Month 30: Decade Journey
Month 30, July 2026.
$1 million USD in 5 years, 60 months, but will keep going until 120 months
Where I am
Oh man, we are already at 1/3rd of the challenge. I feel somewhat nervous and excited. I say a third but in truth I had the first 12 months working a job with basically zero progress on my own adventures, but well, might consider part of it.
This was another usual month, nothing extraordinary happened. We are in talks now to potentially have our largest customer yet. I will do my best to deliver them great results as it can be really impactful for us.
In other news, I have been automating a lot of busy work that I used to do by hand. Claude has been of great help (the “timetracker” app is still going strong).
Mostly due to this app, I noticed I have had more focused hours in a day. It is probably because this feels like a competition with myself.
For example, I know Wednesdays are very productive days so I always try to beat the previous Wednesday “score”. It is a little game I have fun with.
Having almost 7h of focused work, meaning: no smartphones, no juggling different things, just plain work, is almost insane to me.
Apart from that, I feel like I am slowing down (?) I'm not sure if that will make sense but I don’t think I have been doing very impactful work lately, though this can be a biased option as I am in this “work mode” 24/7, so it feels like pretty much the same.
Every month I am understanding more of the business I am in and where we could improve and drive more revenue. I am excited about that and the fact that things are somewhat moving.
Where I am going
Content cadency is finally where I would like it to be. I have been super consistent shipping 2 linkedin posts and 1 video every week. I only missed one week of videos because I literally didn’t have anything of value to share, so might as well not share anything.
This cadence is only working because I’ve blocked off my Wednesday morning specifically for that. No other tasks.
Now that we have the cadence nailed, it is time to work on getting the quality of those content pieces a lot higher. I think I have a good strategy for LinkedIn but meanwhile, Youtube has been super hard to crack. I will keep shipping and learning, and already have a few things I want to try.
Another thing I am working on is the GTM Academy for LATAM. I wrapped up all the topics that I need to cover for this particular course structure and it will be ready to record / edit in this month. It is going to be an enormous task to pull off but I will give it a try, it can be really game changing for the business.
Reminder from the previous month:
Be more consistent with the things that scale. Nothing is as bad as it seems.
