The same colleague I mentioned previously asked me about my VMOSA: vision -> mission -> objectives -> strategies -> action plans. Here's mine:
Vision: to spend all my time with family and trains
Mission: to be financially independent without compromising ethics
Objectives: to create revenue streams that are not linked to personal hours and that can be generated by working from home
Strategies: to generate income from any product that is infinitely scalable (this means content, IP, digital products, brands, ideas... Also books are effectively infinite). This almost always involves the internet.
Action plans:
- learn how the Web works (because almost no tested models exist yet: this is a frontier)
- create and test models
- drive the best models for five to ten years
- bank the money
The IT Skeptic is a pilot site for actions 1 and 2
Ops4less, ttjasi, and Advice for My Son are item 2 test models.
