Amazon affiliates, merchandise, Patreon are all really good ways of monetising your journey. I think it's really important that you put this in place early on in your journey, because then you can start to see a little bit of income. Then you might be able to gauge what might be working and what isn't working. Because if nobody is buying your little bits and pieces that you're putting out which is going towards your larger piece of content maybe your larger piece of content is actually not going to work. So I think it's not only a monetising your journey thing, it's a testing ground for that thing, where you can put the feelers out and see if it's there’s actually a market for what you're trying to do, which might save you some time in the Long run.

So today as you might of seen on my Twitter feed that I'm going to the dentist. and you know, you might think that's not related at all. Why you doing that? Well I'm kind of thinking about fear and fear of acting. Like I haven't been to the dentist in over 30 years and not until today when I've actually got such a bad toothache that I'm in agonising pain do I actually do something about it and I think that comes back to my subject last week when I was talking about doing things which make you uncomfortable doing things which make you nervous. Because they're only going to make you better in the Long run. I've been putting off going to the dentist all this time and like I'm not gonna die, I hope I'm not gonna die, anyway we’ll find out…
So here I am at the other end of the dentist trip and my main takeaway from this whole exercise apart from my tooth is that don't put things off, because if you do you might lose the tooth. And you know you might miss opportunities, you might miss out on lots of things, and you know this fear of the unknown you've got to overcome, and it's funny that putting up with this tooth pain this agonising pain was way more painful than getting it removed, in fact having it removed didn't hurt at all. So I suppose the take away is to take that giant leap to make that step and it might not be as scary as you think.

I've kind of discovered that goal setting is a little bit like saving... you know it’s pretty boring it's not as interesting as winning the lottery. Everyone wants to win the lottery and we only tend to hear the stories about people who win the lottery. We don't hear the stories about the people who saved five dollars a day for 15 years and attained a good level of comfort from doing so. You don't hear those kinds of stories. But I think that is the sustainable way I think it's the only way over time every little bit every day you've got a build body of work, you've got to not feel guilty about inserting levels of monetisation in to that so you can start to get something back so you can start doing more and start building towards that successful career.

So I didn’t meet my New Years resolutions. Maybe I can keep to my financial New Years resolutions, with a little self awareness. An update on the goals for my self published kids book project. #NoSmallCreator

So more earthworks, more paving, more stuff which isn't the stuff which I'm trying to get done stuff happening. but I did get some stuff done in the downtime, I managed to record one of these adverts for my anchor podcast and I did it all on my phone, read from their script, I added a few little extra bits of my own. The only problem is that from my phone into an existing podcast it just dumped it straight at the start which is really not where I thought it was gonna end up because I thought I'd selected somewhere else, anyway. So in another down time i managed to get over, because I panicked, I'm trying to get it in the right spot from my desktop. But it wasn't even showing me where It was. so I re-brought it in again in the spot where I wanted it which actually fixed it. it works in iTunes, so if you haven’t listened to the Brian Vlasich interview please go over there now, because it's really great i love this Interview and you know what you'll also be giving to a creator ‘me’ one cent.

Let’s talk career pivots and strategies to get back on track.

How do you document your creative process or journey in a way that is still engaging without going into your personal life. I talk about figuring this out as well as working out what your boundaries should be when it comes to your privacy. #Documentyourjourney #NoSmallCreator

I’m on my lunch break from some serious earthmoving. So I think what I’ve learnt this week is if you want to implement something don't tell anyone that you're implementing anything because you, no doubt, will not be able to implement it because sometimes accountability isn't helpful and sometimes the pressure can choke you up. Another day of earthmoving today, another day that I can't get to my stuff. It’s probably gonna be like that for the next few days. It feels a bit frustrating but you know, I think I just need to get over that and push through because it's just a short space in time. And it’s all a matter of working with my values in mind, with my number one value being my family.

My short term daily goals, part two. This whole kids book idea, where is it? what's happening? what's going on with that? I keep talking about it, well the thing is I want to get this vlog, blog and podcast all up, all happening, all running smoothly first so that as soon as I start to stretch myself and going into illustrating a page of a kids book, one page every day, which is what I'm hoping to do because I want to get a whole series of books out. I want to get it out quickly, and the reason I want to get it out quickly aligns with a separate ‘Why’ altogether which I will explain later. Because I don't wanna, I don't need to be creating artworks. I just want to be creating something which is good, entertaining and fun but with a message as well and that's where the ‘Why’ comes in. And so, I'm looking at doing this page a day I'm gonna upload to Instagram stories and into my Twitter feed one a day starting November 1.
