Metrics From The Week
Snaps From The Week
Recovery/Energy
Kinda been feeling that yellow recovery every day lately
Sleep routine has still been meh
Workouts have been okay
Friday? I went to workout in the morning and just hit this wall mid-workout and bailed early. My theory was that the dust from the construction next door was starting to affect me, but I was also just weirdly tired that day.
So those ~80% sleeps are pretty accurate. Enough, but not quite into the wake up and feel super laser focused. Just more like wake up, feeling a little tired, but can still focus.
The SignalOS Workshop
WE DID IT
Ran the workshop on Monday exclusively for this community (member’s club + two Skool communities) I’m a part of.
There were maybe ~8 people or so that showed up. For the size of the communities, I was hoping for a bit more to be honest, but it was challenging because I wasn’t able to get a hold of the owner to put the event as a proper Skool event which would’ve blasted to everyone.
Other than that, I was super pleased with how it went. To be honest I had 1-to-many teaching, speaking into the voice of presentations, but some people had their cameras on and I was seeing them react and nod. Then for a good chunk of the workshop I had some engagement activities, so people were writing their answers in the chat. THAT felt way better, and was getting a lot of people responding (5 or 6?) to be able to go off of.
It ended up being exactly 90 minutes which was perfect, plus some time for Q&A at the end, plus some time starting a bit late waiting for people. 2 hrs in total.
And then I also got permission to make an offer at the end for anyone that wanted to go deeper into the answers that came up, free 1-1 call, only at the end of that if it made sense would we talk about my program. Felt good and not pushy.
And booked 1 call immediately after that.
And then in my followups the next ~2 days two more people booked calls.
And then had those calls, and two out of the three signed on! Let’s goooooooooo
Those two are part of the inner most community but I’ve actually never met or talked to them, so they were kind of cold-ish too.
I was kind of shocked tbh.
And my biz coach was pumped… A workshop with 8 people… booked 3 calls from it… and sold 2 people. He was like imagine what’s gonna happen when you have 40 people on the workshop.
And it was that reframe where I started to think “holy shit… this is gonna be big…”
Biz
I’ve been hesitant to share how good/bad things are going publicly on these blog posts and have tended to keep it a bit short if I do.
But every moment I stop to reflect on the last two months, I’m just kind of shocked at how much has changed and how amazing things are going right now.
After I did a bunch of reach outs, I was kinda like “yeah but…”, like yeah but I’m part of this community and I just kind of got lucky. My content still isn’t really working. Can I really do it again?
And then I did this workshop and that voice of like “yeah but…” is a bit more quiet now… I’ve got some changes to make to the workshop, but now I have this asset that seems to work in giving enough actual value and it’s targeted at a specific type of person and problem that I continue to find and validate in this market.
I met a guy at a friend’s dinner this week, was chatting about what we do and he was like “so yeah that pushing off the work thing that you said, that’s me haha”
So the brain is like… “soooooo… what if you just ran the workshop again?” and I’m like “huh… yeah… what if…”
And then you stack on top of this, my most ideal client right now happens to be getting the best results. And same as one of my other clients. He was like “did you create all this stuff yourself?” Yep.
I spent my own little Pulling The Thread block last week going through a bunch of improvements, updated some frameworks, ideas, tweaked some things, came up with some new ideas for commitments and actions. Worked past lunch, didn’t go to the gym, it was a proper Pulling The Thread loop 😂
So anyways, things are going really a lot better than I expected. And all of this is downstream from basically two decisions… saying yes to go to this random business mastermind… and saying yes to finally asking for help.
I cannot wait to see where I take this… It’s hard to project that far forward because a lot of this is new territory and unknowns I’m walking into, but just based on the feedback and actual results I’m seeing in the real world, I think I’m onto something here.
Social
The “Party”
Went to the Saturday community brunch again. But this time something was different.
I didn’t really realize in the morning, I noticed I was a little more tired than usual, but nothing crazy.
When I showed up, I talked to a couple people, but then felt that kind of awkward social party feeling and the “introvert” desire to go stand by the wall. I sat down and kind of “waited” to start even though I knew it would be another like 30 minutes of just people hanging and chatting.
I talked to a couple other people sitting there and that’s when it hit me of just this kind of overwhelming overstimulated feeling. I was like “wow I really don’t like this and don’t want to be here right now.” My social battery was at about 3%…
It was very loud in there, lots of people chatting, and kind of gave me this PTSD-style feeling/flashback of nights out, parties, where I’m trying to have a conversation with someone and like shouting at the top of my lungs “YEAH SO IM FROM BOSTON BUT THEN I MOVED TO COLORADO” “WHAT SORRY I DIDNT HEAR YOU” 😂😅
I survived long enough, but then went home after and spent the rest of the day alone recharging 😅
Haven’t felt that specific feeling in a little while, it was interesting.
The Other One
Contrast that with last weekend, went to this friends birthday dinner and WOW I felt amazing. Mindset, attitude, was SUPER social, flowy, confident, having fun, laughing, playful. I went with a little hesitation of “alright just show up for a bit” but I left having enjoyed it a lot more than I was expecting.
Lawn Chair
Went to this cafe for lunch and as I walked in, saw this girl on her way out at the register that was very much my type.
I went through the usual flow “wow” -> “what if you said something” -> “I could say that…”, except it wasn’t long enough to get to that stage of actually envisioning walking over and saying something. Couldn’t get myself to do it.
But then there was this other girl that on her way back to her table we made eye contact and she smiled. I was like huh… and starting thinking…
I was pretty tired that day. So after I finished I packed up and my curiosity thought to sneak a peek one more time just in case. I threw my bag on my back and looked over and she was looking at me again (sitting with a group of friends).
And it was in that moment I just froze and walked away. I folded like a lawn chair. I couldn’t do it. Walked over to pay and leave and was like fahhhhkkkkk I couldn’t do it man.
Went home and napped 😂
