Episode Summary by AI

I was offered a full-time Head of Operations role by Riley, who runs a $298K/month fitness coaching business with nearly 500 clients and 23 coaches. The offer was $6K/month, but it would demand 8 hours/day, leaving no room for current projects. After deep thought and advice from Lexi and Mina, I decided to counter with a system-build-and-train package instead. Staying loyal to Trey, Dawson, and Mina while scaling what I build aligns better with my long-term vision of selling packaged systems and eventually launching software.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

“You, yourself, especially with our last conversation of the time management thing, like, I think you should be a master of your time first.”

“Because then we would just be a company that builds cool shit for business owners. Dude, that gets me fired up.”

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I felt torn between what looked like an insane opportunity and what actually aligns with my real vision. Riley's offer was flattering, and I wanted it, but deep down I know I’d be trading the long game for quick cash. Lexi and Mina really helped me zoom out and see the big picture. I'm proud I paused, stepped back, and chose me over the paycheck. It’s hard not to chase shiny objects, but I’m playing to win the long game now.

What I Did Today - Summarized by AI

Had a Zoom call with Riley about a full-time role, discussed it in depth with Lexi and Mina, calculated time and income tradeoffs, voiced my decision to stay the course, drafted a counteroffer, brainstormed system packaging strategy, and got a message from Ritzie about moving her team from Google Sheets to Notion.
