    EPIC

    By end of 2019:

    5K MR

    By end of March:

    • Launch 12 March 2019.
    • Publish 18 articles. (18/18 determined, 6/18 written, 0/18 published)
    • Conduct 3 landing page experiments with a minimum CTR of 2.69%.
    • Increase organic growth from 0 to 11 persons.
    • Persuade an additional 15 influencers to contribute posts. (8/15)

    TRIUMPHS & CONCERNS

    Still a bit of guilt for abandoning Happy Endings for the month of March. But I also feel more aligned with my end of year epic. This week I will start to see if my new endeavor shows more promise than Happy Endings.

    REQUEST FOR FEEDBACK:

    None.

    ON TRACK?

    Yep. And just slightly ahead. By the end of this week, I'll have launched and laid the groundwork for the first experiment.

      Feels good to be ahead! Burn hard through the next 2!

    2. 1

      What do you mean by “Increase organic growth from 0 to 11 persons”?

      1. 1

        (Smiling) Growth that's not from paid ads or IH! I launch on Tuesday.

      Re: “I need to get a handle on my schedule overflow, day job was very consuming this week”

      Maybe prioritize doing 1 small task that has an important huge impact per workday. Anything else is extra icing on the cake 🍰 only if you baked the cake 🎂 (completed the small task) as a test. Maybe this is not the time to do crazy amount of work but quality work to move the needle.
