    What will you accomplish by end of November?

    • Create a budget for 2020 (How much will it cost for me to host this service, how much can I budget to promote this product)
    • Finish mockups!
    • Start designing prototype
    • Reach out to 5 business owners a day

    What did you do yesterday to work toward your goal?

    I did not accomplish anything yesterday

    What will you do today?

    Reach out to five businesses
    Finish my mockups

    1. 2

      I'm always curious because I have no sales background, about how other founders reach out to businesses. 5 a day seems high to me, but no doubt because it seems intimidating :) What's your normal process for reaching out, over LinkedIn, or approaching people in a coworking space, etc?

      1. 1

        Ideally you know where your target audience hang out. From there it is normally easy to find their contact info.

  2. 2

    Get first customer. Drafted followup emails for customers I speak to today. Cold call and walk-in to pitch new service for brick and mortal small business. #TGIF

      Wow good luck with the cold calling! Keep us posted on how it goes :)

    2. 1

      Cool look forward to hearing how those cold calls go. DO you have any warm leads you could reach out to first?

    What will you accomplish by end of November?
    ------

    My goal this month was / is to finish my side projects.

    • ✅ Startup Promotion List (done)
    • ⚒️ Lets Go Evolution App - App for Pokemon (in progress)
    • ✅ NerdSpot (test phase)
    • ⚒️ Finish a customer module for QUIQQER (own CMS)

    What will you do today?
    ------

    Today I made good progress with my customer module for my CMS (90% finished). But they're working on the network here today, and every few minutes it breaks. Therefore ... I have probably some time, so, I will probably go home early and play a little bit PokemonGo with my girlfriend. 😆

    1. 1

      Tell me about the evolution app! I had to do some really annoying searches recently to figure out what I wanted to work on evolving next, I'm curious to hear if it's anything related to that.

      1. 2

        My girlfriend and son plays Pokemon Let's Go Evolution. But she collected all evolution levels in a folder. (This thing with paper :D)

        As a little present I have built an app for her and my son which has everything clearly arranged as app.

    Splitting the site into an api and separate frontend. With a clean api separation, will be able to build mobile apps. Planning to be code complete with all of this by next week. Now I need to get a d&b number and create developer accounts to launch in the app store.

    So November is when I went funemployed and started to focus on building my own stuff again and supplement my income with contracting.

    This month I am focusing on building an audience, both in the sense of building an actual audience, and building Audience, an open source tool for collecting and mailing your own subscribers lists.

    I am also working on writing some blog posts and get myself out there more to collect contracting work. I've built and released Full Snack Developer to bring in work and put the domain snack.dev to use.

    Other than that I am working on my SaaS product App Metrics.
