Happy Friday!
Welcome, welcome to the first lesson plan from 69x2030, our business-ed newsletter where we plan to teach ya’ll how to get hood-rich so you can pay yourself while investing in your local leaders and community needs/projects.
I’m your host, Calan the Artist @calantheartist and I heard money makes you more of who you are. Let’s see.
Each email is meant to inspire something to get you moving. It’ll always contain a section for 📍Philly, a lesson, tool and easy homework to get you closer to your goals. Bonus points, share your homework outcomes in the comments.
This first e-mail today specifically shows you our plan, our business plan, and what we’re doing here. Enjoy.

The Plan to create 69 Artist Millionaires by 2030 has been going since 2022, and we just designed it so it looked fresh for our team, advisors, and you to better understand what we’re doing.
There are three phases in how we execute, please review our full plan here and what we’re doing: The Plan by 69&Sunny.
Research & Development
Building the Ideal Conditions
Grow Our Community
Business / Builder Plan
Never underestimate a document that outlines your business. What are you building, what money are you planning to receive from it, why does this matter now? This report allows your business to exist outside of your head, which is essential when you’re building a team to help you.
Here’s our business plan! We care about transparency, ease, and generosity, with the intention to better Philadelphia.
We’ll have a business plan template for you soon so be on the lookout for that!
Honestly, we don’t have to wait until 2030 to make our first millionaires. There’s a book by Noah Kagan that says you can make a millionaire in a weekend — I’m giving us a month.
We’re finishing the lesson plan/curriculum now to make it as simple as possible, categorizing learning by your first dollars, first $10k, first $100k, first $1M. Then you can easily find excerpts that align with your millionaire becoming timeline, one weekend, one month, 4 years etc.
Either way, we’re so glad you’re here. 69x2030 is about inspiring the next generation of Artist Investors and we’re just getting started.
Can’t wait to see what happens! 🌞
What do I want to sell?
Grab a pen and paper, write down “What do I want to sell” at the top of it, then find a song, answer the question! Pens up when the song is over.
Star your favorites. This becomes your first offer to test.
Bonus points: text someone your weirdest one and ask what they think.
Share on the comments of this post what’s your offer and how much it costs, maybe even a link to your proof.
One of our community leaders asked for a Business checklist, something they can check off to feel more business credible with. Here’s a simplified version to get you started.
Make sure you test, test, test your offerings before you go into building a whole business around it (naming, branding, filing), some creators realize real quick that they don’t want it, and that’s perfectly okay.
Build-a-Business Checklist
a clear, repeatable offer ex. I’m a plumber, I charge $300/hr (today’s homework)
business plan shows how you plan to grow the offer
proof it works - one real receipt (ex. client story, number reached, a name/brand)
brand/website/email - shows proof & signals legitimacy
easy ways to get paid - Shows money moves (an invoice, contract, payment link connected to your business bank account)
great communication - Relationships with real people, matter most
Ultimately after you’ve tested your repeatable offer. You’ll want your LLC/business structure, to get your business EIN (like your businesses social security number), bank account.
We rely on our community-knowledge, please let us know in the comments what we’re missing here!
