TOPIC: I'm so happy to be happy again.

Geez, its been a long time since I've wrote here. Almost a year now

To make this brief. I have been 100% focused on my business since i've last wrote. After my last segments of posts, I did go on a bit of a splurge for a couple months and partied for like 3 months straight. I was able to make money from my business, but It was not growing like it should have been.

Other than that we have been growing, and my biggest objective this year to scale. I plan to continue logging my journey and keeping you guys updated. If everything goes as planned, this year will be unlike any other year.

I've got a pretty smooth system & business model that promotes growth and scalability. At this point, it is about continuing to screen/weed out the bad vendors & continuing to close more deals.

I plan to take my business into multiple states by the end of 2019 and possibly one other state by the end of 2018. I'm really positioned like a sales/marketing company in my niche, so I'm able to branch out pretty easily.

Expect some more logs from me here and then

Nice man. Looking forward to it.

Thanks man!

Rooting for you man. As someone else who quit their job to pursue biz full time I fully understand the struggle. Some days are fuckin tough but I'd take those days as my own boss over any day working to make someone else rich.

Yes! It can feel like an uphill battle some days. Would take it over being an employee any day.

I've been at this business thing for a few years now, and it has really taken off from where we were. I should update my goals and milestones for my signature.

What type of biz are you in?

So i've decided that I am going to try and use this log to update everyone on my business & personal life. One of my all time best friend's @Rebel has a really sick log on here and I want to do the same. This way I have something to look back on when in the future..

Business

Yesterday was kind of disappointing for business for a couple reasons. One being I had a client who just signed a contract with us. He was a huge D*CK and was so condescending to me and my affiliates. We requested a small change in our contract before starting and he went insane on us. Threatening to talk bad about us to his business friends, yelling at me, cursing, the whole 9 yards. I want the $$$ but that is not the type of client I'm after. Unfortunately, I let him go this morning.

He can go run his mouth about me all he wants, we never even started service with him. On to chasing more clientele

The Better Part Of Yesterday

I met with one of my new subcontractors, took a look at a new account and we are planning on starting pretty soon. I need to get in the habit of looking for providers all the time. I never want to have to turn a contract down. Plus, once you have a good subcontractor. The whole process is pretty much automated.

To scale at the size I want this year, I only need to do a few things.

• Find 10 New Subcontractors
• Perfect Our Telemarketing/Cold Emailing Process
• Continue To Work On SEO (Plan to outsource this in the future)
• Start Learning / Using Adwords

PERSONAL

Yesterday was the start of a new workout program. I'm getting ready for the summer so I can be looking really good.

I bought a new pre-workout which was fucking amazing. So I have never been a fan of C4. However, C4 just came out with something called "C4 Extreme", (as far as I know its new). My energy levels throughout my workout were insane! The pump I had was also unreal. I had one of the best workouts I've ever had in a long time. I hit some personal record on the bench last night also which was awesome!

Weight : 151 LBS
Bench : 195 LBS - 3 Reps (could of done 1 more, but I didn't want to injure myself)

Keep grinding

I'm doing ecommerce. We're starting a Telegram group in this thread get in there for sure so we can talk shop!

@GravyTrain I'll check it out man! Thanks!

Business

Today was an okay day. I met up with a subcontractor today who I am interested in working with. The cool thing is, when you have a good subcontractor. They can literally take up to 25-30k Per month in work from me. This is really nice because once I have the good subs, I can focus on just getting more work (not hiring & firing people all day long).

She was really nice, however I'm just not sure if she has what it takes to work with me. No insurance (said she will get it now), no employees, etc. Sounds like she can do the job, but she might be very unorganized and give me issues down the road. Will probably pass.

Tomorrow I will be training 2 new telemarketers for my businesses and calling around for more subcontractors to screen. Once I get those 2 things down, we will be growing at the rates I want. I am also going to be talking with others from Vegas and Florida about expanding my company. (Hopefully something I can begin doing by the end of 2018).


Personal

Not to much going on in this sector. I worked out today and did really well. Will start recording stats and updating here.
I think I need to lower my serving of prework, 1 scoop is really strong and causes me to get jittery, itchy and headaches. I will cut it to 1/2 a scoop. Hopefully this brings me back to normal.



Overall Goals For 2018

• 30k Per month in recurring revenue for business
• Gain 25 Pounds This year
• Hit 2 Plates On Bench (really close
• Hit 3 Plates on Deadlift
• Hit 3 Plates On Squat
• Lose Acne
• Party

Just gotta keep grinding

Sup Players! Had a decent day today. Have been super busy with business related tasks today and after working from 8AM-3:30P, i have some free time to write for you guys. Ha! Just got a notification that we got a lead from someone submitting their information on my website. Beautiful.

Business

Business has been pretty good starting today. I went out on 2 leads that we scheduled last week. While I was leaving the second one, I got a phone call from somebody inquiring for service. He needs service ASAP. The best part about this is that the property is 73,000 square feet at 4 stories. If we land this job, I will make quite and it will help me boost my marketing budget to where I want it to be!

I'm working on finding a new proposal software, i've been looking at Panda Docs. Biggest thing that i need to do this week is find more subcontractors. Literally, once i have a handful of good subcontractors, I can pretty much take on anything I get for a while. I will be focusing on this within the next 2 weeks.

My goal is to generate a minimum of 35 leads per month and we missed that goal last month by just a few. This month we are going to hit that and go past it!

Personal

Last week marked my first week in the new workout program. Its basically a Upper/Lower/Upper/Lower Program (4 days a week).

It was specially designed by a good friend of mine from here haha. Last week I hit some PR's, I think this is due to a combination of motivation & the new pre-workout.

I've been having some problems with Acne recently. For some reason I just can seem to get ahead of it. I've been getting lots of it around my chin & jawline. I've been trying a new face wash that has helped a bit. If it doesn't start to decline, i'll probably end up seeking help from a dermatologist or someone who specializes in this. I cannot go around with Acne in front of people & business encounters.

Going to hit the gym in a little bit, i'll report back here with some info on that.

Go on a low dose of Accutane man. I've been struggling with the shit since I was like 16. This is my second go around of the 'Tane. It's not as bad as everyone says. It'll clear you up FULLY within a few months. Trust me you'll thank me later.

I've tried every topical and antibiotic and always I come back for more. They're better than nothing but if you have hormonal breakouts like I get (nothing bad, it just really pisses me off), you're gonna need the Tane. Just godda use sunscreen and not drink alot of alcohol for 6 months.

Looks like thats what i'm probably going to do. Almost all aspects of my looks (weight, style, haircut, etc) are coming into place. Now the main problem is my Acne.. its literally a never ending war.

Hey guys, sorry for the delayed update. I would like to try and make a Once a week, possibly a every other week routine to update this log. I don't want to update every day, but I would still like this to include lots of nitty gritty details i'll want to look back on one day.

Business

So, this week has been good and bad for my business. Bad in the sense that my motivation levels have been really low. I'm very unlike this and everyone who knows me, knows i'm a hustler. I'm the guy to be working all the time and when i'm not working, i'm thinking about work. I do limit it obviously to be healthy and not burn out. However, when I get started with something, i become obsessed a lot of times. Been like that since i was younger.

This week, I sold 3 new clients (goal is to sell at least 6 per month). I spoke with one of my mentors today and everything he is saying is really connecting with me. The hardest part of my business is finding the vendors to fulfill the contracts I sell. Once I find a good vendor, they can only handle a certain amount of work until they don't have capabilities of taking on new contracts.

I really need to focus on one thing this upcoming week before moving onto anything else. Finding new vendors I can work with. I'm finding i'm getting work now in areas where I don't have many decent subcontractors ready to go. No bueno.

If you put the wrong vendor in an account, you will be bombarded with constant complaints, communication issues with the vendor, etc. You put the right vendor in, it is smooth as butter.

I have also been working a lot on my documents and processes for them. I began using PandaDoc for proposals, service agreements, subcontracting agreements, non-competes, etc. Speeds up the time it takes to fill out agreements by over 200%.


Personal

Nothing to exciting going on in this sector yet. I've been dealing with some pretty major issues in my personal life that i'm honestly embarrassed to speak about in this community. (It has to do with some problems in my current relationship). This has taken a huge toll in my motivation, sex drive, mood, etc. Thankfully, It won't affect me anymore pretty soon.

I've been going pretty hard in the gym and my diet. I hit a new PR on the Deadlift & Squat. I honestly don't have the numbers (there in a journal in my car) and i don't remember my exact #'s. I'll update that hear soon. @Rebel has me on a really sick routine.

I've been focusing on the major compound lifts and a couple accessories. (Been going really heavy on extra things like Traps, Forearms & Calfs). It has honestly improved my look a lot. i'm seeing lots of newbie gains on the traps and you can see it in the way my shirts are getting filled out.

My only problem with the whole fitness thing is DIET. Shit man I never thought I would say this, I hate eating. I need to get about 3300 calories a day to lean bulk. My business has me running around all day and I have a pretty fast metabolism. Very recently, i never seem to have a big appetite. I can pretty much eat whenever, but unless its been hours since i've ate, I have a hard time putting down a large meal. The way its been structured is usually a decent sized breakfast, a snack a couple hours later, another medium - large meal, and then a homemade calorie shake.

The shake has oats, peanut butter, protein powder, milk & banana. It comes out to about 1100 Calories and 60 grams of protein.

I'll update you soon. Sorry for the long block of text.
