Month: May 2019

Day 1 of following a morning routine!

I’ll keep it up for a week and then evaluate!

Ok, so it was supposed to be 5 minutes, but I had so much fun brainstorming the ideas below! I did it for an hour haha.

Ideas start to flow after 15 minutes or so, so I think this is great for my business and my brain.

• Why do people follow certain IG accounts?
  • Know what we’ll get from the account. e.g. cute Frenchie photos. Funny captions. Informative caption about sea life, beautiful images of travel
  • It’s like TED. It’s about: T here is knowledge instead; informative content. E here is Entertainment still. We love to be amused. So cute photos, funny or clever caption. D here is something visually beautiful or sexy.
  • To be followed, the content needs to be consistent. Mycutestfrenchies will not post animals that are not Frenchies.
  • Also, to be followed, it has to be content that people want. What do people want?
    • I want: a dose of cuteness, motivational or inspiring ideas and quotes, interesting info, good looking guys, fashion style tips, fashion ideas and inspiration
    • Basically something that improves my life in some ways.
    • Health, wealth, love and connection. That’s what we all want.
    • What would my Knot Theory ring customers want?
      • Who are they?
        • Probably someone in a loving relationship
        • Someone active
        • Maybe has kids
      • Relationship / friendship tips – actual good info; maybe partner with someone.
      • Motivational quotes about relationships and love
      • Ring fashion – we’ll do a lot of good photos
      • Will they like photos of couples? Maybe a little bit but not too much.
      • Beautiful people wearing Knot Theory. Men and women. See which one gets more likes. Activities include:
        • drinking coffee, tea, smoothies, power shakes
        • sitting at a laptop or computer
        • working out
        • doing cool sports
        • travelling
      • I bet if we just post zoomed in photos of Knot Theory rings with good filters it’ll gain more traction than it does now, because at least it’s consistent. Gives a good idea of what to expect of the rings. And it generates a sense of “many people” wearing the rings. good inspiration for how to match the rings.
      • Action: See what watches and jewellery companies with great following are doing. Find 10 accounts. 
      • Action: start churning out these photos based on my findings of what works! Hire people. Tina. Airbnb “experience” IG photographers. Pay $10 per photo or less.
        
• How to get people to be my sales person?
  • Commission doesn’t seem to be a good way. Too old fashioned. Too “greedy”
  • Influencer points? (Street cred)
  • Donation to a good cause points? Or the option to choose between getting a discount or donating to a good cause? “Choose cause to donate to”, and one of them could be “me”. It’ll be funny.

• How can I get Mike to have a deep and meaningful and fun conversation with me? I like his brain. I like the way he thinks. Maybe there’s a layer of arrogance and contempt and pessimism. But he is different. He is witty and clever. He is hilarious. I want to be more hilarious. I can learn from him.

How can I get him to initiate conversations with me?

What’s stopping him now?

1. He is busy with work and this is not as important. Doesn’t make him money.
2. He is passive. Doesn’t take initiative to talk to people generally.
3. He has lots of other friends that are more interesting to talk to (maybe)
4. I have a boyfriend (maybe)
5. I don’t seem interested in dating him (maybe)

What is he interested in?

1. Human psychology and behaviour
   1. He was interested in who posted about going to female strip club. I’m not sure why…I think it’s because he is curious about people, but it could be that he likes someone.
2. Debating a topic
3. What apps might sell. Maybe.
4. What stocks to buy. Maybe.

He shares so little about his personal life with me. Maybe he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t ever reach out to me. He always replies. But it could be just out of politeness.

I can try asking him more about him.

How are you? What are you busy with these days?

Sometimes when I think about how little effort he puts into our relationship, I feel that I really don’t want to reach out to him.

The thing is, people who want to reach out are usually less cool. They want to hang out with me but I don’t want to hang out with them. Is it like that?

He does like me though. Just in very small doses perhaps. Like how he thinks Anna-Marie was “too much”, “too energetic”. Whaat. I’m even more so than her!

Everyone is different. Maybe I’ll just let this relation mellow out. I don’t want to, but that’s how he is turning it into. Into nothing.

I can be a very interesting person that everyone wants to be with, but he won’t know, because he has no way of knowing. Unless he checks my IG without me knowing.

Ok, conclusion: I’ll leave him alone for a while. I’ll ask him how he is doing in a month or so.

 

I’m excited about next steps!

I must admit I didn’t feel this way earlier today. Until I:

1. Exercised
2. Listened to motivating interview with David Asprey and others
3. Listened to Tim Ferriss morning routine

The mind is what you feed it. The body is what you feed it. And for both you have to exercise them. Simple.

1. Feed it with good stuff
2. Exercise it
3. Rest as needed

I’m going to implement a morning routine. I’ll start with TF’s.

• Meditate, breathe
• Drink ginger ginseng cacao MCT
• Journal – gratitude, plan for the day
• Exercise – cold shower

I might try it in this order:

• Exercise
• Drink
• Journal
• Meditate

 

I’m going to also implement a night routine. Set myself up for good dreams, good sleeps, relaxed and joyful state.

• Gratitude before bed time
• Visualize the life I want
• Flash card of beautiful words
• Maybe journalling

What I want in life?

• I want to laugh a lot
• Experience good friendships
• Have a best friend who is also my boyfriend
• Be surrounded by kind, sincere, smart, funny, interesting, accomplished people
• Freedom to do anything I want (money and time and health)
• Have someone I love to do it with (a boyfriend!)
• Accomplish some cools things! Build a house. Have a 7 figure business before 41. Have made and saved more than $4MM before 42
• Be very skilled at 2 or 3 things
• Feel joyful, happy, excited about life almost all the time!

I know what I need to do to grow my business at this stage:

1. More ring styles
2. More colors
3. Better translations in different countries
4. More reviews on my website
5. More IG-style ring photos
6. More marketing methods – affiliate, manychat, FB ads
7. More sales channels – Stores, wholesale
8. Automate / Systemize / Delegate the above
9. Venture into bracelets

4. Broadcast my new skills / my learning process to attract more interesting people into my life
5. Be well-read
6. Be playful

8. Be a good friend
9. Be an inspiring friend

Omg I love new beginnings!

WifiTribe is done. Trip with Mom is done. I’m back in Vancouver, and I can:

1. Sign up for dance classes!
2. Learn to skateboard!
3. Sign up for martial arts!
4. Develop a beauty regime such as microneedling!
5. Develop exercise regime such as running and swimming and developing my abs!
6. Eat healthy!
7. Learn to invest!
8. Expand my business!
9. Grow and learn and live and be happy!

I have 3.5 months until Burning Man (August 25 ~ September 5). Then after that, the next trip is to Fiji during September 26- October 4.

I’m just realizing that Burning Man requires a lot of prep! Gotta get a bike, camping gear, and all the costumes! It’ll be fun thinking up the costumes though 🙂

Masha will be away in Europe June 2~June 12 and sometime in July around her birthday! I can’t wait. In June a girl will be staying here instead of me getting the whole place to myself. Annoying, but still better than having Artsy around. He is so super annoying now.

I still think about Mike a lot. The more I think back about our time together, the more I’m certain that he was into me. If he thinks back about me, he’ll know that I was into him too.

He made me laugh. He appreciated my sense of humour. And that means so much to me.

I can’t believe I’m still thinking about him after 1 month! Almost everyday I wish that he’d message me.

Johnny Bunny has been sweet. I was so impatient to him and wanted to break up again. I walked away mid-sex. I got mad at him 3 or 4 times in our 2 days together. He stayed patient. That’s a rare quality about him. I still don’t see us together, sigh. I wish he was as funny as Mike. And as conversational. That will make him perfect, pretty much. He is fine with chilling and just having a laid back time together laughing at shows. I’m not fine with that. I want to have deep conversations, intelligent debates, witty banter.

Masha talked to me about this, as she revels in being single and sleeping with a bunch of guys, having, finally, amazing sex with Jay the “greek god”. She keeps on trying to discover my pattern and find out what I’m stuck on, and wants me to get out of this relationship with John.

I realized that I’m not stuck on anything. I simply want to be in a relationship for now. I just wished it was with someone I feel that I can be with forever. Someone I can fall in love with.

Dating is like travelling, and each person is like a country. I’m just a bit sick of being a nomad for 10 years now, 29 to 39. I want to settle down in a “country”. Do the routine. Enjoy the small things. Enjoy that feeling of familiarity. Enjoy having someone care about me. Build on a foundation.

Mike is so funny, but he is selfish. He is cynical. He is hard to be with.

Bunny is rarely funny, but he is sweet to me. He is patient with me. He is willing. He doesn’t give up on us, ever.

We had a good evening last night, going to Bin 4. Sex before that. He tried his best, initiating sex when I got there like I wanted. It wasn’t the best sex, but I appreciate him putting the effort in. Bin 4 was delicious with and it was happy hour to our surprise! He was quite boring to dine with, but he was much more cooperating now than before. I said I was cold, and wanted him to rub my thighs. He didn’t want to do it in public, but he did it still.

Bunny has been tight on money and has become more money conscious. I don’t like that, but, will be good to see him thrive eventually. I hope I can help him.

Still need to break up with him at some point because I need the surprise factor and the depth and the belling-aching laughs. But for now, we can comfort each other.
