Putting the second foot forwards
Once again I find myself writing a blog specific towards my entrepreneur goals. Since I have last written, I have found that my personal business goals are much closer to actualization. I have researched the necessary paperwork to start the LLC for Immix Games, created a prototype for our first card game Huebris, contacted LudoFact (a manufacturing company for board games located in Germany) and received a quote for the first thousand or two, and prepared to launch the Kickstarter page for it.
I have been discussing with my wife the potential pledge awards and whether they are within my grasp as well as if someone would be interested in them. I still need to take the raw data I have received and finalize the total amount I will need to have pledged to start. Once I finish that, I need to decide if it is time for the Kickstarter page to go active. I think I would like to purchase a few more prototypes and submit them to popular board game bloggers and see whether they would write an informal review for it. Creating a unique and fresh style of tabletop game sounded like a great idea, but I have found that I am floundering a little in how to market something that has no similarities.
I have also started a new business course, and while on paper it seems almost the same as the last one I took, I have found that I have already gained a few insights - at least from the book I am reading. I am reading the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur and he has quite a different take than most. It is quite refreshing and I find myself questioning everything that conflicts with past teachings. Because of this, I have been able to decide for myself what is best to further my goals.
I find that most of these business self-help books are really more about becoming another person than becoming a better self. For instance, the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, while claiming to be different, still is simply teaching you to be a TPE business mind and the Good to Great are teaching you to follow in their footsteps and on and on. Fortunately, by understanding this, I have been able to come to terms with what I need to do to succeed. If I do, could I tell you my story and could you learn from it? Sure, but in reality, it is really about knowing yourself. Once you have done that, any external difficulty will be surmountable. All it takes is clear self-worth and gumption.
