I talk about feeling sick but still pushing through a full workout and a two-mile run. I reflect on the peace of mind that comes from knowing I’d be financially okay if clients like Trey or Mina let me go, even if money got tight. Tracking my work hours showed I’ve been working less than I thought, which gave me perspective. I’m nearing completion of my system, feeling motivated, and recognizing how close I am to launching.
