My goal for this project and any future ones is to try and make progress on it every day. That is a lofty goal. It is incredibly easy to take a day off. I could come up with a myriad of excuses as to why I did not get anything done. I may start another job, have kids, be sick, or even forget about it entirely. That is not an option. The point of starting a project is to complete it.

After day one, it is more of an exercise in trying to hold myself to a goal rather than focusing solely on the project itself.

In the past I have fallen into bad habits where I don't follow up or respond in (what I think) is a timely manner. Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of things due to life's responsibilities that seem to pile on. Creating systems

#043 - Go farther together

As my entrepreneurial career begins in earnest I am starting to gain clarity on what it means to me. I like the idea of being a solopreneur, but am starting to realize the importance of having like-minded people to work with. In the past 48 hours I have had two

#042 - Pick up the phone

I've always had trouble asking for help. For most of my life—both in school and at work—I spent too much time not asking for help when I could have really used it. Recently, I've been working on changing my mindset around this. Instead of
