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 2/15/16: 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 …

Quick (sort of…) Update 2/11/16

Hello lovely people, A heck of a lot has happened since I last wrote to you. First of all, I didn’t launch! Then the holidays happened. Then I didn’t launch again in January like I tentatively planned (I didn’t even tell you about that, did I?). Then I got married and went on a honeymoon. Yeah, I got freaking married! And now here we are. But let’s back up ever so slightly and talk about my wedding. I married my Read More …

Quick Update 11/16/15

Greetings good people, Another quick update on this lovely, windy Monday Today was a hugely productive day. I spent the morning finishing up the edits from my personal proofreading for the guitar book, and then sent it off to my great friend, David Ryan Norgren, for a round of proofing from him. After that, I’ll have my fiancé go over it for the non-muso’s perspective, and then Dave and I will go over it once more. I’m feeling pretty good Read More …

Product Launch Coming Soon (ish)

Friends, I apologize for the radio silence over the past several weeks. I’ve been focusing on my projects, had a show going, and have been doing more Uber in addition to starting to work for Postmates, so I put the blog on the backburner. Just a quick update for today I went with my gut and decided to go with a guitar product as my first product. I’ve spent the last weeks building the product — outlining, writing, designing, and Read More …

The Light’s There, Sometimes it’s Just Hard to See

I’ve been struggling lately. The ups and downs of solopreneurship I was told so much about going into this have been in full swing this last week or two. And I mean full swing — I feel like I’ve been going from over-the-moon excited and seeing the possibilities for the future to depressed and feeling like a complete failure (before I’ve even truly begun) in the time it takes me to brush my teeth. And then back. And then back Read More …

Niche Research: A Few More Weeks in the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Academy

I’ve been a little absent from my site for a few weeks and I’m sorry about that! It’s been hectic trying to stay inside my box working on a new product through the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Academy, and Meag and I also took a mini vacation to New York. I’ll write about the latter soon, but — for now — I wanted to fill you in on my progress in the AJCA. As you recall, I learned a lot early Read More …

My First Week in the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Academy

Remember how I told you I was in talks to possibly sign up for Alex Jeffreys to be my mentor and that I’d tell you about it soon? Well, now I’m telling you about it. After a couple of phone calls and doing a little research, I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I joined the Alex Jeffreys Coaching Academy. This was not cheap at $1,500, but it was much more affordable than I thought it was going Read More …
