I completely finished the data analysis product including the text and pricing for my web page that describes / advertises it. Now I can unveil it to the other company that thinks they can sell something like that to their own clients and subcontract through me.

The potential client from yesterday realized she mis-read my pricing and is available to afford me so as soon as some payment comes in, I’ll get started. I did a mixture of relaxing and working on a data analysis product for my company. It’s a way to display information about visitors to a website that … Read more
I had a good walk and I think felt pretty good. I woke up free of the effects of the vampire from the day before. I also ran across someone who was asking for help with her website for money on one of the local discussion boards I follow. I emailed her back directly and … Read more
Networking group left me feeling drained. I eventually narrowed it down to someone I met at the group yesterday whom I was also talking with today. I believe he is an energy vampire.

I managed to extend my walk to 4.5 miles today and saw some outrageously large houses with … Read more
It was very windy outside and while I wanted to try out new shoes I got yesterday, I didn’t want to walk outside. Instead I went over to one of the shopping malls in town and tried walking there. It was pretty boring and I only made it a mile. There are lots of unattractive … Read more
I took a nice 4.4 mile walk and then went to the farmers market. The rest of the day I spent going through a course I bought on Google AdWords. The potential client for whom we are building a proposal needs advertising services and I need to become an expert in that area. What I’ve … Read more
I did some errands in the morning and then did work and some more research related to our 1pm meeting. The meeting with the potential client went very well, I’m impressed. Because it is business that is “in progress” and not solely my deal, I don’t want to say a lot here except: It seems … Read more
