My Ultimate Plan

This is a while we're waiting kinda post - sometime in the fall I want to have the social networking challenge ready - but you never know when things will come to pass, so in the meantime, I'm posting up my ultimate plan.

I've had this plan for a while now, but I saw a video tonight that added a whole dimension to it I hadn't anticipated. After looking at the statistics of successful 30 day challengers (low), I'm beginning to think this plan could take a lot of time to come to completion.

The plan is fairly simple - have about 10 markets beginning PPC / 30DC testing at a time. Those that show promise get the majority of my time, and further testing and expansion is applied. A niche that does really well ends up going to different mediums of advertising and expands into a full thriving business, and is eventually outsourced so I can have the time to dedicate to the other markets.

The idea is that there is ALWAYS 10. And the total failures only make it about 10 days. I continually rotate markets in the search for ones that will show signs of a profitable niche. Eventually, I should end up with 2-4 major businesses that bring in all the money, and niches that turn into profitable businesses after that will mostly be given away (hence, my business inner circle.)

But, it could be a long and hard road. I expect a lot of big bumps in the road. And today was kind of a wake up call as I faced the statistics - and the fact that I have to get back to working for my dad again this week.

I got kind of the missing ingredient for my plan tonight... as obvious as it is, this guy said it with the right spirit. I'll be putting up one business a day for months, maybe years until I find some that I can expand. To keep doing something every day for a year, you need this spirit:



...and just to kill time, here's another video (test):
