Intro
It’s 2024.
I’ll begin with a quote from last year’s Q1 plan.
“A system does exactly what it’s designed to do.” -Unknown
One of the biggest takeaways from 2023, is that people who earned the $10K+ simply followed the plan. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” You can reach out to some of the higher earners in the Slack Group, everyone is happy to help. As long as you don’t stray from the path and you ask questions and take action, you’ll have an excellent opportunity for success in this game.
Here’s some of the highlights from 2023:
Mission Statement and Flexible Roadmap
A reminder for all the new joiners what the BowTiedBum mission is:
Help every single person who subscribes to the paid Substack hit $10,000+ Wi-Fi money via credit card churning and manufactured spending. Every single person who subscribes to the paid stack should be able to hit $10,000 at an absolute minimum. Many will hit a much bigger number. The goal is to help the jungle earn a collective $1M by the end of 2023 (already hit), $100M by 2028, and $1B by 2035. That’s 100 users in 2023 (hit), 10,000 by 2028, and 100,000 by 2035.
Since we’ve had some bums who have been here for a full year now, this roadmap will offer some flexibility depending on what stage of the game you are in.
This year, we’ll be doing things a bit differently. We’ll have a Q&A in the comments for 72 hours after each quarterly plan is dropped. After that, you’ll be able to ask further questions (as always) in the Slack Group.
