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:
- 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 🥲.

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?

I’ve been working fleshing out the “service side” of the business a bit. Instead of building an agency site, I’m leaning into my personal branding for this.

Celebrating an exciting win today! Siren Affiliates got its first 100% organic sale today. The visitor found me from a search engine, and decided to buy. No affiliates, no email list, no campaign, nothin’. Just good ol’ fashioned SEO. 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve sold several licenses since launching, but this is the first time that one just happened using nothing but SEO, and my website. REALLY exciting!

Just did my first full-time payout for myself from my own business. Leaning heavily into the Profit First. I’m using YNAB to implement the approach, since it’s what I know already. Kinda fun to see the carefully planned strategy pan out.
