643. So Complex…

Episode Summary by AI

I'm deep in building an ultra-complex Notion system to track every possible metric for fitness coaches, including 132 auto-calculating formulas across multiple databases. I’m obsessively verifying accuracy, filtering for current vs all-time data, and facing the challenge of chart compatibility with rollups. It's grown into a massive structure with over 160 columns. With clients like Trey, Dawson, and Mina waiting, the pressure’s on, but I remind myself that just ONE $5K sale per month is enough to survive.

Notable Quotes From This Episode, by AI

• "If there's one inaccuracy, if one thing is wrong, especially if it's obviously wrong... I just question the integrity of the entire system."
• "To think that in order for me to survive and provide for myself... I only have to make one sale a month... that is just really reassuring."
• "It's kind of like I'm getting one sale a month based on how much I'm getting paid... and to think about it that way... I can't complain, dude. This is very cool."

My Thoughts & Feelings for Today - Summarized by AI

I feel overwhelmed but proud. This system has spiraled into something way more intense than I ever expected, and while it's frustrating to deal with so many details, I know the end result is going to be game-changing. I'm a bit stressed by client pressure and the complexity of making everything perfect, but I also feel secure knowing that financially I just need to land one sale a month. I’m in deep, but I’m all in.
