Monday Stand Up! What will you get done today?

Epic
Launch https://repobox.io with full npm and composer support (on track)

Yesterday

• I checked things over and over again to get NPM package publishing online.
• Updated landing page opengraph/meta tags to make things a bit more SEO and share friendly.
• Fixed various bugs

Today

• I'm sending out the first onboarding walkthrough video and instructions to the first early access customer. This is a terrifying thing. I think I checked our error monitoring log 30 times this morning.
• Fleshing out the marketing plan a bit more

Shout Outs
Special thanks to @creativetim (specifically @alexpaduraru) for reaching out and offering some EXTREMELY helpful advice on the pricing and landing page. I plan on making a few changes and trying them out. They made the theme, uploaded it for free for everyone to use, and STILL offer really helpful advice. This is what IH is about, so cheers and all my love to Bucharest for the super helpful ethos!

AUGUST:

• Release https://trackmylift.app ! 🔥

YESTERDAY:

• Finished the add exercise functionality modal popup. This took a lot longer than expected as I ran into some flow issues and bugs with how I was dealing with data and the flow of the app. So happy with the finished feature now.
• Started on the View / Edit Workout popup / modal.
• Continued work on the User Profile section

TODAY:

• Not much today / tonight - Plan on finishing off some small niggly things and small bugs / enhancements. It's what I tend to do when I don't have a lot of time!

goodluck to @jimmylipham on the launch!

@helengriffinjr for getting it in with an hour to spare!

Late update, sue me :P

Well my epic involves launching and directly reaching out to 200 people. And I've soft launched. Product functions end to end to the point that I can start writing blog demos about it and fleshing out some documentation.

Still rough edges but it's enough that I could make some real progress. Kind of a closed beta situation right now, I haven't actually built any of the limitations on API counts or call quotas, so I've not formalized any free access tier as yet, but users can get their foot in the door, create rough APIs (documentation is nearly non-existent but forthcoming), start a subscription (I'm 100% hands on during this phase), or just reserve a username.

All in, it's a proud moment, but the real work now has to begin.

By end of August, I'll have launched early access to my Sales For Founders course, and generate $20k in presales.

I'll also have finally decided whether I want to say 'enrollment' or 'enrolment'. --> it's enrollment!

EPIC:

Launch 'early access' version of course. Generate >$20k in prelaunch revenue.

BREAKDOWN:

Week 1: Redo landing page, record testimonial videos/welcome video, write funnel emails

Week 2: Set up either free webinars or free video course

Week 3: Redo course content

Week 4: Redo course content and launch

YESTERDAY

• Did some emails and stuff

TODAY

• Wrote my newsletter
• Finally decided on "enrollment" (not "enrolment")
• Answered questions, juggled lots of little things
• Fingers crossed, but it looks like I'll make my $20k presales goal. If not by end of August, then by the start of the course on 09/09 (I pushed everything back by a week).

KUDOS

• @Janice all the best for the launch tomorrow!

Epic:
Get the first customers onboarded to Routepath to evaluate usability, functionality, and pricing

Yesterday:
Spent all of my time building out the real landing page, which will replace my Product Hunt ship one currently at https://routepath.app, feeling really good about how that looks

Today:
Preparing for a meeting I have tomorrow with some potential customers. Need to walk through the entire flow and make sure everything looks good and works well. I'd also really like to record a video walkthrough of the features, but we'll see if I can fit that in.

• Publish my Novella on Amazon to be eligible for the Storyteller Contest

• Worked 13 hours to help brother-in-law finish up HVAC installs for a school before the first day (today) and ran 7 miles before that!

• Recover from yesterday and work on web app things (keep screen from sleeping, page refresh properly)

• I don't really know what I'm doing, but just programmed v1 of an idea I've had for years. Random Hiit - An exercise app that is different every time.
