Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. Read more 👇

If you've been following along - all of my stats are up. The revenue is growing every month, and more customers have been rolling in. SEO has worked well for me. But, I'm afraid that's made me lazy...

I didn't write a single line of code for the Closet Assistant last month. Or the month before. That's not good. That's not going to sustain growth. That's not success. Why didn't I write any code for the assistant?

Well, it's not because I haven't been writing any code. I have written LOTS of code. For other projects. That I promised to do around the time that I started @ClosetTools. But now that it has been successful, I regret signing up to do those other projects.

That's something I have always struggled with. Saying yes. It bodes well for me when I need to learn new skills and need applications, but it is detrimental when the main thing is needing to focus on my startup/product.

So, lesson learned. I am hoping to finish up those other projects this month and be done with them 🙅‍♂️. Then my goal is to focus on Closet Tools and I'll be focusing on features and growth.

I've been really admiring these makers:

@thepatwalls
@Booligoosh
@daviswbaer
@yongfook
@corey_gwin

And so many more. You've all shipped some amazing products and features in the last month, and I am proud to be named among you! Keep crushing it 💪.

This month I picked up Atomic Habits by James Clear 👉 atomichabits.com. It's by far one of the most impactful books I have read in a long time (and I read a lot). Similar to how I was impacted by Deep Work.

I've also been reading the Bible every day. There's so much wisdom in the Bible. There's so much power in it, and by reading it every day I have been grasping concepts at a much deeper level. I started this: 1189days.com.

Thanks for reading! I appreciate it. The twitter maker-atmosphere/bubble is awesome, and I hope that my little bit of success encourages someone to ship something during the month of November 👍. Have an awesome day!
