Howard: Hi everyone, Howard from startupremarkable.com here. And this is the second of my monthly updates on my million dollar challenge to get to a million dollars in 999 days. And in this video I’m going to tell you a little bit about what I have done over the past month, what I have learned, what I am going to do over the next month and how I feel I am doing so far.

So, the last month, actually, it has been two months since my last video. The last kind of two months is kind of crazy times for me because, yeah, I have got a lot of good things, positive things, I think everything that happened in the last two months has been really [really] positive but some big [big] changes. So, first one I broke up with my long-term girlfriend, moved in to, I think that was the right thing, I moved in to Central London. I was living here a bit outside over here in the UK. I was living a little bit outside. And also I began working in full-time job my first official fulltime job in six years and with a startup business.

And how does that fit into my million dollar challenge you might ask? Going out and working for somebody else. Well, for me, it was always been a part of the plan to work with a really high growth startup company. I feel I need to be in that environment to learn. Learn what it takes to grow a business really [really] fast. And also just being around that [kind of] type of talented people that have that sort of mindset of growing a really [really] big business. So, that’s what I’m doing for the moment. It is a social gaming company and, yeah, they are really [really] ambitious and growing really fast already. So, that’s really where I have been over the last month or so.

Things I have learned, yeah, I learned a couple of things. A big challenge adjusting to working full-time. So, I’ve learned that I have to work differently to be able to have spend time to update this blog and to work on my own business outside my full-time job which is ultimately where I see me making my million dollars and really growing. It has to come to that business I’ve been working on outside my full-time business. So, that’s a challenge because the full-time job I am in takes up a lot of the time. So, I haven’t really quite cracked that yet.

I am working hard on putting, trying to outsource as much as I can at the moment and I’ll keep you filled in on that but I’m not quite there yet. But the goal is everything on my blog, other than content creation; I’m going to outsource or automate so I’ll be everything afar from the actual writing of the blog post or shooting the videos. Everything else, somebody else, other people would do. And that’s the same for my business. I will out everything that I need to do to move along my business that I’m pursuing which I internalized, I have to completely be able to delegate that. So that’s all about putting certain procedures in place so people are able to do it without me being there. It’s a challenge but it is a fun one at the same time.

So, how do I think I’m doing? When I look at, when I’m writing down how much money I have made and the fact that I need to get to a million dollars I look and then go, “Hey, I have a hell of a long way to go still.” But, I am exactly where I wanted to be right now. Working, the job I got is absolute dream one, and what I’m gonna learn in that I’m gonna be really [really] well set up to run my thing afterwards.

Yeah, I’m really happy there’s a lot of kinda changes I have to do [you know] whether moving and also with my girlfriend, stuff like that. And, yeah, it’s kinda been really [really] big kinda one or two months for me and things are looking good.

So, I’ll see you back here in a month and I’ll tell you how I’m doing. Cheers!
