„one of the most underrated bands out there. loved you guys since pendulum“

„Man, that solo at the end!! Please extend that live for an extra 30 minutes or so!!“

„One of the best choruses I have ever heard! Pure nostalgic 80s... I left my heart in PDX“

…The acknowledgment of social co-production also dissolves the myth of the heroic individual businessman or woman as “self-made.” Individuals may do great things, but as Warren Buffett – who knows something about making money – has pointed out, none do it alone.“

„Once we acknowledge the social component of economic value, then discussion of financial return and social policy take a new turn. Taxation, for example, no longer is a matter of “redistributing” someone else’s income, or wealth, but rather of restoring a portion of it to the rightful owners…

Du wachst auf, erwartest das Schlechteste. Du bereitest dich auf das Schlechteste vor. Wenn es am Ende des Tages nicht eingetroffen ist, sagst du: „Was ein geiler Tag!“ #stoizismus #positivethinkingreverse

…Wenn ich jetzt nicht aktiv werde, schaffe ich es nicht und dann klopft der schlimmste Albtraum an meine Tür: ein Day-Job mit seinem Kollegen Achim Festanstellung.

Hau rein!

DEUTSCH

Ich bin fortan im HYPER FOCUS! Warum? Damit ich erfolgreich meine Arbeit für Copywriting-Kunden verrichten kann. Kein öffentliches studiolist-Tagebuch mehr bis Ende Juni (vorerst) und vielleicht länger. Auch kein Marketingschnickschnak wie Podcasts. Das ist nur Ablenkung. Es geht ums Überleben und darum, 250 € in der Woche zu machen, damit ich in 6 Monaten 6k verdient habe…

…If I don’t start taking action now, I won’t make it and then my worst nightmare will knock on my door: day job with the baggage of being full-time.

*Arrivederci*

SPECIAL - Day 137 RAW Update (from zero to profit = 2k EUR MRR) - English and Deutsch - of #startupdiarystudiolist.

I entered HYPER FOCUS for copywriting client work success. No public studiolist diary until the end of June (for now) and maybe longer. The point is to make 250 euros per week so I eventually make 6k in 6 months…

This was day 137. Until May 31, 2019 I had been validating my 👷‍♂️ startup https://studiolist.org within 4 months while traveling and working (day job, voiceover). If there had been no market validation till June 1, 2019 the startup would have 🧟‍♂️ died - but it didn’t. So, now I’m in the phase of making it profitable = 2k of monthly recurring revenue is the aim.

Conclusion: What I had in mind for June 1st is now going to happen from today on until July 1st (and maybe or probably even longer than): I’ll go dark and enter HYPER FOCUS for maximum copywriting client work success. This means no more public studiolist diary until end of June (for now) and maybe longer and no extensive marketing.

Thanks for reading.

I appreciate you.

…The chat itself is more distracting and topic-wise all over the place.

I also published the short roadmap sub-page for Copywriting Delivery and updated the whole page, so that all new content is online!

Then I created the visual for this last public diary day here on social media and wrote the lines you’ve been reading.

It’s 01.56am. Ready for bed. And if you made to here, below you find a reward… the very important conclusion of today—and the reason why you won’t hear from me for a while.

And today was day number 2 of using WIP.chat again. I stopped using it in March or so and now I’m back which is mainly due to this great application called WIP Menubar - https://wip.chat/menubar. The app allows me to not have to open Telegram but only use a keyboard shortcut and enter a todo or write what I got done. I think it’s awesome. The community aspect of WIP.chat is only relevant for me in terms of its asynchronous functions, e.g. Q&A…

Then a bit more CSS fiddling for the Mailchimp signup form and a run. Yes, I did a run again and earlier this morning I was even doing soft stretching exercises while listening to mediative sounds called „The Pilgrim“ via https://mynoise.net. Digging it!

I worked more on Copywriting Delivery and set up a newsletter for people to sign up for if they’re interested to dominate their niche market. I’m going to research 10,000+ resources over the next years and share early results exclusively via email. You can sign up at www.copywriting.delivery/newsletter/ - this is something for Heidi :)

Today’s biggest epiphany was a new mantra for me to live by:

1. Work on your product,
2. get product-market(-founder) fit,
3. exercise,
4. eat healthy and
5. spend time with quality people who add value to your life

This is my new guiding principle to live by, and this also led to the conclusion of today (see further below).

Then more time spent on listening to Naval Ravikant’s „How to get rich“ podcast episode (3 hours of goodness and wisdom). One of my conclusion was the raise of my hourly rate to 5,000€/hr. An hourly rate absurdly as 5k makes sure that I’m only spending time on things that really matter to me. You never know how long this live is going to last… *memento mori*

Then orga work - replying the most urgent and important emails as well as updating my Calendly availability. I will no longer make it possible to schedule a meeting with me on the weekend. Why? A weekend is considered sabbatical-like time. And one condition for a sabbatical is „You don’t schedule in advance“ because one big point of a sabbatical is the release form obligations - a scheduled meeting would be an obligation because you need to attend.

I got up and tidied up, did the laundry and continued writing on a draft for a copywriting show. I ALMOST STARTED THE SHOW TODAY but then I realized it would be a distraction. I have to get my impulses under control. They are next - next to my biological-reproduction urges - my own inmost worst enemy.

Then the usual tasks, checking via video for the startup diary, sharing Copywriting Daily, and day job.
