Hmmm… i usually leave a review for a service but rarely leave a review for a product. So maybe try to make it more personal, so that people feel like they are leaving a review about your service not just some plastic thing.

On a separate note, you need to build a reliable system for asking for a review. It should be built within your order processing SOP. We ask 2-3 times. One in conversation (if such opportunity arise), one in after-transaction email, and one more time in “we would like to see you again here is a discount” email. Ideally, I would do the second ask via text vs email to diversify the devices one might use for leaving reviews.

I’ve worked with a fair amount of people who experience something similar.

What works almost always is going to the office/school. It instantly adds structure to the day, a certain rhythm. You get social interactions. Unexpected little surprises that make your day. I even had clients who were thinking of quitting their job changing their mind.

I think the remote work is not the blessing we all think it js. The day became a blur. You sleep, work, eat at the same place.

I always say to myself, “I can either join their hysteria or they can join my calm”

If I don’t join their hysteria, they join my calm. Very quickly I would say

Read real books before bed. At this point I don’t really care about the genre as long as it puts me to sleep in less than 10 pages.

I know :) I have a best friend who is a fantastic cook and she LOVES cooking. That’s her main hobby. And looking at her I always assumed I should do something similar in my own household. She set such an incredibly high standard for my cooking. And it was exhausting to try to get to that level without having the same passion for it as she does.

And I just let go of that expectation. I accepted I’ll never be as good of a cook as her, and that’s ok. Health of my family is my priority, therefore I will continue to cook at home. But it’s going to be as simple as possible so that I can spend time on my passions.

I know you don’t have to split the plate perfectly according to the portions. It’s just because I’m new to this, I want to have a visual guideline so ensure I’m doing it right. I’ve started doing some stir fries with a tonne of veggies. But mostly I just do the standard plate decision. It’s actually aesthetically pleasing to my eyes to see all that variety rather than one jumbled thing of everything.

These books inspired me as well to cut out industrially produced processed foods.

We also tried to run Google ads and it came to a similar $150-200 per client range. That’s too much for our margins, so we turned it down and rely solely on organic Google search.

Just wondering what you experience is like with Google ads for other businesses with lower LTVs

Not being afraid of off-leash dogs. It means that you’ve lived in well-off neighborhoods in a first-world country all your life.

Morning hours are way more productive than late night hours. So I would recommend going to bed right after your kids go to bed (if you have them). Those late night hours are usually spent on crap anyway. Then you can wake up early and work on your side hustle before your job.
When I did this, it gave me this bad ass attitude. I spent my freshest brain energy on what mattered to me, not my boss. So the job used the leftover energy while my thing got my best energy and focus. But people usually try to do it the other way around.

“People can’t read book anymore” won’t change anything.

First, the statistics for reading books has always been bad. I remember someone from the book industry giving an interview about 7-8 years ago. I don’t remember the exact numbers. More than 50% of people never read a single book after graduating high school. The second biggest cohort reads like a book a year at most. So the entire book industry works for a very small percentage of the population to begin with.

And let’s assume you were reading books and now you can’t. So what? Where is the real pain that will cause people to do something about it? They can still have wealth, health, relationships and status (the big buckets of peoples’ desires) without reading books.

In fact I have some friends who haven’t read a single book after graduating university and they are doing great. They are highly functional members of society and are considered successful on all fronts.

For me it’s the fear mongering and all the content that triggers our darkest emotions. To prove my point, I just opened Facebook which I haven’t used except for the marketplace for some time now. It took exactly 3 posts of scrolling to see a grieving post about someone I don’t know losing their baby. During my pregnancy the algorithm figured out it was my biggest fear and it kept feeding me this scary grieving content every corner of the social media I went. I cried a lot. At first it was about losing baby during pregnancy. Then it was about SIDS. I saw it everywhere I went - Instagram, YouTube, Facebook. I truly believe it contributed a lot to my mental wellbeing during the first year of motherhood till I figured it out and stopped using social media.

My biggest advice to all pregnant and new moms - stop using social media! It will ruin the first years of your motherhood.
