639. Total Business Revenue, Tedious Work

Recorded on: Saturday, July 19, 2025, 09:30 PM

Episode Summary by AI

I vented while working late, reflecting on how hard it is to finalize my systems while people are already using them. I'm trying to perfect the payroll and revenue tracking tools, but rebuilding them mid-use feels like a nightmare. I talked through how to track metrics like churn, how complicated all the “if this then that” logic is, and why I won’t settle for a cut-corner version. So far I’ve made $14,342 and projected $15,402 this month.

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I’m overwhelmed but focused. I feel stuck between doing what’s good enough and what’s great, knowing I’ll hate myself later if I settle. I’m proud of the money coming in, but frustrated that improving systems means going backward just to go forward. I think I overestimate others’ expectations, and that puts pressure on me, but part of me thrives on it. I’m just trying to make something solid that actually lasts and scales.
