Workpost 44: Overwhelmed
I feel like it was an absolute slog getting back on my blog. I felt like I had to force myself. I’m afraid what happens if I don’t force myself. I just want to ignore everything. I’m not happy right now.
I feel so overwhelmed with work and stocks.
I really wish I could go back to those days when I wrote in my blog and I felt like I was on track and going places. I feel so frustrated. I feel a strong desire to take action, but its as if I don’t have the leverage.
I feel so angry
I want to break to tear be violent
I feel trapped like an animal
I don’t want to write blog posts
I don’t want to process my feelings
To do taichi
Fuck all this shit
I just want to be left alone
I feel lost and alone
Very lost
I don’t know what to do
It’s as if I lost the motivation somewhere
Workpost 54: Processing More Emotions
I feel strongly that my client will not value the work that I did.
I feel that he will say, “yea is this what you’ve been spending all your time on??? This is not what we need”. Then I will feel frustrated because it IS what we need.
I feel unseen, underappreciated, and misunderstood.
I feel uncomfortable in this room with someone else on the phone. I feel watched, judged, and disliked.
I am now realizing this is a time that I can let go of taking responsibility for others emotions. I can have faith in their abilities to process feelings themselves.
I’m feel numb buzzing fear in my heart and stomach. I feel a little trapped in my shoulders from feeling watched.
Maybe this guy is friendly, both of us clearly like to work. We are both trying to get something done. Maybe this is a warm environment after all.
Reframe: I get to work with people near me, I can get a little sense of community without having to talk
I worry about him being uncomfortable walking behind him or listening to his calls.
I feel fear in my stomach and trapped in my shoulders. I feel I am not safe.
Maybe his calls can motivate me to work on my stuff. I feel rejected, pain in my heart, fear of rejection.
Chase rejection, it will set you free.
With the feeling for my client, I feel deep painful fear in my heart and stomach. I feel a fear of rejection again.
Reframe: if I have a fear of being misunderstood, I can take this time to understand myself.
What I do is important because clarity will give a lot of direction and power to everything you do. Noone like to buy a confused product from a confused company with confused founders. Noone is passionate about a product that isn’t clear in its purpose with a company that isn’t clear on it’s purpose.
I want to be excited about this product and company. Excitement and passionate is the lever arm for work.
Inspiration is the lever arm for creativity. Purpose is the lever arm for fulfillment. Branding is the lever arm for product value. Vision is the lever arm for decision making.
AI Gaming + Art Coaching Days 60/63
Ok, we are in the home stretch for the first part of this business experiment.
The first big question I set out to solve is what is my lead magnet for art coaching? I know that I want to offer some free intro sessions, but it is now apparent to me that I want to do other types of lead magnets with people as well because I can’t do a free intro session with just people at the farmer’s market or at a conference (potentially at a conference but I’m not so sure).
Here are the potential lead magnets I have so far:
- Prompts for dream creative projects
- Artist masterpiece problem diagnosis
- Free 1 hr Masterpiece planning call to determine creative project, project timeline, and plan
- Free 2 hr coaching call after intro call
The second question I am pondering, is how do I make money off of the AI business?
I guess the answer to that, is that it doesn’t really matter if I make money off of it (at least initially), I just need to get good at dev because that in itself will make me money if I want to.
Art Coaching Day 2/21
I also figured out why I have troubling making a coaching website and why it felt so wrong. It had pricing and generic things on it.
I want my funnel to be an homage to my mission and vision, which is to foster the creation of more artistic masterpieces. So I want my website to have a feeling of magic, of the way Harry Potter felt when he was got his invitation letter to the Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. I want to remind myself of the feeling of reading children’s books. I want the website to be an homage to dreams, creating worlds, and fantasy.
I want my business cards to feel like a work of art, like a magical invitation.
Today I accomplished the following things:
- Bought masterpiececoaching.org
- Ordered samples of premium business card samples from Jukebox
Tomorrow I really want to design and put together my website asap using a template on wordpress.
Workpost 81: Making Money
I’ve finally gotten my business cards done! I’m pretty happy about that.
The main thing to do next is to make some money today.
I was to focus primarily on making fast money, at least 300 today.
Other than that, I want to think about my next step in my plan – which is making videos.
Finally, I think my final potential goal for today is to call some active retired individual retreats and see if I can teach a class there.
