Stand Up: Who's hustlin' this Saturday?

By end of August, I'll have proven whether my online course was a one hit wonder or a source of recurring revenue.

EPIC
Launch evergreen course and sales funnel, earning 5K in revenues.

BREAKDOWN

Week 1: Complete scripts. (3 of 5 completed)
Week 2: Complete filming and email funnels.
Week 3: Complete website.
Week 4: Launch and respond to queries.

LAST NIGHT

• Finish script #2.
• Finish script #3.
• Start research for email funnel tools.
• Booked MUA.

THIS MORNING

Not much as I'm camping this weekend. But hope to get one more script written enroute, before I'm off the grid.

KUDOS

@helengriffinjr? Would you be willing to do the stand up honors tomorrow? @Davey Where the hell are you?

EPIC

• 50 subs to my personal blog (2 / 50)

YESTERDAY

• Got a boost of motivation and finished my blog post on IPFS gateway benchmarking; waiting to publish it after I can do a final review on it though

TODAY

• Not much, since I'm packing for a move up to Hanover NH (driving up tomorrow)
• I will likely be MIA starting tomorrow till Aug 10th because I'll be moving / going camping!

KUDOS

• @louisswiss for showing up!
• @Harlem woot woot - I'm going camping as well :)

OTHER NOTES
I'm not sure how I got the first two subs. I haven't even advertised the subscription feature on my website. This isn't me complaining though!

Till I get my infrastructure up and running to automate the subs updates, I'm likely just going to manually shoot out emails when I post something new. Ex. for my upcoming post on IPFS gateway benchmarking.

The big wrench in all of this is that I'm moving tomorrow (Aug 4th) and will be out in the woods from Aug 5th - Aug 9th with no internet. It'll be good to unplug, but I want to make sure I push most post out before I head into the woods. Otherwise I'll have that nagging voice in the back of my head the entire time.

Epic

Build all of the premium features I have planned for the launch of subscriptions, then launch subscriptions

Yesterday

Didn't accomplish anything. We are selling our house and had a showing yesterday so that sort of threw a wrench in all my work plans yesterday.

Today

Just finished a webinar on using Notion. I plan to organize that a little bit and then I have a few tasks for the premium features that I wanted to have done by the end of this week that I'll be working on.

KUDOS
@bjames @harlem for reminding me how much control I have over myself.

SIDE NOTE
Realized a simple email was sufficient enough to trigger an action and response from my prospect. Everything else was ego-driven and had nothing to do with helping the prospect decide what’s best for them. Plus it was causing me to waste time.

EPIC

Reach MVP

BREAKDOWN

Week 1: Tools week - I've got several additional tools in mind, I'm going to try to get at least two of them completed by the 8th. I'm also going to be fixing a couple of issues I've noticed with the current tools. I'll also add client side input validation, I'm only doing server side validation right now.

Week 2: Writing Week: Troubleshooting flow-chart and/or checklist, a couple of articles for the notes section

Week 3: Do some basic SEO, keywords, sitemaps, etc. More tools work or writing as time allows.

Week 4: Finalize the look and feel of the website, any design changes should be minor at this point. Explore some of the paid ideas I've been kicking around.

LAST NIGHT

• Started working on fixing a small issue with the subnet calculator, I'm really caught up on accuracy, so I ended up getting extremely side-tracked. I ended up submitted a pull request to fix an issue with how multicast addresses are handled in the ipaddress module in the python standard library. I spent a lot of time last night reading RFCs to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding.

This Morning

• Hung out with my wife, went for a long run, cooked breakfast

TONIGHT

• Put in a workaround for the issue I noted in the ipaddress library
• Start working on the DNS Propogation tool

KUDOS

@Harlem and @Aadhi for spending time outdoors, I missed my yearly backpacking trip and it's really wearing on me.

I'm not really working today, but thought I'd say hi just to keep the streak of updates going :)
