Today's the big day! Okay, not really although it is quite important. Today I am officially launching my home career!
Since my job ended on February 9th, I have really thought about what I want in life. I mean, I know what I want in life, but how early should I start really going for it, you know? Well, I made the decision to start really going after it today! I'll be in working Monday through Friday on several different things. I'm going to work on getting myself on a schedule as well. This is the schedule I'm going to attempt to follow everyday:
7:00AM - Alarm goes off
7:30AM - Morning workout
9:00AM - Get in the studio for some work on my art
11:00AM - Plan out social media posts for the day
1:00PM - Work on Finding The Boy Within
3:00PM - Write a submission piece for one different Cricket Media publication each day
5:00PM - Work day is over
7:30AM - Morning workout
9:00AM - Get in the studio for some work on my art
11:00AM - Plan out social media posts for the day
1:00PM - Work on Finding The Boy Within
3:00PM - Write a submission piece for one different Cricket Media publication each day
5:00PM - Work day is over
So essentially I'm trying to make sure I do a little bit of everything each day in order to maximize both my time and my income. The more art I make, the higher chance there is of it selling. If I write one submission piece for Cricket Media's magazines each day, there will be a better chance of them being accepted and me getting paid. If I set aside a certain amount of time each day to focus on regularly updating my social media sites, there's a better chance of my followers increasing. If I set aside time each day to work on my book, it will actually get finished. I am really hoping this works out because it could really be the start of something really good for me!
Right now I'm working on figuring out some problems surrounding why I keep losing weight to the point where I might need to see a nutritionist. There are some other things going on as well that may require me to see another specialist. Basically one of the reasons I would love for working from home to take off is because I would have the flexibility to keep up with all of my appointments. I spend more time as a non-critically ill patient at DHMC than anyone else I know, so it would be nice to be able to have that flexibility.
My dreams are taking over my brain, and I can't sit around and wonder "what if" anymore. I'm taking the reigns, starting at 7:30AM, and I'm starting my life. If shit hits the fan, I will suffer through being employed by someone (my wife thinks she may be able to get me a summer job if need be.) Maybe I'm crazy. Scratch that, I know I'm crazy, but anyone who starts a business has to be at least a little crazy, right? I mean, my Etsy shop could expand offline in the form of having a booth at the local Farmer's Market and even some other town Farmer's Markets. I'm hoping to have my book finished by June so I can bring some copies down to the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference for exposure. I have such an amazing feeling about this, so I need all the support I can get so that my dreams can really start coming true!
