When no niche is a niche

I started this journey as a content creator to be a personality poster, like pewdiepie, markiplier, and jacksepticeye. Back when YT had become a big craze and many that used the electronics to get into the partner program was just a pipe dream. I've watched countless individuals rise and fall as social media influencers and it has only gotten crazier, and to think I used to be jealous of this concept. Now that I'm starting my own journey it's far from any level of influence, but what should I be doing?

I didn't start when I was younger so being a personality just didn't seem right but is slowly becoming more of a comfort to be who I am. I've had an interest in film and production for years, but never took my first steps. That's where this site comes into play. I've never been one to just sit and do one task for hours or days on end. As Elon Musk has said at least once, ' It's like having explosions go off in your head constantly. ' Of course, this is likely paraphrased, but the point is that I've learned to not sit and get better at one thing. I'm building a multi-layered, multi-tiered business that feeds itself. I think back on a history lesson taught back in the 6th-grade public education setting. I don't remember the particular lesson, but I do remember a chart explaining the concept of a monopoly and how the currency used in an economy is dictated by the actions of a controlling entity adjusting prices without competition. Monopolies were depicted as slightly evil and I kept looking at the chart explaining this, but one thing just stood out.

Monopolies were the horizontal aspect of the grid-like structure of the graphic seen in the history book. Why not look at the verticle instead though. Instead of owning the business that controls the flux of goods and services, why wouldn't an individual look at the whole process from product extraction through processing AND retail services? In a way, Elon Musk is doing just that. Tesla manufactures reliable e-vics that can be used for the Boring Company. At the same time, SpaceX is taking over communications for each tesla and making transportation an even smaller necessity. Goodbye commercial airlines and horizontal landing strips. Now neuralink is a different story, but still a communication company nonetheless. These four companies combined basically create the foundations for each aspect of commercial transportation and directing communication. He owns the price point for each aspect connecting to one another. This is an idea behind owning the entire commercial process vs a monopoly on a single idea. Only recently did the company start to include commodities into their portfolio which is what this post leads into.

What ideas am I creating that link together? The starting point is first and scariest to start with is the competitive, compassionate, not so charismatic personality of jackslate999. I've played video games for most of my life as an outlet, but now it is turning into a foundation for my interests in pursuit of life. I don't have a direction or goal for this side of my life. I simply enjoy pushing others to make things happen and enjoy seeing the excitement that competition brings. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE LOL. jackslate999 is the same Gamertag I've had for over half my life and although it may not be significant to many, it's the name I want to have others remember when they see my face. That's why it's the centerfold to brand affiliation with my name and style of creation. What product or service can I offer to others that will stick and be kept. This easiest route to go on is clothing. The market has made printing personalized shirts a breeze for individuals building their influence. I see so much more opportunity in simpler commodities, but we all have to start somewhere.

The next option is where I come from and where to go from here. As a blast to my past would suggest, I come from a farm country. Smack dab in the middle of Montana in a small town no one thinks exists unless you're from there of course lol. Why is this important? I never wanted to be a farmer, but I've begun to learn the value of having space to raise and nurture your own food supply. Branding my abode as Lyons Den and paving my path to attain personalized sustainability is just the first step. I studied the concept of permaculture for nearly a decade and added it to my foundations in pursuit of lifestyle monetization. In short, I want to create the one thing I've never had. Abundance exceeding my comforts. In creating a design that allows for my house to overproduce. I feed myself, my family, my land, and then my community. I want to see that all over the world, but it starts in my backyard. Create a life you don't need a vacation from and it will only boost your capacity to learn and grow more with age. This, in theory, extends life and creates a healthier alternative to the 9-5 retire at 60 die at 70 mentalities. It won't be easy, but I never asked for easy. I asked for possible. Let's make it happen.

My current third option has been on the fritz for years. I've always had a lot to say, even if it wasn't entirely coherent. I can babble for hours if the interest is high. I might as well start my own podcast in the process as I'm learning that teaching solidifies knowledge gained. I'm not the most experienced, but that shouldn't hold me back from learning what I can to give to others in return for your time. I want to leave behind my history while preserving what it was like for generations of my heritage to come. Knowing who your family was has been a big part of having an interest in history. Not American history, not world history, nothing that the government education system can offer. Knowing who I was 200 years from now is as important to me as me knowing further back than my great grandparents. Sadly I know little beyond their name. This is why The Don Has Spoken is formed.
