Back to business, baby. No sick, no one home, just a man and his laptop. I am truly in the arena, my friend.

What did I work on today?

Pagetear:

Revisions on a big ol’ request for an entire landing page. Pretty standard to go through a V2 of delivery on a biggie like this, and then usually that’s enough to get the copy approved. This one took me about 2 hours to finalize. The initial request didn’t contain tons of context, so I had to just wing it basically. But between my first delivery and these revisions, the client did some more research and gave me a ton more to work with. Woulda been nice before starting the task, but hey — it turned out great.

On the verge of signing another client on my newest plan, the Mini. We’ll see how this offering goes. It’s at a slower pace and only focused on one type of copy, so no variance of requests basically. Will report more later.

Ghostwriting:

I declined a new client today. Man, me from 5 years ago would think I’m nuts. But I’m in a spot where I not only CAN reject non-ideal fits, but I actually NEED to. “No” is becoming a bigger part of my job every day.

Content:

Not a ton to report. Spent a huge chunk of time working on taxes and setting up a dope finance system for the biz. More on this later.

What did I struggle with today?

Little bit of a creative and output lull this week with all the illness and whatnot. Hoping to turn it around tomorrow BEFORE the weekend so I don’t just rely on next week to save me. Trying to be a better anti-crastinator.

What did Iearn today?

I want to minimize regret as much as possible. My approach to life, work, and family to this point has been more reactive than I’d like. I’m striving for more. I want to spend my life living, not my death grieving a dull life.

What questions am I asking today?

If I zoomed forward to the end of my life, would this moment or decision I’ve made make me proud? Or would it fill me with regret?
