Breaking out of My Shell

I have always been a pretty shy person. I get nervous making phone calls, sometimes even if I know the person and I never find it very easy to just walk up to a stranger and introduce myself. Even around friends I don't say very much. That wouldn't seem to work very well with my dream to start a large scale outdoor business and make outdoor/ cycling related films. Even in an online business you must promote yourself, hire employees and make critical decisions. It's as they always say though, where there's a will there's a way! This journal will be here to document my journey as I try to break out of my shell and find some success.

I am in a class right now that challenges you to start a business, make $100 profit and then liquidate it at the end of the semester.. I'm still struggling to figure out exactly what I want to do for that. I actually have access to an old screen printer, maybe I'll make a bunch of cool outdoor lifestyle T-shirts and sell those.

Wild Outdoor Living has been doing amazing though. I wouldn't quite go so far as to call it a business but the channel is about to hit 100 subs and it already has 32,000 views which just blows my mind. I do monetize the videos and I am hoping that eventually the channel can make enough money to support the big adventures that I go on, which in turn should allow me to go on even more adventures. If I could get it to that point I would be through the roof.

Alright as always until next week guys,

Catch ya later!
