Alright, let’s get something straight. I’ve got five little businesses on the go. Yes, I’m a sucker for punishment. But, unlike most people who thrive on “hustle culture” and triple-shot espressos, I’m out here trying to delegate like my life depends on it. Because, honestly, it kinda does
So, here’s how I’m going to pull in £5,500 a month from these bad boys without completely losing my marbles. This all combines into my goal of being completely nomad too.
1. Website Design – £2,000 a Month (And My Admin is My Hero)
First up, my website design business. I’m aiming for £2,000 a month, but am I doing the cold outreach? Hell no. That’s admin assistant territory now. I’m handing off the soul crushing emails off to them along with LinkedIn Outreach and data collection, and looking forward to integrating that in the next week or so. Already the best decision since sliced bread. Here’s how I’m handling it:
- Step 1: My admin will handle all the “Hey, can I build your website?” emails, so I don’t have to.
- Step 2: I’ve got a landing page for website reviews that’s ready to go. All I need to do is run ads and wait for the magic to happen—or, more realistically, hope people click on it and don’t immediately bounce.
- Step 3: Networking. Yeah, I’ll have to show up and pretend to be a normal human being at events. Shake a few hands, give a little “Hey, I build websites” speech, and pray I don’t sound like an idiot.
Finally, when work piles up, I’ve got freelancers in my back pocket ready to swoop in and save the day. I’ll just handle the client facing stuff and let them deal with the nitty-gritty coding.
2. Wedding Videography – £1,000 a Month (While My Partner Does the Hard Work)
Here’s the thing: I’m not the guy behind the camera at your cousin’s wedding. I’m the one running the business side, which means I handle the spreadsheets, the emails, and the “How much?!” conversations. Meanwhile, my business partner films the actual weddings.
- Step 1: Social media. I suck at it. There, I said it. So, I’m gonna be hiring someone to deal with Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest because, let’s face it, it’s the only way couples are finding vendors these days. I’m out here trying to be relatable, but I’ll let someone else handle the hashtags.
- Step 2: Tomorrow, I’m hitting up a wedding conference, and pretending I know what I’m doing. These events are a goldmine for locking in future brides and grooms who are already stressed about their big day.
- Step 3: Delegate the filming to my partner, then take the credit for the business growth. Isn’t that what bosses do?
3. BrickBuildersClub – £100 a Month (Affiliate Commissions and Lego Addiction)
This one’s a passion project with a friend. It’s an affiliate business where we run competitions, get people to click our affiliate links, and then dish out 50% of the commission in prizes.
- Step 1: Promote the affiliate links like it’s my job—oh wait, it is. Social media, newsletters, and all that jazz. I’ve got to get people hyped about the chance to win more Lego because apparently, that’s a thing.
- Step 2: Run competitions and giveaways where people click on my links, buy some bricks, and we send out prizes. It’s like Lego crack, and people love it.
4. Kalm Koala – £1,000+ a Month (The Calm in the Storm)
This is the gonna be my passive income holy grail business. Kalm Koala is a 30-day program designed to help people chill out, and yes, I’m definitely one of those people who could benefit from it myself.
- Step 1: The program’s set up, it’s live, and now I just need to tell people about it. The tricky bit. So, I’m gonna be going all in on ads
5. The App – £1,000 a Month (Let’s Just Hope It Works)
And finally, there’s the app. We’re building it, it’s been designed, I’m prototyping it. Market research next and onto funding. It’s got that shiny “please don’t crash” vibe. The aim? To bring in a nice, steady £1,000 a month from users signing up for it and sell it off for a million a few years later
- Step 1: The usual suspects—launch ads, get it into people’s hands, and then pray it doesn’t blow up on day one.
The Bottom Line
So, I’m an addict right, so I’ve got 5 businesses and I’m aiming for £5,500 a month and rising. I’m not about to pretend I’ve got it all figured out. The secret sauce? Delegation, a touch of blind optimism, and sheer stubbornness. Most days, I’m running on caffeine and sarcastic comments, but with the right people in place—and a bit of luck—I might just pull it off.
In the meantime, if you need me, I’ll be at the wedding conference, faking smiles and pushing business cards.
