638. Big Vision, Hard to START Work, Easy to NOT Stop

Recorded on: Friday, July 18, 2025, 04:11 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I reflect on how starting work is my biggest hurdle, especially when resuming complex projects like the mega bizlog, PT Dom systems, and custom trackers for coaches. I explain my backup process, earnings, long-term software vision, and struggles with procrastination. I outline seven phases of product development toward selling software and share the desire to shift from building to selling. Despite the challenges, once I get going, it's hard to stop. I made $10.95 from podcast ads this year.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I’m overwhelmed by how much I’ve built and how much more there is to do. I feel stuck in the middle between the joy of building and the urgency to start selling. Starting is hard, restarting is harder, but once I’m in, I’m all in. There’s definitely a little worry about whether I’ll be needed long-term by the people I’m building for, but I’m also really proud of how far this has come.
