Reflecting on an Eventful Start to 2023: My Month in Review
Written on
Chapter 1: A Thrilling Start to 2023
The beginning of 2023 has been quite an exhilarating journey for me. I felt compelled to document this experience, achieving two goals simultaneously: completing my writing task for the week while organizing the ideas that have been swirling in my mind without much clarity.
If you appreciate my work, you can support me through my PayPal profile. A small gesture, like buying me a coffee, would be greatly appreciated! 😊 Please let me know if you do, as your support means a lot to me.
This month has presented me with a mix of personal highs and lows—nothing too severe, but life has certainly kept me on my toes.
Section 1.1: Business Ventures
On the business front, I’ve been consistently posting content on my blog in both English and Spanish. I recently launched a Medium publication focused on baseball in Mexico, successfully maintaining a weekly posting schedule throughout January—four weeks in a row! I'm quite proud of this accomplishment.
Additionally, the data visualization project I've been developing, now named eldatomx.com, is gaining momentum. I'm inspired by the work done by FiveThirtyEight, and I aim to create something similar but with a focus on Mexican data. The project even has its own Twitter profile, where I share fascinating population density maps. If you're interested, feel free to check it out and perhaps give me a retweet or two!
Section 1.2: Future Goals
Looking ahead, I’m eager to secure advertising for my project and continue posting engaging content. I anticipate it will take a month or two to see significant growth, but I’m determined not to let setbacks discourage me. If anyone has tips on business strategies, I would love to hear from you, as I’m still learning the ropes.
Another idea I've been pondering involves launching two or three additional projects—possibly an app, digital products, or even merchandise related to eldatomx. This approach could provide me with backup plans in case my primary venture doesn’t pan out.
One exciting prospect is starting an online radio station. I have a few friends passionate about music, and collaborating with them would be a dream come true.
While I'm also interested in the gaming industry, I recognize that this path may take longer. My motivation stems from a talented friend I met during a game development course, and if I pursue this, I would want him on my team.
Chapter 2: Personal Aspirations
The video titled "What an eventful year 2023 has been for us! Let's get ready for a 2024" captures the essence of my reflections on the year. It provides insights into my journey and aspirations as I navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
In other aspects of my life, I'm contemplating registering for my second Ironman 70.3, scheduled for November in Los Cabos, Mexico. My first experience in Cozumel last September was a positive one, and I’m excited to take on this new challenge with a friend.
Lastly, I’ve been swamped with various commitments, which has delayed my plans to write coding-related blog posts. However, I’m inching closer to that goal, and I anticipate that February may be the time for it.
