Episode Summary by AI

I reflected on Dan Martell’s advice to stop selling time and start selling outcomes, realizing I need to move away from hourly work. While still relying on hourly jobs to pay off debt, I began cold DM outreach to fitness coaches using a Notion tracker I built. Messaging 11 accounts was surprisingly fun, unlike my past outreach in fitness. I also struggled with complex Notion automation but stayed driven, discovering new formula tricks along the way.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

Today I felt a real shift. Dan Martell’s quote hit me hard, and I realized I’m so done with selling my time. There’s something really energizing about this new direction with Notion systems for fitness coaches—it doesn’t feel forced like the fitness content did. I know I still need the hourly gigs for now, but I’m actually enjoying building systems and experimenting with messaging. Even though some tech stuff frustrated the hell out of me, I felt genuinely excited and proud.
