Hey guys! What if I told you that just by you making simple day to day actions, all your goals and dreams could come true. Let me explain. But real quick!
We’re so close to hitting $7000 for the Finding Clues with Detective Blue #1 Kickstarter campaign! If we hit this we increase the page count from 20 to 32!
If we can hit the milestone of $5000 on this campaign, I know for sure we can land at $7000 to increase the story pages! Let’s gooo!
ALSO!
I finished fulfillment on SUPER PLUMBER SISTERS #4 tonight. I’ll be shipping everything out on Tuesday so if you’ve been confused why your tracking number hasn’t moved, well it’s because it’s just been in my office waiting.
Okay! Let’s talk about the universe.
Lately this has been where I live 10-15 hours a day, in the offices of my marketing agency that I run with my friend.
In February when we lost our jobs, we had some choices to make.
Either try to do business together, or find new jobs. We had about $1500 in monthly clients coming in at that point (not enough for either of us), and so we started looking for clients. Luckily we had enough “banked” for a month before we were in serious trouble.
I started putting meeting up with businesses, pitching our services, and doing free work to build relationships in the space. I was talking to literally anyone I could. I was putting myself into so many uncomfortable situations working night and day to make it possible for us to not get jobs.
It felt like hell.
Two weeks later something crazy happened.
We landed a $10k a month client.
What the crap. This was huge. But it still wasn’t “enough” for us to be where we needed to be to support our families after expenses, but now we were in too deep to get jobs. So we kept hustling.
And then we got 2 new clients 3 days later.
Where the hell did they come from?
And just this week I signed on a client that I had met 2 years in Chicago at a random convention, and this week I have a meeting to sign someone else that I met last year.
The ball is rolling and I’m confident that in the next 2-3 months we’ll hit the milestone goal that we want to hit.
But how was this all possible?
Well. We willed it into the universe and opened the doors for good things to happen.
But the thing is this, YOU need to take the first step.
And the first step is the worst. It’s the most uncomfortable, it’s the most jarring, and it’s painful.
The first step will possibly feel like an f-you to your friends and family who are in a spot in life you’re trying to escape. And by taking that first step, you might be ridiculed by them purely because they WISH if they made the first steps, they could change their life, but they’re too afraid and lazy too.
So take that first step.
Take that risk.
You won’t regret it.
Because along the journey what you’re going to find is that you’ve picked up several new skills, built new relationships, and you never know when all of that is going to come full circle.
Case in point.
My life is the way that it is currently because of I started making comics, and I wanted to know how to get readers. I started learning about marketing, fell in love with it, tricked a few business owners to give me marketing jobs where I could learn more on their dime and time, and now I’m running my own company.
All because I took the leap to make comics.
And my parents TO THIS DAY still go “you still making those picture books?”
Here’s a challenge for you.
This week, I want you to take the FIRST STEPS into doing something that you know will change your life. Maybe it’s talking to a certain person. Maybe it’s creating a list or game plan on what you want to achieve. Maybe it’s creating that Youtube channel and getting going.
For me, I know that I need to start creating more content for COMICS and for myself. So this week my goal is to make sometime to record some videos for a new channel I’m working on (not comics related).
I don’t know.
If you’re still reading this, I’m hoping that I’m a positive part of your day. I hope reading this pushes you towards a life that I know you deserve. You just gotta take the steps to take it.
And trust me. I know how hard and uncomfortable it’s going to be.
But I’m right by your side. Feel free to hit me up, comment, or DM me on twitter (@tyler_c_world) if you feel like you want to take this step but are scared and need someone to talk to.
Okay! I gotta get some sleep before this baby wakes up again (currently living off of Monster Energy drink despite Ichthy5 telling me it’s bad for my body).
Make sure to check out FINDING CLUES WITH DETECTIVE BLUE #1 on Kickstarter! We only have 10 days left!
Peace
Tyler
