Hello and welcome to my new blog, GarthScaysbrook.com. I’m excited to have you here as I embark on this journey of personal growth, skill-building, and digital entrepreneurship. If you’re a creator looking to escape the 9-5 grind and build a life of freedom and purpose, then you’re in the right place. This blog is dedicated to helping you—and myself—master one skill at a time to achieve our goals.

Why I Started This Blog

Throughout my life, I’ve had a passion for technology, software, and the endless possibilities they offer. From developing stock market software to diving into web development, I’ve explored various paths. But like many creators, I’ve faced challenges—lack of time, low confidence, and difficulty in setting clear goals. These struggles made me realise the importance of having a focused plan and the right tools to break free from the traditional 9-5.

That’s why I started this blog—to document my journey of escaping the 9-5 while helping other creators do the same. My goal is to build a better version of myself by mastering new skills and sharing everything I learn along the way. Whether it’s creating digital products, learning new technologies, or improving daily habits, this blog is a space where we can grow together.

What You Can Expect

Here’s a glimpse of what I’ll be working on and sharing with you:

1. Sharing My Journey to Help Creators Escape the 9-5

This blog is not just about my personal growth; it’s about helping you achieve the freedom to pursue your passions. I’ll be documenting my process of creating digital products, building an online presence, and generating income that can replace the traditional 9-5 job. My aim is to share practical insights and actionable steps that you can apply to your own journey.

2. Digital Product Creation

I’m dedicating one hour every day to create and refine digital products. Whether it’s a focus timer, habit trackers, or flashcards for strength training, I’ll share the entire process—from ideation to execution. My goal is to generate enough income to leave my current job, and I want to help you do the same by providing inspiration and guidance.

3. Learning and Mastering New Skills

I’m diving deep into web development, focusing on tools like Astro, Supabase, and No Code Tools to build dynamic web apps. Along the way, I’ll explore other tools and platforms that can enhance our productivity and success in the digital world. I’ll be sharing tutorials, tips, and lessons learned to help you master these skills too.

4. Weekly Goals and Focus

To stay on track, I’ve set a strategy to tackle common challenges like inconsistency and lack of direction. Using techniques like the Pomodoro timer, I’m working on creating a daily habit of skill-building and goal setting. Each week, I’ll outline specific goals and reflect on my progress, sharing insights that can help you stay focused and motivated.

5. Exploring E-commerce and Marketing

I’m passionate about digital marketing and e-commerce, and I’m excited to explore strategies that can help us sell both digital and physical products online. From building an audience to leveraging platforms like Product Hunt and AppSumo, I’ll be sharing everything I learn to help you succeed in the online marketplace.

6. Resource Directory for Creators

One of the projects I’m particularly excited about is creating a directory of resources, tools, and SaaS platforms to help creators and solopreneurs. This directory will be a valuable guide for anyone looking to enhance their productivity, grow their business, or break free from the 9-5.

Join Me on This Journey

Starting something new can be daunting, but it’s also incredibly rewarding. This blog is more than just a platform to share my journey—it’s a community where we can support each other in our quest for freedom, growth, and success.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by the traditional 9-5 or struggled to find your path, then I invite you to join me. Let’s take it one step at a time, one skill at a time, and build a life of freedom and purpose together.

Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
