Rhys Cooper's goals for January 2010

Tonight was the first official GAS (goal accountability session) of the year and it was off to a great start. I'd fill you in on everyone's goals, but some things in life a private, and "what is discussed at GAS stays in GAS".

I can however fill you in on what I personally set for myself as my main goal to achieve by the end of next month. As you might know, I have been making some progress on the Doo Phone deal which should secure the release of the Doo Phone software within the next couple of months. This is a huge thing for me personally and I have set myself the goal of making sure that I make sure that everything continues to move along according to plan. When there is so much to get done I feel that I need to make sure that I don't get caught up on any of the small details and keep my eye on the bigger picture which is getting the solution into the hands of the people who need it the most. This is not to say that I should move forward at all costs, I still have to make sure that I negotiate a good deal that is going to ensure the future of the project.

Tonight also got me thinking of a couple of other things that I need to make some moves on. I've been sitting on a couple of ideas that I really want to try that are based around generating a passive income with an ultimate aim of limiting the amount of risk and capital investment to as close to zero as possible. I'll talk more about this concept after I've tested it more, but basically it involves re-working the delivery of product A to consumer B by changing the point of purchase and trying to secure an ongoing distribution contract with a parent company (That sort of thing). It's my first proper idea on generating an automated passive income, not sure how it's going to go.

The second thing I have been paying more attention to lately is getting over my fear of trying to build my own personal brand through www.rhyscooper.com and starting to think about possible video blogging and an idea I have for reviewing household products from a disability usability perspective.

Still need to work on remembering to take more photos for this blog also. Word on the street is that a couple of people have looked at my site but I haven't had much love with Google Analytics, I think I'll go work on that again now.
