I see the first 30 days refining and prioritizing the list above through Substack comments and calls/interviews with people I connect with. This will be a 100-Day Journey, February 1-May 9. My goal will be to bring in revenue in February and March while I explore where my new career will land. I can make a big impact and want to find people who will challenge me, appreciate me, and support me.
