I am continuing to get my home office set up and it is coming along quite well! I have my sitting desk set up and am working to get my treadmill desk set up with a wireless access point for it.

 

I have been putting a ton of work into my ProvenRecruits software for recruiting. I feel like every time I fix one bug, I discover two more features or bug ideas that I need to work on. The app is slowly coming together though and I am very excited to onboard my first customers next week!

I enjoy playing chess and Rocket League on occasion. I have definitely learned about myself from both:

• Patience – I often am impatient in Chess and make moves faster than necessary before considering all options. I am trying to learn to wait and really think about everything first. Same with Rocket League, instead of just chasing the ball around the map like a little dog after a rabbit I am trying to watch the ball come in and then make a plan for how to handle it.

For the first time in seven years, I will be working remotely starting next week. I started the company from home, and after a little less than a year hired people to start working with me in my apartment. Three years of apartment work later, Coalition moved into an actual office in Culver City. I am nervous now about going back to remote work because I want to make sure I am able to keep my motivation up at a high level.… read more “Nervous about Remote Work”

I would eventually like to write a book or two. I am just too busy right now with the business though. I have had a few ideas and even outlined and started a couple. I had a fantasy book with gates where the character would level up. I thought about a nonfiction based on my early business years and relationships.

Today, I did the Marine Fitness test again on the treadmill. I do feel like it is much easier to run on a treadmill then in real life, but I am still happy to report that I am improving. This time I was able to maintain a 8.2 mph pace / 7:18 per mile. My goal is to continue to increment this up 0.1 every week or so until I reach 10 mph!… read more “Run Today”

I noticed that even though my physical fitness levels have been rising with my run times on the treadmill, it seems that my waist line is expanding slightly. At one point, my pants were a little loose on me when wearing waist size 33. I have noticed now that even 34’s are a little tight on me.… read more “Heavier”

Recently, a malicious person had started making changes to my business’s Google Business listing. Google actually allows anyone to make edits anytime to any Business listing it seems. I had to keep changing it back multiple times a day. I requested access to Google My Business API and was granted access. I built an app last night that automatically detects changes and reverts the changes.… read more “Preventing Changes To My Google Business Listing using Laravel & the API”

I mentioned a month ago or so that I had done the Marine Corps Fitness test for fun on a treadmill in Washington. At that time, I had scored a 23:20 for the 3 mile run. I have done it twice since. The next time I sustained a pace of 7:30 per mile for a total of 22:30.… read more “Marine Corps Fitness Test Yesterday”
