    EXECUTION 
    It's been a few weeks, so I want to take this half hour here at the end of my work shift to think out loud a little bit... This is gonna be a super ugly text wall because I did it as an unordered list, so maybe later, when I get home, I'll edit this to be less painful to read. Dating Coach I...

    EXECUTION 
    I anticipated having some difficulty getting my messaging across without generalizing myself; that's why I haven't bothered with paid ads. What I didn't anticipate was how strict some of these communities are, even when I'm not advertising my service or using explicit/inappropriate language...

    EXECUTION 
    Got a quiet moment at work. Not enough time to do something meaningful, but probably enough time to provide a bit of an update. Dating Coaching Starting to stagnate a bit. In addition to being banned from Quora, I was banned from commenting on r/dating, because they have a rule against dating...

    EXECUTION 
    Compared to what I've tried with previous businesses? I'm selling something I believe in. This is something I'm very good at, which I enjoy doing, where I'm solving problems for others that I've solved for myself, while living in rather embarrassing circumstances. I treat GenAI tools as...

    EXECUTION 
    Dating Coaching Hit a little bit of a snag today. Tried to log into my Quora account to answer some dating-related questions after having spent some time on Reddit doing just that, but realized my account had been banned. It doesn't tell me the reason or refer me to the answer that caused it...

    Dating Coaching All 3 clients who committed have paid, and I have officially made more money with this than with lawn care. Lawn Care String trimmer bundle sold.

    EXECUTION 
    Dating Coaching Finally got a payment processor working. After fiddling around with PayPal for far too long, I decided to look at alternatives. Stripe won't let me collect payments due to the nature of my business, so I just went back to QuickBooks. My free client has already paid, and the 2...

    EXECUTION 
    I auto-record all the calls, so I have all those positive moments as videos I can clip up to use as testimonials. He's already given me permission to reference him. He also intends to leave a positive review on the thread I made on that forum to advertise my service. Good start so far :thumbsup:

    EXECUTION 
    Dating Coaching My free client for the past month will be converting to a paid client. During that month, I helped him close (I guess I'll use this word in lieu of "get laid") 1 new woman for each of the first 2 weeks (the first of which came after a 6-week dry spell), as well as lose 10lbs...

    EXECUTION 
    Small(er) update. Dating Coaching My free client met a new woman and got laid after just 1 week of working with me. We had our weekly Zoom call this past weekend, and I made sure to record that early win to use as a future testimonial. He's happy with how things have been going so far, and is...

    EXECUTION 
    That's a good point. I just thought it might be a good idea not to make that information so easy to find early on. I don't know how other banks handle it, but this method would take longer and be more expensive than alternatives. When I established a business account for the lawn care, I had...

    EXECUTION 
    Alright, it's been a little while, so I want to provide some updates. I meant to do this much earlier today, but we had a neighborhood-wide blackout for most of the day; the Delmarva Power trucks just left about an hour ago. Anyway, I don't know how I want to structure these updates; whether to...

    No, thank you.

    How do I stop being so sh** at this?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK RANT 
    Yep, that's the value skew. I've been trying to post in r/dating_advice and r/AskMen in an AMA format, but both places moderated it for differing reasons. r/seduction seems to be more open-minded about explicit topics, so that's where I'd try next. I spent a lot of time on ChatGPT and that is...

    How do I stop being so sh** at this?

    MINDSET FEEDBACK RANT 
    Well the big picture would be to create a men's self-improvement personal brand that focuses on coaching personality traits and skills; fitness, confidence, seduction, etc. There's a lot of snake oil salesmen and fake it till you make it types in this space, so I'd lean on being genuine in a sea...
