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.
As thrilled as I am about the significant progress I’m making with Siren, it’s hardly in a place to replace my income, and the simple reality is that building a business like this is a long, slow grind that I’m happy to do, but takes time In the meantime, I need to have a source of income, and considering I decided to take a plunge back into running an agency.

Working on plugin deployment flows today in-between meetings. So grateful I abstracted all of this out in a way I can re-use it.

Yesterday I set up a WordPress plugin for outsourcing, initiated a new site build, and had a good call with getting Siren content published more reliably. Today I am going to work on a different plugin. Super busy, but starting to get into a rhythm.

I recognize that I need a virtual assistant, but I actually have no idea how to use one. 🤔

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:
Need to get the content machine going for Siren Affiliates. I have content, just haven’t scheduled it 🥲.

Nudged a few projects forward this morning, and now I’m heading off to find some kind of breakfast and…omg coffee. I need coffee. This place has good coffee somewhere, right? Where should I go?
