Marks Newsletter #1

Hi, My name is Mark, thank for taking the time to read my newsletter.

I want to share my story.

I have gone all in on being a content creator.

The decision to go all in was easy. I will tell you why. KEEP READING.

I am writing this with 130 followers and a serious face.

Am I crazy?

No I am not, actually thinking very clear.

I have some thoughts behind my decision. Here are 7 things on my brain.

My Goals

My future

My friends

My Family

My Anti Vision.

My life experience

My business experience.

"I believe everything happens for a reason"

Fear Of Missing Out. if you don't know.

I have tried making money in the past with crypto, YouTube, TikTok. But I had no teaching or coaching. I failed.

SOME OF MY REGRETS:

I purchased 2 bitcoins @ $4200 but sold them at $10,000. Today $68000

I had purchased 50 Ethereum @ $80 and sold them at $250. Today $3800

I started a YouTube channel over 5 years ago and quit.

I was on TikTok 4 years ago and quit with 800 followers.

Online business has always interested me, but I didn’t know how to make it work.

The creators I watched back then, are now all successful. Some of them are over 200k followers on YouTube etc.

Experts project that the creator economy will double from 250B to 480B by 2028.

The internet is changing everything on the business front.

I have been in business management and sales for 25 years. The way we do business has changed. I can see that CLEARLY.

The decentralization of work has begun

The power for the solopreneur business is here.

Building your OWN brand is the future.

The time to go ALL in is now!

The fear of NOT trying to make this happen is MORE than the fear of failing.

What do I have to lose?

Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

I got laid off from my current employer in middle of March 2024. I worked there for 13 years.

My previous employer before last laid me off after 10 years to close down a department.

I excelled in both careers, never even calling in sick, for fear of letting the company down.

Where did that get me? On the street!

I had no power or control of those decisions. Now I am left to figure out how to proceed.

I have made so much money for my employers, and nothing to show for my hard work.

Working your way up to the top of a corporate structure, and than let go because they are restructuring.....F that!

I should have been working for myself all along....Damn

Working the 9-5 is not the way to get ahead in this life.

Building someone else's dream but your own is not a way of life.

Investing your time in someone else business will not get you the freedom and security in your life.

I learned in school of how to be a employee instead of a business owner.

Start building your life now.

The recent event at my last employer has changed me:

It made me realize I have to change my:

thoughts

mindset

goals

change my focus

work on my self.

I am in reinventing myself going forward in my future.

I have such better sense of purpose and direction.

I cant go back and change what has happen, but I can learn from my mistakes and go forward.

I have had many challenges in my life. I have failed, I have had disappointments. I have had success. I have had wins.

I have always believed it is how you deal with these struggles in life is what DEFINES who you are.

The GOOD thing is we can learn from our mistakes and more forward and grow.

My Goals:

Building a community of followers

Build a personal brand by sharing:

my skills

my interests

my knowledge

the goals I have achieved.

the problems I have solved.

Share my stories of success and failure.

And help other to do the same

Take full control over my future

Have freedom to work when and where I want. .

Working everyday creating new habits and learning to move forward.

Become a better writer.

Learn new things each day.

Thank you for reading.

Have great day!

Mark
