Trying to get your business going while working a full time job and juggling hat and promotional products orders is utterly FRUSTRATING and exhausting. ChatGPT has is my new BFF for trying to set up all these darn social media sites. When you wonder what I'm up to, this was my list today (and most like 100% to blame for being single because my butt has been on the couch all day -- highly unusual for me).
1. Up at 6:30 am with coffee and computer on couch with feet up (yep, the foot surgery is in the 3rd week of recovery and swelling isn't pretty)
2. Put together a new Boone Tuff video for the ladies hats yesterday and revised it today because I had an epiphany about their logo at the end, separating it and adding sh***un blasts as the audio (genius, I agree... :) )
3. Pulled together Coty Taylor's shirt designs so I can load them all whenever the website is ready. Site is being built by Main Street Collective LLC and Lindsey is a saint for putting up with all my questions.
3.a. Built out all the pricing sheets for long sleeve and short sleeve shirts.
3.b. Drafted policies for B2B sales.
4. Let the cats out at least 4 times and, that unemployed roommate named Maverick, at least 10.
5. Researched apps that cross post across all social media sites and decided to tri Metricool and started programming all the websites which lead me down the rabbit hole of moving my YouTube channel from my personal email to my business email and which started an argument with ChatGBT about the instructions it was giving me (I won, of course but was completely frustrated).
6. Somewhere in there, started a new engraving for Skippy's Top Hat, but I'm still not satisfied with the outcome and now I need more product from LoneStar Adhesive. That top hat is going to be rockin'.
7. Finally finished setting up the TikTok account and their app finally took my Hostage Documents aka IRS tax ID numbers. Tik Tok, here we come Coty Taylor.
8. It's now 10 pm and I'm working on a new video. Chat is in time out because it was overworked today and can't remove a simple background. Ah well, there's always the manual way known as photoshop.
