    From PTSD to Product

    EXECUTION 
    Short answer currently, no. I had been when I had sales. I have a great mark up since I manufacture my own product. Circumstances have slowed my sales to a near hault and I am trying to find solutions but my health set backs have slowed down my finding a proper answer and implementing it...

    EXECUTION 
    The struggle is real. I allowed my PTSD and depression get the best of me for the last month and a half. I refuse to give up, gotta keep pushing forward. Hopefully soon I will get my bearings and will be moving forward again. I am thankful that this time around I still am maintaining my faith...

    EXECUTION 
    Well... I haven’t given up yet! Things are still slowly progressing. Instagram and YouTube went ahead and closed a substantial number of popular influencer accounts, and so did my sales. This was also around the same time I redid my website and created a more cohesive brand identity. I...

    EXECUTION 
    Had a meeting with my mentor last week to discuss manufacturing options and next steps. He seemed pretty impressed at the progress I have made considering my extremely limited budget. I managed to pick up 3 l Instagram promoters who each have over 100k followers. 2 of which have offered to help...

    Warehouse or other options like flow.space?

    SOURCING 
    I finally have found sources for the materials needed for my product and I have been looking around at my options for storing them. I came across the site for custom warehouse and fullment needs. Flowspace is AWS for warehouses I’ve submitted for quote and was curious if anyone else has used...

    So I created a new FB page and attempted to run an ad. It was approved and then I noticed I wanted to reach a broader audience so I adjusted it. When it was reviewed a second time it was not approved. So I applied to appeal and they rejected me again. Any thoughts?

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    Just want to show my support for fasting. I juice and water fast frequently to benefit not only my physical but emotional health too. I find I think fastest and clearest when I am fasting. Glad to see there are others who enjoy it as well.

    Update: Grateful First off I have to admit to myself that the reason I am not growing fast is because I keep allowing myself to be distracted by my attachments. I'm still struggling in my personal life trying to find balance between my healing, parenting, co-parenting, and pushing myself to...

    Yes, I'm really a shepherd.

    EXECUTION 
    Are there are problems within the lamb farming industry that you could solve? You know the industry so well maybe you could create some thing they need from you because it solves a common issue rather than competing for their business. Or maybe write a book on "how to start your own farm with...

    EXECUTION 
    So I finally purchased a new shorter URL that I am able to use as my brand. Synchronicity much? Because the following day the company who's product I personally use and design my product to dispense reached out to me on Instagram. They asked if they could send me fre samples of their product...

    EXECUTION 
    So after a series of FTE leading to realizing that a large part of my PTSD is my choice of staying with my partner of 14.5 years. We’ve been slowly trying to separate for the last year but it’s making things financially worse. I had my first international order come through last night. My...

    Update time: So stars aligned in my favor this past week and I now have $2.5k to us at my discretion to grow my money tree. I am still plugging away reading unscripted and am about half way through which is HUGE progress for me. I can feel my enthusiasm increasing my ability to concentrate and...

    Unfortunately there was not a singular event. If you want to get technical I had a form of Stockholm syndrome. I was a hardass, work horse who could teach themselves anything. I was a license contractor by the time I was 20 who also was doing all of the companies marketing materials, web...

    But I need to reconsider adwords again, maybe it was an operator error on my part and I need to create better campaigns.

    EXECUTION 
    So my friend who's counsel I went to initially had me run a few adwords to begin with before I started anything. I showed him the results after and the costs for adwords were not cost effective for my product because it unfortunately doesn't have its own category in the industry yet. So it...

    EXECUTION 
    Progress... Not a whole lot of it has been made since I began in August mostly due to the fact I am recovering from severe PTSD that at times prevents me from being able to read more than a few sentences at a time. It took me weeks to finish The Millionaire fast lane but I never gave up and I'm...
