Chalk Rebels 90D Challenge

I received a nice personal email from Robin (hi, Robin!) ... This is the mail:

I saw your updates on Indie Hackers (Daily Stand up).

I was thinking of doing a 90 Day Challenge/Push on some goals that I am currently working on and wondered if you would like to be accountability buddies.

For the next 90 days, the two of us could post every day to Daily standup.

Start Date: Monday, 26th July 2021
End Date: Sunday, 26 September 2021

If you are interested let me know.

@Robin: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I'm going to take up a single thread this time. don't want to pollute the whole group with my updates.

    19/07 - 12/90

    In a way this feels like conceding defeat that these daily posts are not working as they should. 14 days since last update! Haven't been posting here regularly because IH was "out of sight": been spending more time in a different online community. A summary of the last two weeks:

    • Signed a massive deal with a materials supplier which will allow us to produce our liquid chalk in a far more environmentally conscious way.
    • Been looking for investments to actually be able to pay said deal. 4/5th done.
    • Sales picking up slowly.

    • Today: Need to be calling gyms + follow up on the supplier deal + follow up with potential investors.
    • Yesterday: gym visit done, package drop done, 1 investor talk done, talked to client who wasn't paying and resolved the issue.

    • Today: a whole lot more sample packages shipped.
