Summary
Missed a few months of blog updates due to a lack of motivation. I struggled with my goals and procrastinated like hell but, that’s life I guess…
Still have more money than when I left my job 10 months ago thanks to good market conditions in the investing/crypto world. Have enough runway for another 2-4 years+ as long as I don’t go too wild.
So where am I at now?
Highlights From The Last Few Months
Found that struggling with accountability is my biggest issue – not that I didn’t know that already but it really hit home the last few months. My goals set just didn’t seem appealing when there was no real deadline, no one was caring if I did the tasks or not, etc. While some customers helped me focus my efforts on my current projects, the lack of new customers/ pain in the ass to onboard new customers made me re-consider and ask myself was this the best use of my time. (The answer seemed to be, maybe not)
On the positive side, I got through 4 months of German and now have an A2/B1 level (which gets better with alcohol consumed!)
While co-working at my friend’s place we got talking about the industry he was working in and thought there was scope there for an interesting business. So after exploring the area/idea a bit we decided we’d work together on a new project.
I’m happy to have someone else to work with after many months and his skills complement mine nicely, growth/content marketing with a bit of tech too. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do together and if it doesn’t work out I’m sure we’ll learn a lot along the way!
Goals for next month
- Get an MVP working and get some beta testers for our new product.
- Keep improving my German, try to pick up another German friend or two.
- Do a fitness challenge or two to keep me in somewhat good shape – I have got a half marathon planned and might do a 40k or 80k running challenge too
