Building a Business Chapter 5/18-5/24

This week in business 5/18-5/24     

I have been strong in my consistency. I have worked on this venture most days, I have had it in my mind for most days. I feel like I am locked in for the time I need to put into this venture to make it grow. It always draws me in. Something I want to improve in. It has become a part of my life. An ever-changing part of my life.

 Here are some of the new changes I want to pursue in the coming months.

Lean more into the travel agent side. Provide all the pricing for hotels in a given week which is X number of weeks away. The most optimal time to grab fast passes, dining reservations, and hotel availability. Post pictures and news drops on the travel agent Facebook page. Be consistent in that area.

Provide pricing for MOCK vacations. Saving money where possible. Maybe three tiered vacations. CHEAP, Moderate, and Deluxe hotel vacation pricing. Complete with transportation, meals, fast passes, hotels, and park tickets. Also, add in an ad about travel agent.

Create a google doc where people can put in their information to get a quote. Quick easy. No DM’s trying to figure it all out. Make it readily available but don’t hit anyone over the head with it. Provide the value and make sure if they do want to take the next step they are free to do so.

This day has gone a different direction. I used it to be active on the socials but for mostly, not Disney related content. Not ideal but keep pushing the positivity. It will work out.

Dear diary. Today I am running on fumes. I got the most sleep in the last few days, but I woke up tired and with a headache which is always a fun way to start the day. Some days I do get really unmotivated to do anything. I was writing about being ready to do this for the long haul but then the next day I am tired and unmotivated. Where I have to push through to get any words on the page or use any creative energy. Even as I write this, I know this isn’t my best stuff but the most important thing for me anyway, is that consistency. This word is probably the most written word by me, and I have always struggled with it. School, sports, relationships, exercise routines, hobbies, and many more items in my life where I would struggle with consistency.

I have a cloud hanging above me. Something I am just too tired to start today but I like the idea of trying to get far ahead of schedule in tiktoks so I can try to take more chances. Load up on the drafts and quick content but try to make better videos. Put in more effort to try and get a bit more traction. I have done a lot in the last few weeks so I could definitely spit out as much content as possible and hit a month of daily posts? This feels like a good number to have the deadline pushed off far enough that I can be lazy a few days or I can start to try and improve the content. Take the time to improve the content instead of worrying about having one ready to post per day. It has been a little over three months since the consistent posting started but it has been a year since my most watched video was posted and I never made an effort to do similar things.

Goal for today: Make as many tiktoks as possible. Make the buffer as wide as possible. And I completed this goal. The buffer is now for two weeks, and I do enjoy having that buffer so I’m not racing the clock over and over again.

The totals for the weeks seemed to be up and down without looking at them but let us get the final tally.

Monday: 100 minutes

Tuesday: 45 minutes

Wednesday: 68 minutes

Thursday: 35 minutes

Friday: 36 minutes

Just a few minutes below five hours worked total, but I did get far ahead in tiktok posting schedule and I have really enjoyed the journey. It remains consistent. One thing I do notice is not using my free time as efficiently as I probably could. I have the most free time that I probably will ever have and I have not been able to take advantage. Life is long, I can figure it out later.
