What have you done?

Published over 1 year ago • 2 min read

Yo!

So in the free community (you can check it out here) I've implemented a little "kick up the arse" accountability feature.

At the start of the week, you can outline what you want to get done and ask for help from the community.

At the end of the week, you list what you've achieved, what you wanna do next week, and can ask for more help.

It's new, but I'd love for you to join in.

​The thread for it is here, and I've pasted today's entry from yours truly below.

------

  1. In the last week I managed to add ~1700 email subs which I’m pretty happy about.

Downside is about another 1000 new subscribers were auto bounced from my ESP. Weiord as they were bounced as soon as they were added. Either fake emails or a problem, but we're looking ito a fix to bring them over as well.

2. Also kicked off a new experiment for a biz idea I’ve been sitting on for a while. Trying to get it spun up today to check how valid it all is.

3. Created a simple system to turn long-form video into short-form social posts. It’s working well to start growing the views on my YouTube channel which I wanna do more of.

Plans for next week are…

  • Keep the new video strat going
  • Get those email subs approved
  • Close out a client engagement I’ve almost completed and get that closing payment
  • Work on closing 1-2 more coaching students from the new subs
  • Properly test the new biz idea when I get the system running

If you want to join in and get a little bit more accountability in your life, check out the thread and join the community here.

I've gotta get back to work and finish off the day so I can chill out and spend the entire weekend watching the Euros.

Speak soon,

Pete

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...

Yo! Quick one today. Curious about the one thing you’re stuck on right now when it comes to growth? Not tactics like running an ad, but the actual problem that’s slowing things down. I’m doing a bit of free thinking this week and replying personally. If you’re clear, just reply and tell me... ... what you’re trying to scale... what’s not working... what you’ve already tried... what you want to achieve No pitch on the back end of this. This just helps me see patterns and build the right stuff....

Yo, Quick heads up before I wrap up this instance of HVO. High Value Offers closes tonight. And I want to be clear about what this decision actually is. This isn’t about buying a course. It’s about whether you keep guessing. Because if nothing changes, here’s what probably happens... ... You come up with another idea.... You talk yourself into it.... You spend weeks building.... You launch. And then you’re right back where you are now, trying to work out why it didn’t land. Not because you’re...
