Week 5, 6 & 7: My journey to 1 Million Dollars. #MakerMillion

I totally dropped the ball on posting weekly updates these past 3 weeks. I have been very busy with work and it's been exhausting.

So this "week" is actually 3 weeks combined into one, I hope to get better about posting regularly.

Updates

  • I officially have "Merch" available now to help support my journey, check out the current items available and order if you can: http://www.redbubble.com/people/micahiverson
  • I also added the merch to my website and twitter feed so it's easily discoverable.
  • I finally got paid for 4 painting jobs, so cashflow is back up again and can start contributing to my savings as expected.
  • I'm beginning to pick up some design and development work, I plan to expand on this and put 90% of that income directly towards savings.
  • I'm focusing on putting together a painting crew so that I can personally focus on bringing in more jobs and being able to support the extra work.
  • I am creating a sort of "Mascot" for my painting company, it will allow me to do some interesting / consistent social media marketing posts.
  • Revenue from my side projects has stagnated, not sure why, starting to focus on marketing and growth over building new projects.
  • Pushed out some big updates to https://www.retrospect.team, we now have two new features: Notes and Lists, they are simple but useful additions for pro users.

Saved: $1,750

      Thanks for the comments, appreciate the support!

      I have debated on a sort of "brand" around the #MakerMillion name, haven't given it enough thought to determine what that would mean exactly. Just purchased the domain (can't believe I hadn't done that already).

      I hope one day I'll make it "big", it's just a matter of time :)
