💯Focus Manic Monday - So, what is up this week? Anything fun?

[Dopious]

Monday, what a week it is going to be now that Sweden won their first game in WM against Tunisia with 5-1.

New week, new opportunities to get your week moving.

Share a goal you have for the week, big or small, it doesn't matter.

It could be:

• Something you want to get done with
• A new initiative you want to take on
• A habit you want to stick to
• An idea you want to concretize or put into motion

Writing it down increases the chance that it will actually get done
Sharing this makes it even more likely that you will actually do it

What is your main goal for this week in your business projects?

Yea bro I got something fun.

So I’m gonna be trying out posting TikTok videos this week. Always wanted to start a channel lol so I’m gonna do one on random stuff just to see what gets views and then start a serious channel later.

That's really cool. I looked at some channels in niche that I considered trying and it was interesting how the same channel can have a lot of views on YouTube and barely any on TikTok lol.

Another potential client, let's see if it closes or not. He specifically wants one time config tho so not having high expectations here, not everyone wants a retainer in the first place. I'm probably gonna do this one myself since too much hassle to onboard him AND a media buyer just for one time idk. The one with unfinished website disappeared, I have the money and I'm waiting for him to come back, so is whitelabel media buyer eh.

Small goal, not blow up too many accounts. They're quite expensive.

Next goal... is to be quiet and continue solving real life problems.

I can't do too much as I can't stress myself too much, so I will just do a lot of things without strict planning.

Mostly I'm just thinking and dreaming. My favorite part.

 

[SMTasker]

I've been working on a site design and pages, hoping to finish it this week and get to the next things waiting on the to do list

 

[Dopious]

I am going to take this week slow, as there is a midsummer feast in sweden on Friday so no one works.

 

[SirTop]

Last week, I was pretty slammed almost the entire week but this week seems to be starting slow which is great.

I don't have as much on my plate as I did last week, so I'm just cruising along today. Though that might change as the week goes on.

I've only got a few tasks on my hands that I need to complete and I'll likely start working with a new client today.
I'm just waiting for the details of the project or task

Did... Did I just got 1 month free???? This is so much better than tourist sim. Oh also I bought full internet package first time just now, I was using free bonus internet from starter for last couple days until it expired.

 

[SilverClouds]

More and more sales dms... Also most paying client's service ends in a week and I see she has good results (so media buyer did ok) but bitch doesn't want to pay and tries to scam for free service.

 

[RiskyStuff]

I have doubts about online connections.

It's easy to hit some rogue sh#t.

I'm really freaked out and now I understand why I avoid those B2B things so much.

I heard couple times the fear of uncertainty is the greatest one.

I wanted to say "teach me master", but after last sentence I thought... maybe I should teach you. I don't mean it literally...

I just think... every system has its vulnerabilities.

How can one improve this process of searching for good people.

It's so hard in this entropic space.

Better targeting through gated email lists... verifying everyone before starting cooperation... I don't know. Maybe one day I'll know. Until then, I don't see point of starting.

I know even friends scam each other, even not on purpose. Even corporations. OMG. So I think maybe automation would help resulting in lower buck per person, but more cash flow security.

Still B2B is easier than regular consumer sales as consumers have a lot of buyer protections like refunds on bought stuff even if there are no wrong with the product. Fuck I hate consumer selling online. Can`t stand those whiny bishes.

@Dopious thanks for sharing. You mean like, ecom, not b2c services? Or both?

@RiskyStuff yeahhh b2b sucks so much. Bitch was week late with her first payment, so I started yelling at her week earlier . If she won't pay I'll have to stop all work on this site and work on other, new clients instead. Thankfully there are some potentially interested people so maybe that'll close and someone else will pay that amount or split between multiple smaller clients. This is also why I'm so affected by these job market fluctuations... Right now there's more leads available again, but lately there were so much less potential clients out there...

Also I have to fill in Emirates refunds form 3rd(!) time because they automatically tried to rebook (and failed) multiple times, so tickets numbers changed, I need to put last ones there apparently. Their support told me which ones. And I'm walking around like this from one support staff to another, just online. To get my own money back for service that they didn't deliver and I had to buy last minute tickets elsewhere out of pocket.

Also booked nail salon appointment for my silly ingrown toenail . Apparently they can do a cute mini brace on my toenail, together with a pedicure, and I don't need to go to a podologist (which is more expensive). Idk how this happened, last time had this literally in primary school, how come I fucked this up again?

I mean I hate selling to private persons that are not companies, both online and offline. They have to much customer protection in the law here in my country.

But I mean like, returns on items, etc? Or a lot of protections when they buy services too?

 

[Dopious]

Yes, private consumers are the worst kind to sell to here.

 

[Dopious]

Okay, so it's Wednesday already, and we are halfway through the week! What are you crushing in your final sprint to secure a stress-free, peaceful weekend? Let's hear what you're wrapping up in your projects!

 

[Zwielicht]

I’m sorting some stuff with my house this week. We’re in the process of selling it and we’re near the end of that process.

We’ll be moving out of the state, and to be honest, we’re considering moving to a different country at some point as well.
