I can’t believe my last update was 12 days ago. I think that represents the shift I’ve been going through. I was hitting the solopreneur stuff pretty hard, then I shifted into studying for the CPA exam. Now I think it’s time for me to focus more heavily on full time employment. My burn rate through my savings is at about the 50% mark. This is the line I held mentally to shift into searching for full time work. The past few weeks I iterated on my website, got QBO certified, which led to lots of improvements to my service delivery model, then started studying for the CPA. I made some progress, but The CPA is a year long endeavor at the least. Landing clients may or may not start to happen for me, so I think I need to come down to earth for a bit and land a full time job even if I don’t want to stay there long term. I could work for my brother in law doing concrete work, or I could make twice as much doing controller work for some company I don’t care about until my solo work starts to pick up to a sustainable level. So tomorrow I’ll be calling some accounting recruiters and seeing if they have a good fit for me. Metrics will be: CPA Exam study hours: 4 hr goal Full time job search: 2 hr goal

@Jared King @Garrett McDaniel Whatcha been doin'? Can we get some updates going?!

📌 Today's Wins - I took a hot lead call today! This is my 3rd interested potential client. - I emailed him a list of questions I needed filled out before I could send a proposal. - I updated my website to include a form that asks the gating questions to pre-qualify leads. (Used typeform first, then realized it was expensive and bailed and built my own using bolt.new) - Learned how to send backend emails for free using EmailJS to pass my lead data to myself. - Book a call functionality on website is now fully functional! 🚧 Challenges/Bottlenecks - So much research to do...it's overwhelming. Every new lead is a new opportunity for me to scope it wrong, price it wrong, etc. 🏃‍♂️ Personal/Health - Push-ups today. - Bought a Cervical pillow (not for my cervix lol) to help with neck pain. 📋 Tomorrow's Focus - Build onboarding questions to ask during discovery calls. - Read the Relay Cash flow advisor E-book to determine if it's a service offering I'd like to provide.

Context: I have 6 projects I am working on before I shift to targeting HVAC companies with cold outreach. 1. Book 50 Meetings for Block & Balance (@Garrett McDaniel's business). 2. Toni's Tomagatchi (n8n AI assistant with 8 sub workflows) 3. GLAS (Gabe's Life Management Automation System) 4. Book 50 Meetings for Small Town Expeditions (waiting on negotiation meeting, Aug. 25th) 5. Enroll 100 Students for Dating Discovery (waiting on Michael to get back to me on my proposal) 6. Mast Construction --> Discovery call to be held September 6th or 7th. Probably a lead generation op. I am only actively developing the top three projects. 💰 Revenue/Financial Focus - This month: $0 - Goal: $0 - focused on fulfillment of current $0 projects / longer term payout projects (rev share deals) 🎯 Learning & Development - Course/Program: Maker School - 17% through Month 1, but on pause since I'm focusing on fulfillment right now. - Current Book: $100M Money Models babbbyyyyyy - Skill focus: Automation Process Engineering 📌 Today's Wins - Made forward progress on the 3 projects I'm currently working on. Waiting on certain things for 3 other projects. These are the 6 projects I'm focused on fulfilling right now before I shift to cold outreach campaign for HVAC. Hoping to be done with these 6 projects by no later than EO September. 🚧 Challenges/Bottlenecks - Talking with people - Overwhelm from project management. But I think I got it all ironed out and know exactly what my day by day for the next 50 days looks like. 📈 Actions Taken Project B&B: - Set up 4 custom domains for email outreach - Set up Instantly.ai and Inboxology.com accounts, for inbox warm up - Set up Apollo.io account Project TT: - Set up Notion workspace and designed database schemas - Set up and configured custom Notion integration with n8n - Waiting on Toni to download Telegram on her phone so I can set up Telegram bot and configure webhooks

I was busy in Bozeman all day so I devoted an hour to reaching out to all my potential Google reviews (past customers) and haggled them some more. Super painful 😖
