Workpost 7: New AI Consulting Plan

Byjack

Okok. After working on my AI Consulting Plan for a few days, something is really fucking clear to me (excuse my French).

I need more than 10 days to make a name for myself. I am going to need 3 months. Videos are the absolute best way to make a name for myself. However, videos take absolutely forever to create.

So let us give us enough time to make them.

Goal: Be known, give preview of consulting

UNIT ONE (1 month): Build a crowd who will engage with anything I put out

  • Shoot 3 simple videos
  • Shoot 3 complex videos
  • Write 6 LinkedIn posts
  • Involve people every step of the way

UNIT TWO (1 month): Get people to start reaching out to me with AI questions

  • Create reaction videos to comments
  • Create videos based off on comments

UNIT THREE 1 month): Get big enough following to invite famous people on my videos

  • Figure out the platform I can get big on
  • Post on it consistantly

BONUS (1 day): Look for automation/outsourcing, try to make as low effort as possible

Ok let’s dive in deeper.

UNIT ONE (1 month ends March 22nd)

  1. Planning and setting up artifacts for videos (10 days ends March 2nd)
  2. Executing, shooting and editing (10 days ends March 12th)
  3. Feedback and editing for bigger videos (10 days ends March 22nd)

And even deeper….

UNIT ONE | Part 1 Planning and setting up artifacts for videos (10 days ends March 2nd)

  1. Create plans for each of the videos (4 days ends Feb 25th)
    • What videos I want to shoot (already done)
    • What those videos will look like in the intro (partly done)
    • What clips I need
    • What research I need
    • Who I need to talk to
    • When I need it by – figure out shooting schedule
    • How to break down each of the ideas into smaller content
  2. Figure out how to shoot each video (3 days ends Feb 28th)
    • Break down as much of the video as I can
    • If needed, come up with an imaginary best case scenario story just to know what shots I need
    • Solidify shooting schedule
    • Reach out to the people I need to reach out to
  3. Shoot preliminary non-essential parts of video (3 days ends March 2nd)
    • Shoot any part that I can that don’t require other people
    • Essentially get started with filming

Art Coaching Day 2/21

Byjack

I also figured out why I have troubling making a coaching website and why it felt so wrong. It had pricing and generic things on it.

I want my funnel to be an homage to my mission and vision, which is to foster the creation of more artistic masterpieces. So I want my website to have a feeling of magic, of the way Harry Potter felt when he was got his invitation letter to the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I want to remind myself of the feeling of reading children’s books. I want the website to be an homage to dreams, creating worlds, and fantasy.

I want my business cards to feel like a work of art, like a magical invitation.

Today I accomplished the following things:

  1. Bought masterpiececoaching.org
  2. Ordered samples of premium business card samples from Jukebox

Tomorrow I really want to design and put together my website asap using a template on wordpress.

Workpost 30: Refocus

Byjack

My mind feels wild

Like a disordered pair of weeds

Blowing in the wind

They seek home

Somewhere to rest their aching knots

And yet

I cannot find any purchase

The loose threads of my mind struggle

To connect into anything cohesive

Today I was feeling confused about a question:

Why do I no longer feel any motivation to do coaching? Is it because I’m scared to propose a $20,000 product? Am I scared to start a community?

And so I went for a walk. On my walk, I determined that it was because I desire to focus more than anything. Currently, I am focusing on posting for 50 days on LinkedIn and it’s taking a lot of energy. I need to be able to have fewer things on my plate.

However, when I sat down to write this journal. I realized that I’ve lost my way in these posts. I no longer do the hard work to grow and articulate how I am feeling. When I did, my poem revealed to me that I feel extremely lost and scattered in my mind. I’ve forgotten the helpful intentions I use to set myself into the mode of preparing my day:

  1. You are in my house
  2. Take your time, be patient
  3. Be ok with silence
  4. Take risks
  5. My house is a place where anything is possible
  6. Connection theory + flow theory

When I immerse myself in these intentions, I feel the distinct taste of possibility coming back to me and my world is opened wide enough to do the planning that I want to do in these posts.

Today I want to continue the work of yesterday and I want to focus on three things:

  1. AI project
  2. Linkedin post process
  3. To do list

Workpost 28: Taxes & Art Therapy

Byjack

Today I feel very tired but at least better rested than normal. I really want to finish my taxes today and I also want to experiment with art therapy and exercise to help get through the stress and effort of finishing.

My initial thoughts about art therapy is that it is all about reconnecting with your body…to do flow theory or follow what you feel. Art is about touching the forms with lines and paint, music is about creating sound, dance is about moving your body.

I’m doing more research. Here is a video that talks about using art to find a safe place:

Here is another video:

Current art therapy ideas:

  1. Express what you feel kinesthetically
    • Scribbling
    • Banging on the piano
    • Flow theory dance
    • Free writing
  2. Create a safe space, express what feels safe
    • Drawing
    • Writing
    • Music
  3. Repetitive motions
    • Shapes
    • Chords
    • Motions

But how does this translate to greater art creation? How does this create a world?

Thinking about this more, art creation is about the following:

  1. What you want to share with others
  2. What you find beautiful
  3. What you feel wonder about
  4. What stories you want to tell
  5. What is quirky, unique, and creative
  6. What worlds you want to live in and provide others

I have a couple ideas of how to transition from therapeutic art to art art:

  1. My therapy exercise (take a problem and solve it in the story by making the main character face a problem 10x more painful)
  2. Express what emotions you are feeling strongly
  3. Capture a memory
  4. Start with a characters
  5. Start with world
  6. Do a fanfic
  7. Daydream

Workpost 34: Refocusing

Byjack

My eyes hurt. I feel tired. My face is numb and buzzing. I feel heat and buzzing up my back. I feel like I pulled an all niter when I haven’t.

Today is the time when we learn how to be successful while taking care of ourself.

This is the challenge that is brought before us today.

I’m going to be drinking lots and lots of water.

I plan on practicing some tai chi.

I want to focus my attention on the very specific work that I need to do, and just relax afterwards.

By relaxing I mean, refuse to look at my todolist until I feel desire to. Go to the gym, drink water, do art therapy.

P.S. One note I want to make is that I remembered the point of these posts, to help do the hard work to achieve what I want, to be the person I want to be. The stepping stones to greatness.

Today I Search for the Simple Answers

I walk the way of water

Of scribbles on a paper

A simple job well done

The path isn’t clear for the weary

To find your place home

I search for my slice of Eden
