Great post! You can even combine those methods (but after some time, first focus on one thing).

Thanks! Totally agree—mastering one first is key. Once you’ve got that down, combining them can take things to the next level!

@The Human Project Good layout and map!

Most people want 10k in 30 days. If you strike lightning you might reach that, but most don't. Thanks for laying out the timeline on each thing.

I skill stacked starting at 18 years old. Started learning everything I possibly could about marketing and communications through YouTube, books, podcasts. Here I am 10 years later, no degree, but have a successful career making 6 figures annually. And it’s truly just the beginnings. 🙌🏼
