I'll be back ... put the updates on hold for a couple weeks as I needed to focus on a new website launch. Once it launches I'll start updating again.

UPDATE #7: In the battle of offline vs online life, offline came out champion last week Basically the last 7 days were a wash. Did research for articles but didn't have access to do any updating to the website. I'll need to kick it up a notch this upcoming week to make up for it. This also...

UPDATE #6: Well that was a fast weekend! I knew there would be some less-than-stellar hustle weekends but didn't expect it so soon in the journey. Had three "goals" for the weekend but only managed to work on one of them. Guess I have some catching up to do tonight. Did research on the blog...

UPDATE #5: 11 days in and still going strong! OOPS AND MORE OOPS Make sure to keep an eye on your Google Analytics on at least a daily basis as it is a great bug-tracking tool. Once the blog started getting traffic I noticed that there was an almost 100% bounce rate. This was really confusing...

Next update not planned until Friday. The update schedule for this journey is two times per week (Monday and Friday).

UPDATE #4: Happy early first week birthday to my blog. I'm posting this on Sunday night instead of Monday since I'll be traveling all day tomorrow. TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC AND MORE TRAFFIC Since we opened our doors on 9/1 we have had 32 visits (look out ViralNova! :)). Of that, 44% came via social...

UPDATE #3: Yay! As you know from my mini-update, the blog launched on time! Even more amazing is that it took Google less than 24 hours to index the homepage of the blog. Granted the page disappeared the next day, but it came back. So far there have been two posts published and both got...

ANOTHER QUICK UPDATE: The website went live with its first post yesterday morning and I just checked and the website is already ranked in Google. I haven't promoted it nor submitted it to any directories or search engines. Only Google part of the website is analytics. Hadn't realized how fast...

QUICK UPDATE: Installed WordPress and have the first post scheduled to be posted tomorrow. Yay! Hitting my 9/1 deadline to get the blog launched.

Probably will after the first 30 days.

UPDATE #2: I'm 99.9999% sure that I will be launching tomorrow (ON TIME!) which is always a great way to start a journey. LAYOUT / DESIGN I spent the majority of the weekend finishing up the HTML / CSS and integrating that into WordPress. After spending the last 5+ years building...

UPDATE #1 Welcome to the first update of my time to "Shut Up and Hustle" journey. DEVELOPMENT I spent the first part of this week researching other high performing business blogs. One of the best sources in my mind is Flippa. Granted there are a lot of exaggerated numbers in the sales...

Well hello there! Welcome to my journey. Take a look around, just try not to break anything ... because that is what I'm here for ... to break as much as possible. WHAT'S THIS JOURNEY ALL ABOUT: Like most of us here at BHW, we have hundreds of ideas popping in and out of our heads on a...

Wow! Thanks everyone. Got someone hired. Will let you know if I need some more workers.

Compiling some database information for a new website I'm launching and currently have 420ish records to input. Each record would be 8-10 info fields on a specific business. You would need to visit the website for each business to find out a majority of the information. 99% of this task will...
