Today was all about planning and preparing. I've read and reread all the traffic leaks post and I'm confident I understand the principles just need to master the application.
I didn't actually get much stuff done but did find a pretty interesting tool called Reddit Later -...

It feels like I've turned a corner with my motivation. I now know that even if I feel super unmotivated to grind it out, if I just sit down and type I can almost always work through and get in the zone.
I didn't get as much work done as I'd hoped but with travelling home from...

Yesterday was a bit of a rough day - my web dev emailed me back saying he didn't have time to work on the two scripts that I needed and it seemed too tempting to just sit and watch trash TV.
I thought about why I was doing this, how if the site is a roaring success I'll be...
It's been a rough couple of days where I've felt unfocused and unmotivated. I guess these are the days that test you to see how badly you want to succeed!

I've been using this template on the landing page and it seems pretty easy to play around with so if I can get a nice design then I'm sure it'll be easy to drop...

Hey @SomeFries - in the same position as you where I'm a long time lurker on many forums (not just marketing) but you're right, there's just something about BuSo that brings out the hidden 'poster' in everyone!

Today was a poor day where I spent most my time in meetings and by the time I got in from work I was pretty beat. It's a bad excuse I know!
I did manage to plan what I need to do over the next 7 days.

- Fix an issue with the...

All my time this week has been spent working on the CC9 homework assignments (it's been tough) but fingers crossed I'm now up-to-date with everything.
I've not had time to get my ebook/new posts/social media posts sorted but hopefully I'll get some time over the...

Okay so Christmas is done for another year and it must be about time to get back to work.

Today was pretty full on with the 9-5 and I only managed to spend a couple of hours working on the website and the majority of the time was spend trying to fix my monumental cock up!
