On a whim (how some of my life's greatest foibles, fumbles but also victories, have begun!) I took the plunge and enrolled in this e-course on how to take your creative business ideas and allow them the room and resources to "take flight".
Day One today and already I'm feeling inspired, moved, excited, nervous, terrified and overwhelmed. In other words, I don't even know where my emotions to move from here!
The truth is, when it comes to what I see myself wanting, I mean REALLY wanting from life, it's easy for me to work that out long-term. I want:
- my own comedy style show, nationally broadcast on Australia with opportunities also presenting themselves overseas.
- to have an independent production company (in the vein of Roving Enterprises, Working Dog, etc) through which I can produce my own projects for film and TV. I already have several people I wish to work with this on in mind!
- have a national profile as a comedic personality and be in demand for TV gigs, etc.
- write a regular national parenting column for a high profile magazine or newspaper.
- publish my cartoons on family life in a weekly high profile newspaper.
- present or co-present a weekly national radio show.
- launch and promote an organisation which supports families to embark on volunteer trips with their kids, to inspire the next generation to be actively involved in helping the global community.
- have a full-time housekeeper/nanny/PA/all-round superstar to keep the family life organised and relatively hygienic.
That really is it.
It's when it comes down to the nitty gritty of the short-term goals that I begin to struggle with feeling overwhelmed. So many things! So much to do! So many other exciting projects that I am tempted to be sidetracked with!
See, in this is not even MENTIONED the possibility of selling my art (a journey, mind you, which I really have only just begun), yet I really am loving it so much that I feel like that really could be part of my goals list, yet where the heck would I even begin in terms of fitting that in? Agh....
One of the ideas Kelly Rae presents in her workshop (I'm sure it's cool to share this as she mentions it on her public blog also) is that of writing a letter to your future self.
I love this idea, even though it kinda frightens me.
Yet...off I go!
