Where In The World Was I?

  • 🇮🇩 Canggu (Bali, Indonesia)

Metrics From The Week

Snaps From The Week

I successfully ordered and received my first Tokopedia online order. 2 years ago my parents shipped a letter to me from the U.S. that… never arrived. So I was a bit skeptical, but my Tokopedia order did indeed arrive!

My headphone ear pads were VERY smelly… 😅 I figured out I can just get the ear pads replaced without getting new headphones. Sony WH-1000XM3 still going strong after 5 years!

Business

Inbound

In talks with a new potential client around goal setting, creating a vision, structure & organization, finding what he truly wants to do, purpose, etc.

It was fun to catch up and chat. We ended the conversation and he went “man, that last part, it just got so much more clear for me.” 🙂

The Focus

The big focus right now has been content, specifically short form Instagram Reels and posts. I’ve been working on just getting this system and flywheel started.

I would say not all of my content is focused on problems right now, it’s a lot of lifestyle content. This is something a friend reflected to me.

My response was that right now I’m focused on just getting this all started up. Anything marginally helpful is good. Gimme a couple weeks and I’ll start ratcheting back into more specific value content.

## Content Strategy
So let me re-process this here. This is my strategy and goals so far.

What's my goal for creating reels, just generally:
- Pull new people into my world, organic growth.
	- Currently I'm doing nothing on social media that's pulling new people into my world. The only "growth" I'm getting is from in-person networking here.
	- I've just been posting stories and the occasional feed post. But all personal stuff. The stories have become more business/coaching focused in the last month.
	- All the best avenues to do this? Instagram content (reels, posts), YouTube videos, and in-person.
		- Instagram reels/posts -> what I've started doing now
		- YouTube videos -> the next avenue to explore
		- In-person -> still doing here and there, maybe not AS focused for this last month in Bali

What kind of people?
- I would say ideally, my target avatar. That would be best case scenario. Like-minded, struggling with the things I've overcome.
- So that... I can coach them.

So, to summarize. The goal for reels: organic growth, pull new people, people that are my target avatar, into my world (my Instagram content), so that I can move them through my funnel into my coaching offer.

Great.

The other part of this is the actual _process_. Making videos > Not making videos. Burning out = bad.
- So for this "start up" phase, just creating anything, anything that pulls people into my world, I think is beneficial. As long as it's on-brand with my "lifestyle design" umbrella.

Then maybe in 2 weeks, we start focusing more on the content strategy from Inner Circle: Teach, Share, Show, Give, Share.
- I just want to not be stuck anymore. I want flowing over not flowing.

Audio Sync…

One of the videos from this week was a video specifically on my fitness transformation and around the consistency of just showing up. I made the video in the Instagram in-app editor, cutting the clips to the music, but when I scheduled it I realized the audio suddenly was out of sync.

So I re-created the entire video again, making sure the music was perfectly synced. Re-scheduled it… then discovered AGAIN that the music was out of sync.

Apparently this is a know issue with the Instagram editor… Which was very frustrating to discover…

But I was walking out of Tribal one day and ran into a friend that showed me the Instagram-made Edits app. I downloaded it and realized the music sync issue doesn’t happen there! My savior.

So I spent ANOTHER hour re-creating the video a third time…

But it was worth it. Very proud of that video.

Mastermind Ideas

A friend approached me this week and invited me to run a talk or session at this mastermind next week, part of a new thing they’re running for this organization.

It was interesting to reflect on this and decide what exactly I could or would do there… I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a specific and concise topic or subject I could “teach” on…

While a lot of things have come up, I’m not quite sure anything has risen to the level that I’ve felt aligned with.

The other option was to run a Tribal Solutions type of space, something I’ve been continuing to run at Tribal!

I’ll let you know how it goes in next week’s post.

But this question has been an interesting indicator, a thread that’s pulled on something deeper.

My favorite space to play in is inside 1-1 conversations, where I can learn and understand peoples’ situations deeply and guide through that. Giving talks or speeches or workshops is a bit of a question mark for me right now.

Yes I did a speech a month or two ago, but I see that space as different than a mastermind, workshop, or talk.

All that said, some of the things I’ve been working on this week has been detailing out all the problems that I’ve solved as well as this brainstorm for a knowledge-base and curriculum I’ll being putting together from my experience.

The Dream Life

I was journaling last week and realized that I’ve been living the dream life and goals that I set out about a year ago…

What a feeling that was.

But it presented the question… What am I working towards next?

So I detailed out a new set of goals and dream life for this next year or so.

Lock Icon This content is not ready to be made public yet.

But what I did next, inspired from the book Outsmarting Reality by Nero Knowledge, was to identify the actual FEELINGS I’m desiring underneath this dream life.

This is what came up:

  1. I feel valued.
  2. I feel free.
  3. I feel abundant.
  4. I feel expansive.
  5. I feel flow.
  6. I feel empowered.
  7. I feel confident.
  8. I feel excited.
  9. I feel joyous.
  10. I feel peaceful.
  11. I feel grateful.
  12. I feel impactful.

And in writing this I thought “huh… I’ve already felt all of these in some regard before. I know what they feel like.”

So I decided to start this new habit of picking a random number 1-12 every morning and picking one feeling to visualize for 2 minutes and feel throughout my day.

It’s been going well so far.

Goals Manifestation

202509270733 Manifesting a feeling of excitement

#feeling #excitement #manifestation 

So yesterday my goals feeling manifestation number was for 8, "I feel excited"

And it was quite interesting what ended up happening during my day 

I ran into [name] and we ended up getting into a maybe 30 minute conversation at Nirvana 

I brought up that I'm going back to the US and planning on skiing and he said he also skis 

And so he ended up in this conversation sharing stories about skiing and powder and skiing in Utah and resorts. And it was just a really high vibration. High energy. Exciting laughing. Joking around conversation 

I walked away with this smile on my face 


And then later that night I went to [name] birthday party and I was talking with [name]

And I was also explaining my travel plans and skiing and he said he also snowboards 

And I was just starting to describe that to him, "I just feel really excited for it"


About 30 minutes later it just hit me in the side of my head, making this connection between starting the day off with I feel excited and seeing it actually manifest into reality as actual emotional excitement. 

This blew my mind

4-Week Goals

More on the micro… I was journaling about my last 4 weeks in Bali before I head out and set some goals.

Then I realized that I’m back in a place where I would benefit from the 12-Week Year goal system I set up earlier this year in my Obsidian second brain.

So I wrote down:

  • What I wanted to achieve by the time I leave
  • What my life/business will look like by then

And broke it down into weekly goals.

## Weekly Breakdown

...

This has further contributed to my “lock in” desire now that I have a very clear direction and focus again.

Reading

With my new morning routine (since Jatiluwih last week), I’ve been reading every morning around 30 minutes to start.

Recent books:

  • Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks
  • No More Mr Nice Guy by Robert Glover

Then I had the idea… So I’m a coach now… what if I treated this like an actual skill to develop. And ChatGPT’d some coaching books.

I read “The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier” and absolutely blasted my way through it. Finished it in one day. And it gave me a LOT of good questions to use.

I already used what I learned in the book TWICE this week. Crazy.

But it’s got me super hyped that I can provide even more value to people, be even more helpful.

So I’ve now taken this new lens of how can I learn and develop skills that will directly be useful for my coaching calls. It’s almost opened up this whole new world and perspective that I’ve been running with.

Just started Atomic Habits by James Clear again (I read it 5 years ago).

Still Room To Grow

I spent one morning (the one reading The Coaching Habit) at Nirvana just reading all morning.

It was lunch time and wanted to try ordering a big lunch but without getting brain fog. Goal: Max calories, minimal affect to focus.

So this is what I (actually, ChatGPT) came up with:

The staff had this kind of shocked 😮 face as I continued to run down the list of my order.

It ended up being 720k IDR ($43)… which is a LOT 😅 It’s about a full day’s worth of food expenses in one meal (for me, still bulking ordering double meals and such).

I felt a bit embarrassed honestly 😅 720k! My lord. I mean there’s already a premium baked in ordering food at Nirvana… But this was a little excessive.

BUT hey I didn’t have any brain fog and it was a great meal 😅

So anyways… I include this so that I can look back on this section in 2 years and cringe at myself.

You’re welcome future Peter.

Listening To Intuition & Excitement

Oops

I’ve started to revert back to this mindset that anything that isn’t “productive” (laptop time, gym, reading, recovery/space, ROI-positive conversations) is becoming a mental weight.

I now have a clear goal again, so it’s become very clear what contributes to those goals and what doesn’t…

That said, there was a social event that I was actually kind of looking forward to this week. But I had to kind of plan my whole day around it because it fell exactly when I usually go to the gym. And that, I didn’t love. Just more mental decisions.

Anyways, it gets to be the time and I show up to the cafe…

Except I realize then that I actually went to the wrong location… the real location is another 13 minutes away.

I debated for a minute, then said “ah fuck it” and stayed there, skipped the event, and just made more Instagram Reels 😂 I think I made 2 and drafted a third that evening. Great progress.

Guess I didn’t want to go that badly…

The Feeling

There was another event I was invited to that I was planning on going to this week.

But it got to be about an hour before and I was at Nirvana chilling post-workout and post-sauna. I felt rushed.

I realized I felt obligated because I was invited and had nothing else technically planning. But that it was taking up a lot of mental space, planning, and at the end of the day… I just didn’t feel excited to go.

And like a beautiful sign from the universe, another opportunity came up in that moment that I went to.

Excitement

## Excitement and Compromises

Man I kinda don't like going to Terra. I don't really want to go. I think it's mainly because it's a 30 minute drive.
But also I'm like is it really worth the ROI?

But then again look at what happened from the two Terra's I've gone to.
- [[202508141315 Terra networking event notes]]
- [[202509111322 Terra session notes]]

They've both been worth it in the end. It's just a big time and effort investment.

I just finished [[202509172017 No More Mr Nice Guy by Robert Glover]], and kind of at the same time I'm starting to be more in tune with how _I_ feel, what _I_ want and need.

For example I did NOT go to the [event]. I just realized I was invited, felt a bit obligated, had nothing else planned, but realized it was taking up a lot of mental space, planning, and at the end of the day, I didn't actually feel excited to go.

Here's an interesting idea... What if I ONLY did things I actually felt excited to do for a week?

Imagine what would get cut. Probably not _that_ much, but just some social things.

What am I actually excited to do right now in my life?
- Make content, Instagram reels, it's been fun
- Work out at Nirvana, my workout, sauna, pool chilling, sauna, chilling routine
- Chatting with people in the sauna at Nirvana
- Morning coffee shops, going to new ones and ones I haven't been to before
- The Jatiluwih trip was great [[202509200754 The Jatiluwih trip to The Fruit Cottage]]
- Coaching calls
- ...
- Tribal Solutions is fun. An obligation, but I enjoy it.

I think what I'm struggling a bit with is routine. I had this thought and realization yesterday? That my days aren't consistent and I think I would like them to be. I'm having to make too many decisions...
- Like oh I've got a coffee chat on Wednesday, so when can I go to the gym? Maybe 5pm that day. Ah Thursday is Terra, so I can't get my focus work in. Friday I've got a call here and drive here in the evening, but I need to do laundry, so will I be able to go to the gym? What if I go in the morning...

I kind of just want the exact same routine.
- Wake up, coffee shop, work. Lunch at 11:30am. Work more, read, coaching calls. Then at exactly X (4pm?) I go to the gym.
- I also thought about this new routine, because I'm experimenting with earlier and/or lighter dinners, and working out, both earlier and earlier away from sleep time... What if I worked out after lunch, like 1:30pm every day. 1:30pm-4:30pm, then more laptop time or reading in the evening.

I think it's all these decisions, particularly about having to move my focus time, move my gym time, or compromise on these two things that I value for some social thing, dinner, event, networking, or coffee chat (that I also value, just a bit less?)... that's the friction I'm feeling.

What’s Next?

URGENT CALLS ONLY I’M STILL LOCKED INNNNNNN 😮‍💨
