Workpost 32: The Power of Belief
I saw this anime recapped last night and I felt it was really inspiring. It was about a guy who needs to create an unprofitable company in order to win money in a game. But in not fearing failure and instead trying to embrace it, he found it hard to not succeed. Obviously this is fiction, and people would find it easy to fail in real life, but there is a part of this that rings true for me.
When you aren’t afraid of failure, it is hard to stave off success. Everything is about having a strong mindset.
Today I want to just focus on the main ideas I said in my previous post:
- You’re in my house
- Take time, be patient
- Be ok with silence
- Take risks
- Anything is possible
Workpost 29: Health
Today I woke up feeling really tired. I felt undermotivated to do the things that I want to do: take walks, write in my journal. I think I’ve also been finding it hard to retain purpose for some reason, or motivation or energy to power that purpose.
I realized this morning that a big reason as to why is simply health. I felt too much discomfort in my stomach in my head, too tired.
Today’s goals are simple:
- Clean up my apartment to a level that I could invite people over and feel good about it
- Focus on my health and wellness, drink lots of water and take naps, eat good food
- Move around a lot, I have a lot of todo list items, and I can take them different places
I’m really excited for the last one, to get outside my apartment a little more. I have more money now to do these sorts of things, so I would like to explore austin a little more, go to the library, parks, coffee shops and just have a good time while I’m working through all the different to-do list items. I have some truly excellent protocols for figuring out how to work on the move and I want to use them.
Workpost 7: New AI Consulting Plan
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)
- Planning and setting up artifacts for videos (10 days ends March 2nd)
- Executing, shooting and editing (10 days ends March 12th)
- 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)
- 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
- 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
- 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
AI Consulting Day 2/21
Here is what I decided today.
In order to succeed at the project I am currently working on, I need to focus on developing my business, get me into the right headspace of possibility, positivity, fun, innovation, and purpose.
I don’t need to develop anything external (website, logo) but I do need to develop tools and processes to get me into the right headspace.
Here are some original ideas:
- 7 whys to understand purpose
- Write a science fiction story of the role of the clients company in the future, write an origin story to the company
- Try to tell the science fiction with the brand, website, ads
- Design thinking – how might we solve X problem
- What does level 3 look like? What does level 1 and 2 look like?
- What problem are we solving for humanity?
- What crisis are we pushing the boundaries in?
- Mindmap – fill the whiteboard
- What games can we play with our employees?
- How can we make it fun for our clients?
Here is the main blueprint concept I am working with:
- Build the future: create home base to live in
- Brand
- Mission
- Vision
- Website
- Recruit more people for that future: I need you!
- Lead magnet
- Work together for the future: we build it together
- Offer
- Make it science fiction: push it past what is now
- Technology innovation
- Process innovation
