The day started with me getting up at 5am since I’m adjusting my sleep schedule for my upcoming trip. It didn’t feel to bad. Tomorrow will be 4am. Then 3:30am… I took my mom and stepdad to the Tower Cafe. We had gone there before but Bob hadn’t tried the Famous French Toast there yet … Read more
I got up early as I’m trying to adjust early to Central Time. It has worked before, I just have to take the initiative to go to bed early. I did some writing for my marketing email list. It is by around Thursday or Friday each week that I start to more urgently write for … Read more
My mom and stepdad returned from their cross country vacation today. I knew they had not had any good food for a while so I made meatballs and red sauce for dinner. We would normally go out but I have the online networking group. I tidied up some things, did some grocery shopping, and got … Read more
I found the networking group somewhat frustrating today. I think the frustration was around me forgetting, as I sometimes do, that no one there is my ideal customer.

I ended up making Thai curry today. It had been a while and it came out really well. Japanese eggplant is still a wonderful ingredient to use in it. I’ll have leftovers for a couple of days. Thinking about something I read last night, I made a bunch of notes for simple and short marketing … Read more
I didn’t do much today. I listened to some podcasts. I played a game. I entertained the cat. Eventually I made progress setting up my girlfriend Chris’ t-shirt selling website (selling for her Sons of Norway lodge). We are converting from selling the t-shirts she has at her house in a plastic bin to sending … Read more
I planned out work for a couple of small clients who signed up this week as well as had a call with someone from my mailing list who “raised their hand”. She answered the question on a survey I put up saying she wanted a “strategy call”. So I asked her a bunch of questions … Read more
I had a couple of calls. One with a business coach who wanted to talk. I may have some services she needs such as building web sales page and marketing emails. I’ll formalize pricing on the latter and put both on my new website. (They were on the old site but I never added specific … Read more
