Day 18: Building on the Foundation — 180 Days to Grow My Portfolio Career
Being a Beginner…
You know that feeling of starting something completely new? That’s where I am with this AI animation journey. It’s been interesting, but definitely challenging. I’m still figuring out the best workflow and hoping it all pays off in the end. I won’t lie — there’s a lot of pressure this week. My 9–5 is busy, and getting a handle on these AI videos is no small task. But I know it will get better with time and practice.
Let’s talk about being a generalist for a moment. People often say that entrepreneurs are generalists, and I think it’s a good place to be. You’re adaptable, not afraid to take on new challenges, and always learning new skills. Don’t mind me, just hyping myself up here because why not?! LOL.
I’m a bit behind on my book reading and hope to catch up tomorrow. I got distracted with video and marketing activities, plus I need to map out some high-level plans for the direction I’m taking my businesses (on my to-do list this week)
Oh, and exciting news — I joined a business group today! One of my goals this year was to connect with more builders and entrepreneurs, both online and offline. This journey is as much about the people you meet as it is about the projects you work on, so I’m excited to see where this new network takes me.
Lesson Learned
Today reminded me that being a beginner isn’t just about struggling — it’s also about growth and discovering new strengths. Whether you’re tackling AI animation or joining a new business group, the key is to stay open to learning and adapting. Every step, no matter how small, is progress.
