Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me again. This is Kasey with not Kase sensitive. Sometimes I go by case. It's a case by case basis. I'll see myself out now. Yeah, if it sounds like I'm whispering, I hate whispering at you right now, it's because I'm trying to not look anybody up. Just put the baby down so.
Yeah. This is my second episode, so for some of you welcome back. Yeah, I have no idea what I'm doing. And that's kind of the theme of this, this episode. So I recently, recently saw a tweet that someone said there's a hundred thousand dollars business in your head. And I don't know remember who said it, but it's, I mean, it's true.
It's all there. I have microphones, guitars, amplifiers, computers, access to the knowledge of basically the entire planet, how-tos, how to replicate what really successful people are already doing. So that's my first point is it's all, it's all there. But that also leads me to my second point.
If you're struggling, You know, you can't find your way. Replicate or imitate first, and then innovate. So so many successful businesses are built every year, not because they're doing some unique or something unique or novel, they're just replicating services and products that already exist, yet there's still a need for more.
Don't let not having some unique disrupting idea keep you from getting started. And that leads me to my third point. Just get started to it badly. Get things out there as often as you possibly can. Things don't have to be perfect to find success, and you should never expect perfe perfection straight out of the gate.
So much of my time online, I've been passive and hid from basically being on the playing field, so I'm trying to change that. In the past two months or so, I have written and published an ebook and am working on, on getting it to paperback. I'm also working on getting that to other platforms too. I started a newsletter.
I've started a podcast. Thank you for listening. I've started tweeting more, even though Twitter is a dumpster fire right now. I've started making designs and listening them on, you know, different, different platforms for sale. I've made a digital garden planner, enlisted it on Etsy. I've also listed Garden Cs to sell on Etsy.
I've recorded videos for YouTube. I did one last night, actually, I'm gonna talk about that here in a minute. I've started a framework for a course building around, you know, wet laboratory fundamentals. Mathematicians and people who aren't used to the lab, and I've started coding a, a laboratory information management system just to learn how to code better.
Am I doing any of these things really well? No. Am I making a ton of money doing these things also? No, it doesn't matter. I'm laying as many possible rungs in my ladder right now and I'm climbing. Get started doing the thing you've always wanted to do, it'll happen. Just put the reps in. It won't matter if it sucks right now, for it to be good later, it has to suck now or it just won't ever be a thing.
I did wanna touch on the book again. So one of. Coolest thing. So far I've only sold like, I don't know, seven copies. Almost zero expectation that I would sell anything anyway. But the coolest thing so far has been friends getting, getting good feedback from friends and them saying that it has inspired them to write their own book.
And that has made it so worth it already. This work isn't going to change the world. It is just me doing things. And if someone else reads something and decides to write something for themselves, maybe that'll change the world, and that's cool. and I mentioned also recording videos for YouTube. Yeah.
So, you know, I, I record some, some footage and I'm gonna re, you know, do a review of, of Hungry Route, which is one of my, one of the del grocery delivery services that I've been using for the past four months or so. And so I recorded a quick video and it's just, it's awful quality and I. Didn't want to edit it.
Like in the past I've loved editing videos and, you know, doing, doing stuff like that. But this time I just didn't have the energy. I'm trying to learn a new software, which is Da Vinci resolved at the same time. And, you know, subject material was not, not good. So I chose to delegate that out to kind of polish the turd, so to speak.
So when you can, especially when you're, when you're getting started early, delegate, the things that drain you the most out, delegate those out. So, for instance, when I wrote my book, you know, I, I delegated editing out, it costs money. But I had you. Some money to spare. So I chose to get my time back and focus on other things and let some professionals, you know, put me on their back for a while.
So anyway, yeah, so that's, that's kind of where I. Things team with me. I'm waiting on the YouTube footage to come back. We'll see. Shoot me a message. Let me know what you're, what you're working on, what you wanna work on and just get started. Be bad at something. Learn as you go. This podcast, I mean, the settings just to, you know, get the right settings for a recording.
A good podcast are immense and daunting and I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying and that's all that matters. Okay. Thanks for listening.
