KUDOS
@Taormina on redesigning Danger World homepage. It’s way better!

@DavidGetchel on getting the final touches done w/ novella!

SIDE NOTE
Original EPIC was in revenue... by Aug 27th I got my first booking aka a signed contract that books service to be rendered. Got word from my pilot customer that they're not ready to begin right away. Understandable reasons but factors that are out of my control this sale is not going to be realized in revenue today. I'm ok w/ that because both the value of the contract and opportunity is worth the wait.

In August, I rediscovered myself and identified a problem and market I'm suited to care about and help. That in itself has relieved a lot of stress.

I think I'm going to take the weekend off. I'll iterate/update my MVP messaging, website and emails next week. A sistah is sleepy 😴 😂

EPIC:
Find the MVP for LocalChef.pro

• Fixed some issue with the landing page again

TODAY:
Begin to read the book Rocket Surgery Made Easy - The do-it-yourself guide

KUDOS:

• @DavidGetchel for being at the last step of writing the novel!
