Projects are progressing. Developers are gaining velocity. Writers are writing. Sales pipeline and video editing is all set up. It’s been a heck of a process, but every day that passes I feel more confident that I am ready for this. Let’s GO.

Voted this afternoon, and now it’s time for lunch. I woke up at the top of the witching hour and couldn’t get back to sleep. When that happens I don’t fight it – I just start early and end early.

I have 2 more developers (perhaps 3?) starting next week, so my Friday consisted of documenting the Novatorius discovery process and making sure they’re all set when they get started.

Today is mostly about Siren. I hosted a podcast interview with Katie Keith today about affiliate marketing and now I’m fixing a bug in Siren.
Throw in a couple client meetings, and some code reviews, and that just about sums up the day.

Today is mostly about budgeting and finance. I pay myself on the 10th and 25th, and lean into Profit First ideology.
If I have time, I’ll probably get moving on a project I won earlier this month. I have a few retainers I kinda need to organize.
Oh, and Siren 🥰

Published a podcast episode today, and scheduled another one two weeks from now. I’ll be working on next week’s on Thursday, I think.
Also met with some people who I hope will be able to work with me soon!
Feels really good to start finally getting back to “normal” after becoming self-employed again.

Today’s goals:
- PR reviews for open projects
- Submit quotes for website build & a really fun API integration project
- Review developer applications
Need to get the content machine going for Siren Affiliates. I have content, just haven’t scheduled it 🥲.

I had back to back meetings pretty much all day today. Talking with new Siren customers in 1:1 calls, had a call with my coach, and even recorded a podcast interview. My brain is so full right now!

Today is all about Siren‘s content strategy. I’ve been a little behind with content because of the LifterLMS launch. Thankfully I have someone helping me, and I’m hoping to start batching the podcast so I can get that moving more-consistently. I’ve started taking on guests for the podcast, too, which WOW there have been some fantastic insights already.

I’m working on the launch documentation for Siren. I’m pretty comfortable with video, so I decided a great place to start is by building a getting started course using Lifter LMS. I think that’ll translate into text fairly fast.
