Hey folks, it's been quite a while since I posted a progress thread. I quit my job recently to go all in. I have a runway of several years from squirreling away every dime I made from my job plus the handful of dollars from side projects. Now it's time to buckle down and get things figured out.

I don't post often but when I do, I try to provide value to the community (with only the slightest of ulterior motives). So, before diving into what I'm working on, I'd like to give out a few offers.

First - I'm working on a coaching service around helping people structure and finish their goals. I've yet to run the 1:1 part of the program through anyone other than family and friends, so I'd like to expand that offer to the fine folk here. I won't charge you. Only trying to learn the best and fastest ways to provide value. If you're having a hard time making progress or even getting started on your goals, get in touch. I want to help you!

If you want a little more information about the program I'm working on, you can find it here: 4 Week Goal Challenge - How To Happy

Don't sign up for coaching on the site, it will charge you - just message me and we can work out times.

Second - I've written a book about providing good customer service and losing the shitty attitude. It won't fit many of the folk here as it's directed at customer service agents, but it may be something useful for your CS employees.
You can find a link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X181GJ9/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20.
Or, there's a udemy course version here: Surviving Customer Service - Udemy

DONT BUY THEM - Message me if you want a copy of the book and the course coupon should work to make it free.


Finally, this is the site I've been working on: How To Happy

I'm sure it's nowhere near optimal, so feel free to rip it apart (or any of these projects, really). I encourage the feedback, even if it's negative. One ask, please try to make feedback as specific and actionable as possible. If you just write 'it's garbage' I probably won't respond - I have no idea what that means nor how to fix it. Alternatives or tools I can use would also be helpful, I've been slogging through building a site learning as I go - so I'm sure I'm missing all kinds of important details.

Also, I know a decent amount about Youtube SEO from one of my other projects. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer you. Or really, if you think I can help answer any questions of yours let me know.

Next steps for me this month:
  • Continue getting reviews/buying ads for my book
  • Create an audiobook version of my book
  • Establish a regular coaching clientele, and gain testimonials (For extra $$ and to test my ideas while I create more automatic ventures)
  • First draft of a new book I've been working on in the same niche
  • Work up another 5 weeks of blog content (I do +1 week per month so I keep getting further ahead)
  • Get more integrated into this community, as well as local entrepreneurship groups - my old connections aren't cutting it now that I'm serious about this stuff.
Let me know if I can do anything for y'all. Cheers!
