Good Things Take A Long Time

It’s been difficult to write lately.

I have nothing new to say.

Every day for the last few months has been a constant and monotonous grind. This sales team is killing me. But I’m not the only one.

David has been working for months to build the functionality of the Recovery Local product we’ve been working on. You probably don’t know this, but one of the reason’s why I embarked on this journey to build a sales team is because the team and I decided to create an advertising product on our Recovery Local sites.

We now have the ability to sell listings on our directories.

We now offer …

• verified listings

• featured city listings

• featured state listings

Now, if we were just building this functionality on Sober Nation, it would be easy. But since we hate ourselves and we want to make life as difficult as possible, we are building the functionality on all 4 sites.

Each site is built differently. So there’s no one size fits all way to do it.

David has been killing himself to get this done. On top of that, he’s been keeping up with all our Stodzy clients and continuing to be available for fixes and putting out fires.

David’s been building the product and I’ve been building the sales. It’s all I think about.

It’s killing my creativity.

What we are attempting to build is very difficult. It’s so hard. In truth, the last 4 months of work has been some of the most difficult work I’ve ever done in my life. Every single day I am attempting to do something that I don’t quite know how to do.

It’s hard.

But worth it.

It’s coming together. Day by day, inch by inch, we are making progress.

I am learning so much. I am finding more and more ways to add value to the market and every day I am becoming 1% better than the day before.

It’s going to pay off. It has to.

It’s unreasonable to think that it won’t
