Assignment #1: The automation I built will help my business by giving me an up to date refocus on where I need to direct my energies, on what's hot and what's not. It will help me research my competitors to find the holes in the marketplace that I can fill to gain marketshare. It helped me to get inside the head of my potential clients and where to find them. Excellent!
Assignment #2: My biggest challenge building this automation was my own personal focus and here's how I solved it... Having a strict deadline to perform or be removed from the group really helped as did putting down the phone and staying on topic with each module until I was finished. My car was in the shop for a few days so I used the opportunity to stay home and work on this until completion! No work until this work was finished!
