I have been rebuilding my website to bring together people to create a better future. That is my goal in its simplest form.
When I was younger, and I went to a few of these meetings hosted by Community Futures Development Corporation. They were for young teens to come together for business building skills, team work, different points of view, and creating a successful future for yourself. Also just put into its simplest form.
But behind the simplicity is a long line of choices that were to aim for those goals. This one time there was this multiple choice quiz that figures out your personality, and I was green, which meant that I thought a lot like Walt Disney or Albert Einstein. Apparently I was considered to be an inventive person, which is pretty cool, and felt it validated how I viewed the world.
I’ve been researching both of these men recently, Walt Disney of course for how he changed history with happiness disguised as cinema. By that I mean, he literally worked to spread happiness.
Albert Einstein worked to understand the world. He went against the grain to succeed and prove what it was that he was learning to understand about the very nature of our being. Ironically, I am watching the show Genius on Disney+, which tells the story of Einstein in its first season, so this burst of inspiration is quite ironic in a way.
I also just got introduced in this Mathew McConaughey thing entitled Art Of Livin’, and it did say exactly what I wanted to hear at that moment, the idea of people coming together to enjoy life, it sounds exciting to me, perhaps a lot of people that think the same way can become friends and build ideas from the ground up.
That was exactly what I was already trying to build up the last few days.
My last post went from being something I wrote down while being inspired by Wu-Tangs final episode, to a video with my floating face and business card floating on a screen for 20 minutes trying to inspire people.
I then realized that I can’t be out looking for work at every moment, I need to have work come to me. And to enhance the amount of people interested in what I chose to sell as a service, I need to find the people that want to help make it happen.
I think I can see my efforts starting to pay off now.
All of my life, I’ve had friends and family to come together and create fun memories with me and a camera. The best part about seeing an old tape of younger versions of ourselves from decades long gone, is the memory of happiness that it represents.
(Is it at all possible to get a PHD in happiness?)(joke?)
(I guess I’ll just write like Einstein did, and create like Walt did)
I think I am just one of many people that really just wants to specialize in happiness. Like the literal, physical thing that you can point to, see with your very eyes, listen to, experience, or hold that brings out the best in you.
To me, Cinema is that feeling, creating entertaining stories worth Billions of dollars. I’m happy with making a few bucks here and there over the years for my pursuit of my dream job (Create For A Living)+(Have A Great Time With My Loved Ones While Doing It.)
People like Adam Sandler get to do that, and I admire him for it, wish I told him when I had the chance, but was trying not to fan boy, and then almost bumped into Kevin James, so there’s that little story.
How about the deal for Wu-Tang Clan to gain creative freedom for their solo deals. It was still a lot of money for various companies, and its the way things should be, fair. If you have all your eggs in one basket, they can shut everything down all the way through the group; diversify, expand, conquer. “Greatness is Forever”.
So here’s what I am trying to do, explaining things down into the most direct way I can about what I have been trying to accomplish lately.
I am inspired, I am ready to make my existence better for everyone around me. I want to use my skills to entertain the masses, I want people to get money doing what they love, as people earn more, they have a better shot at happiness. That’s all we have to do in life, work, make money + exist. Why are we all doomed to work jobs that just bring us down, or perhaps you’re trying to create in a negative space, and need to expand your reach to achieve the greatness that you see for yourself.
I am going to be updating my site, adding all the individual services to their own pages (I had a lot of help from the A.I. Writing assistance on that site, wont lie about that). I did have final say in what I present on my site, so having it still be my voice, while strengthening my intent to make an impact with whomever reads it.
Basically the assistance helped me build faster, and I am definitely thankful for that, because I am just one person committing myself to a digital asset, the expansion of my reach with the services I have to provide.
Badges:
I have built a reward system of sorts today, badges for members on infiniteglitchsite.com. I decided to use the puzzle pieces I created a short while ago, a black piece in various stages of emptiness, or expansive. That’s where it hit me, It’s a metaphor for peoples situations in life, building inward, reaching outward.
These Badges have 4 stages.
Stage 1: Blank Slate
(Hollow)
Stage 2: Growth
(Build a solid foundation)
The empty piece has all 4 sides reach out to become a full square.
Stage 3: Expansion
(Reaching out, collaborating)
Final Stage: Completion.
(Networking+Project Completions+Education= Income)
All 4 sides are now reaching out for their intended outcome of success.
Here’s a more descriptive breakdown of what each part of the badge represents.
Stage 1: Blank Slate (Hollow)
1. Empty
(A hollowed out piece, has not built itself from the inside out)
You are a blank slate, you have to make decisions and act on them to earn your place on the team.
This will be a community of respect with collaborators within the group and beyond.
Together you will build skills and enhance your knowledge on your own topics of choice, and create a stronger foundation towards a successful outcome for people within our groups and communities.
Stage 2: Growth (Build a solid foundation)
1. Growth (Top)
(Top side solidifies)
The mind is needed to understand the choices you have in life, knowing which option you need to choose to move forward in the best way.
Eventually creating your own individual path that could potentially lead you to success for yourself and those around you.
You progress by joining groups, exploring the options within the site about your particular topics of interest to invest your time and experiences on:
(Graphic arts, Video production, business management, etc)
Becoming a member of groups is strengthening the foundation of skills within your mind, and better understanding them can then start leading to a stronger foundation of success.
2. Growth (Right)
(Right side solidifies)
This is when you begin networking with other people on the site
You build that stronger foundation by meeting potential collaborators, finding out their skillsets, and potentially adding them to your own projects to get it off the ground
3. Growth (Left)
(Left side solidifies)
Left is what you leave behind, contributing information to build knowledge to be shared amongst ourselves.
Specifically teaching a skillset, like how to use a particular app for graphic design
(No purchases mentioned here)
(Specifically free information)
(Links to websites breaking down skills)
(Writing your own text based breakdowns to explain in basic steps)
(Visual learning like infographics or videos)
(Multiple choice quizes)
4. Growth (Base)
(Bottom solidifies)
(The first step towards expansion, funding and equipment.)
Finding a good footing to move forward is important in any project or business. If we have a strong foundation to stand upon, we will then be able to reach out and achieve greater success)
This is you specifically leaving a source for equipment, or funding.
Equipment Examples:
(Go Pros, Apple or Microsoft products, paid apps, sharing links to retail sites to order equipment)
Founding Examples:
(Canada Media Funds, etc)
Stage 3: Expansion (Reaching out, creating greater success)
1. Expansion (Top)
(Sharing links with potential members)
Building the group through your own personal marketing of the group, sharing with the people you deem creative, hard working, and inventive.
2. Expansion (Right)
(Creative collaborations begin to expand, going from pre-production all the way to a final product)
3. Expansion (Left)
(After leaving information behind, you need to study the information left behind.)
This is where you can complete a 'course' created by members on the site.
Once you complete your first quiz, the left of the puzzle will expand outward, showing it reached for knowledge and understanding.
After completing any segment of growth more than once, there should be a number of the amount of times you completed a particular task, so you can prove how committed you are, as well as show off how much you contributed to success for yourself, and the other members of the team.
4. Expansion (Foundation)
(Getting paid for doing work)
Finally, making a income.
While purchasing equipment should be worth a badge, you dont know whether you purchased an asset or liability until you earn your first dollar.
So, for the final step, this badge is to show you are cementing yourself on this path by making a living utilizing your skills to pay the bill's, and live life on your own terms.
Final Stage: Completion.
(Networking+Project Completions+Education= Income)
-You have helped build the network you currently work within.
-You collaborated to make a project from 0% to 100%
-You educated yourself to utilize knowledge for success.
-You have started earning for your time and effort to build your own personal path towards success.
That had me excited today, an actual point system within the website to see someone’s contributions, in a pretty simplistic and understandable style.
Then I saw the Art Of Livin’, and stopped working on the badges.
I was then going to get back to it, and editing the website until I can promote the updates, but then decided to write all of this down.
I’ve had this calm over me for the last little while now, I had a particular business respond to an inquiry I sent the other day, and it has me excited that things are actually coming together.
Genuinely trying to build my own network where I can meet people I want to invest my time in, creating a system for everyone to understand someone’s skill sets, everyone sharing knowledge to grow collectively, drive attention towards my personal goals and aspirations to heighten my chances of achieving them, and help build other peoples dreams in the process.
Perhaps the person reading this, yes you, will join me on this journey of self discovery, over-coming obstacles, and working as a unit; like bees creating a central hub of activity, a hive.
And now, lets prepare for the #Recap.
