Trying to Build a Business Chapter 6/1-6/7

This week in Business 6/1-6/7

It has been a few weeks of distractions, and maybe some burn out at times during this venture. I haven’t put in much effort in the last few weeks and with that, success has stayed as far from me as possible.

I had a ChatGPT brainstorming session where I came up with a few marketing campaigns, a few posts to just get the cobwebs off but I didn’t create what I needed to create. It has been the lowest possible amount of effort to maintain consistency. I’m at 17 posts still in the bank for Tiktok but what about Facebook posts? And maybe even youtube? I am at six minutes of work today and I am tired already. And this is just wrapping the last week up. A week where I did not keep track of.

Let’s go through some work that I did last week.

Tuesday: 63 minutes

Wednesday: 75 minutes

Thursday: 42 minutes

And then I went on a cruise on Friday with about 60 minutes dedicated to writing and getting footage for the travel agent venture.

Four hours total for the week. Once again, it is a low number in the summertime where I have no school. A lower workload at work. And just limited responsibilities.

I want to hit ten hours per week. A way to push the effort to new heights and try new things and improve at other things. I just feel like it is a push instead of a pull right now. A slight pull to get started but once started it feels like I am pushing to get through it. I keep reminding myself it’s just a phase but maybe it’s not. Maybe it is going to be super hard to get these things going as well as other responsibilities. Maybe it is why most people don’t do this. Going through a mental marathon at work to get home and do more mentally and creative taxing things after work?

Maybe a different approach is necessary. Maybe a couple of nights per week I can go to sleep really early to wake up and dedicate time to this venture. Where my energy is all mine. Currently, I use my energy at work and then use the leftovers just to push myself through the night trying to exercise. I’m trying to maintain other chores all at the same time. I won’t give up. I just know if I don’t put in more time and make more sacrifices, it won’t work.
