been a self-taught adventure. From knowing nothing about domain names or web hosting back in 2018, I’ve come a long way. Sure, I’m not an expert, but I can navigate these waters fairly well now. Today, I had to tackle some technical issues with my website’s subdomain, but thankfully, HostGator’s support was there to help.

The Future Millionaire Domain Saga

In a fun turn of events, I tried to purchase the domain ‘futuremillionaire.com’ only to find out it costs a whopping $14,000! So, I got creative and bought a variation with three L’s. Always look for cost-effective solutions, folks!

I plan to use this new domain to create a static website that tracks my financial journey – debts, income streams, and all. Transparency is key, and I want you all to see the real picture of my journey, ups and downs included.

Community Engagement and Plans Ahead

I value the input from my community – shout out to Matteo, a loyal follower who’s been incredibly supportive. Your feedback matters, and it’s helping shape the direction of my content.

Looking ahead, my goals are clear: $5,000 a month in passive income, paying off debt, and moving to Bali. It’s about setting those goals and taking daily actions towards them. Speaking of which, the ‘Future Millionaire Planner’ is a fantastic tool for staying on track – it helps me organize my daily tasks and stay focused on my long-term objectives. Check it out here.

Embracing the Daily Grind

Every day brings its mix of challenges and wins. Whether it’s dealing with motorcycle maintenance, filming content, or just getting through a workday, it’s all part of the journey. I even had a surprising $100 tip at work today – a reminder of the unexpected joys in this grind.

Parting Thoughts

I want this journey to be an open book – a real, unfiltered glimpse into the life of someone striving towards financial freedom. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s authentic. So, stay tuned for Day 84, and let’s keep pushing towards our dreams together!
