My New Morning Routine: An Entrepreneur’s Quest for Ultimate Productivity, Happiness, and Fulfillment

I’ve never been a morning person. In fact, I’ve always been an extreme night owl and had little-to-no morning routine. I feel that the height of my creativity happens after 9pm and I am most excited late at night. While this works really well for my musician life and could potentially be doable in my blogger life, it doesn’t necessarily work well for having a wife, a dog, friends, family, and a real life. While I’ve never been good at sleeping Read More …

Guitar Chord Kick-Start: One Day After Launch

Greetings beautiful people! I’m excited to get back to blogging now that I’ve officially launched Guitar Chord Kick-Start and plan to really dive head-first into it. As I mentioned in another post, I broke many promises to you and to myself in order to finish GCKS. Specifically, I promised you all back in February that I would be posting every day until I launched. My plan was to keep you updated on my progress and everything I was working on, Read More …

Launching Tomorrow!

For freaking real this time! I’m launching tomorrow. Seriously! After missed deadlines, false starts, broken promises (to you and to myself), and a whole lot of coffee and Diet Red Bull, I am finally ready to pull the trigger and launch tomorrow. Expect a full write-up of my thoughts, feelings, and — undoubtedly — tangents tomorrow, but for now, just get excited for tomorrow at 10am Pacific. I repeat, I am launching tomorrow at 10am Pacific Time! Peek back here Read More …

Quick Update 3/2/16: The Quickest of Quick Updates

And late, but I wanted to get it out. I’m writing from my iPad for the first time on this blog, so I’m curious to see how the formatting works. I’m also not sure if it will go to the social sites, but I’ll do that manually later if it doesn’t. Oh, and I’m going to use this fun picture of Walter instead of my usual date picture. Anyway, I finished the last bonus today, added a couple things to Read More …

Quick Update 2/29/16: Making Leaps on Leap Day

Not sure why I chose the corniest of all titles today, but it just felt so right. So, I’ve decided that I’m going to get everything done for the book by March 8th. I won’t be launching that day because I’ll need a couple/few weeks to reach out to affiliates and polish up some back end stuff, but I want to have everything related to the product and website done by then. That means that, starting this morning, I’ve kicked Read More …

Quick Update 2/24/16: The Seemingly Never-ending Battle with Hosting

That title may be a little dramatic, but today was, indeed, a day full of technology blunders and a battle with hosting. The good news is, I think I’ve got it all squared away. The bad news? I didn’t get quite as many things finished up today as I planned. I did, however, get the main things I wanted to get done and a couple secondary tasks, to boot. And that, my friends, means progress. I think it’s the nature Read More …

Quick Update 2/17/16: I’ve Barely Slept in the Last 24 Hours

The last 24 hours have been weird ones. Yesterday was a good day. I got my main task done for the day, and then continued to work on the site for the guitar product. Specifically, I worked on designing the sales letter page of the site. I’m trying something new with this one. See, for the last several years, I’ve mainly been a WordPress guy. While I worked in Joomla and dabbled with a mixture of Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and my Read More …

Quick Update 2/15/16: Weekend Catch-up

I took a little weekend break from writing, but here’s a quick catch-up since my last note.  Saturday was mainly a non-work day. My nephew’s birthday party was in the morning, so Meag and I went up to Orange County for that, met her mom for lunch, then sat in gnarly traffic trying to get home to San Diego. At night, we had a nice hang with one of our best friends (and now neighbor) Danielle. Boring for you reading Read More …

Quick Update 2/12/16

Here it is, day 2 in my “posting every day no matter how boring it is” quick update series I made some more progress in my business today and I feel great! My main task for today was to finalize the first bonus offer for the guitar book. After that, I did some more writing in the third bonus (I’m about 80% done with the second) and took care of a few other things relating to freelance and musician work. After Read More …
