What I’m Doing Right NOW!

People often ask me what I’m doing now.

This is mostly my fault, because I work on a LOT of different things at any given time.

Each time, I would type out a reply, describing where I’m at, what I’m focused on, and what I’m not.

So I created this page.

A simple link. Easy to remember. Easy to type.

It’s a nice reminder for myself, when I’m feeling unfocused. A public declaration of priorities.

(If I’m doing something that’s not on my list, is it something I want to add, or something I want to stop?)

What I’m Working On Right MEOW

I’m working full time, staying super focused, and avoiding all distractions.  I spend all of my time on these things (in addition to my full-time job):

Hustle (The Work)

Right now, I’m focusing on really pushing traffic, growth, and revenue for my main side hustle.  Here’s what that looks like:

• Working remotely (we all are, but I’ve been leading SEO teams remotely since 2018).
• Making big moves as a growth marketer at ActiveCampaign
• Going on other people’s podcasts. It’s one of my favorite things in the world.
• Supporting my students in SEO for the Rest of Us.
• Consulting with the best SaaS and software companies in the world ? Growth Sprints

Heart (The Not Work)

• Monitoring the developing (and re-re-developing) COVID pandemic to keep my family and community safe
• Playing with my wife and boys
• Desperately attempting to focus on my health, fitness, and sleep

Those are my priorities. Honestly, there needs to be less on that list (I’m working on it).

I don’t want to do anything else right now. (This means I’m saying NO to pretty much everything until further notice.)

Things I’m Not Working on Right Now

• My niche sites – In have three sites about things that I love (photography, coffee, and camping) and enjoy building on the side. Right now, those are all just enjoying slow “natural” organic growth.,
• Starring in the sequel to Inception where Sally Draper hires Leo & co to sort out Don’s past and incept him (but this would be the most rad thing ever right?)

People often ask me to do other things. I sincerely wish them the best, and often wish I could help more, but I say no to all requests, because I just need to focus on my work and family.

If my activities or priorities change, I’ll update this page. Last update was March, 2020.
