  • Add video ideas for loom

    Zoom / Teams / Skype = everybody has to be there at the same time.Loom = you talk to future people whenever you want.

    🎯 Why it’s magic for your sprint

    1. Record once → watch many times.
    2. Link never changes, so you can drop it in Notion, YouTube description, FB post, or e-mail.
    3. Loom adds captions by itself, so you get free subtitles and text for your Gumroad page.

    📅 The tiny plan you start Monday

    Day What you do 3-minute Loom idea
    MON Deep-Work Block Fix a tricky CSS bug Record your screen while you fix it. Say, “Here’s how I solved the flexbox mystery.” Stop. Copy link. Paste into Notion under “Content Atomisation.”
    TUE Student Impact Teach BGFC class After class, open the repo, run the code, record a 60-second recap: “These two lines made your navbar responsive.” Share unlisted link to the class FB group.
    WED Client Sprint Finish a new website section Record a 2-minute walkthrough: “Look, your contact form now saves to Google Sheets.” Copy link → send to client → embed same link on Gumroad as demo video.

    That’s it: press, talk, copy link, done.Each tiny video becomes three pieces of content later (YT short, FB reel, e-mail tip) without extra work.

  • Add make.com powerful automations

    Scenario Why Make is faster
    Quick SaaS integrations 2,000+ native apps vs n8n’s 1,000+. Hooking Gumroad → Google Sheets → Slack literally takes 5 clicks.
    No server babysitting Cloud-only; zero Docker updates, perfect when you’re sprinting to launch the ₱499 mini-course Monday.
    Visual debugging Step-by-step replay is beginner-friendly for your VA or student assistant who might inherit the workflow.

    💡 Practical rule of thumb for your use-case

    1. Week-1 automations (YouTube → Gumroad lead magnet → email list)➜ Use Make.com because it’s live in 5 minutes and you’re racing the sprint clock.
    2. Month-2+ heavy flows (auto-generate 100 portfolio sites from student repos, or bulk-parse NC2 certificates)➜ Move those to n8n self-hosted once the cash flow is steady and volume spikes.
    3. Hybrid cheatKeep Make for external SaaS glue (Gumroad, Slack, Google) and n8n for custom logic; trigger n8n from Make via webhook when you need the extra horsepower.

    Bottom line: Make buys you speed now; n8n buys you scale later.

  • Build three flywheels that never stop

    A. YouTube → Course → Client

    1. Free YouTube tutorial (SEO keyword “CSS NC2 Philippines”).
    2. CTA to a ₱499 mini-course (Gumroad or Teachable).
    3. Upsell to ₱5 k weekend bootcamp (Zoom + Vercel deployment).

    B. BGFC → Portfolio → Referral

    1. Every student must ship one public repo + live site.
    2. End of semester “demo day” streamed on your FB page; invite local businesses.
    3. Collect testimonials → use as social proof for A and C.

    C. Day-Job → IP → Product

    1. Anything you automate at work becomes a Notion template or VS Code snippet.
    2. Sanitise and sell the template on Gumroad (₱199).
    3. Document the story on LinkedIn → attracts recruiters and future clients.

  • Tech stack that keeps you light

    • Recording: OBS + a ₱1 500 lapel mic.
    • Editing: CapCut desktop (free).
    • Hosting: GitHub Pages (free) → upgrade to Vercel Pro when revenue > ₱20 k/mo.
    • Payments: Gumroad or LemonSqueezy (handles VAT, no company registration needed at start).
    • CRM: Notion “Lead → Proposal → Invoice → Testimonial” board.
    • Automation: Make.com (free tier) to cross-post YouTube → FB → LinkedIn.

  • Keep the frequency high (without burning out). Daily non-negotiables:

    • 10-min morning “scene loop” – close eyes, see the dashboard numbers you want next quarter.
    • 25-min Pomodoro walk after lunch – no phone, let the brain defrag.
    • 3-item gratitude list before bed – keeps the reticular activating system hunting for opportunities.

  • The 15-minute weekly review template

    1. What moved the North-Star metric?
    2. What felt like drag? → delegate, automate, delete.
    3. Which piece of content or code can I repurpose next week?
    4. One bold ask: who can I pitch, interview, or collaborate with? (send the DM right then).

  • Your “public secret” ritual - Every Sunday night post one transparent thread on FB or LinkedIn:

    • numbers (watch hours, students helped, cash saved)
    • lesson learned
    • next week’s experiment.This turns your silent vision into a public scoreboard—the universe (and algorithm) loves open loops.

  • NORTH STAR true meaning

    🚀 The North-Star Metric — the ONE number that proves your dream is breathing

    1️⃣ What it really isThink of every ship that ever crossed an ocean.Before GPS, sailors kept one bright star fixed in their telescope.If that star stayed in the cross-hairs, they knew they weren’t drifting.Your North-Star Metric is that single star for your 90-day sprint.

    2️⃣ How to pick yoursLook at your Freedom Codex page and ask:“Which number, if it climbs, drags every other good thing with it automatically?”

    • More CSS NC2 students paying? → cash, testimonials, YouTube views.
    • More watch-hours on your channel? → ad money, course buyers, authority.
    • More ₱ sitting in Freedom Fund? → options, calm mind, bigger risks.

    Pick one. Make it measurable. Make it time-bound.Example for Sprint-1 (Jul-Sep):“Reach 1 000 cumulative watch-hours on the CSS NC2 playlist by 20 Oct.”

    3️⃣ Why it sets you on fireEvery other task is just noise unless it moves that star.When you sit down to record, tweet, or code, you ask:“Does this +1 my 1 000 hours?”If yes—burn the boats and do it.If no—politely kill it.

    4️⃣ The 15-minute Weekly Review (your compass check)Open your Weekly Review Notion row each Sunday night and answer these four questions fast:

    TableCopy

    Question Fire-fuel angle Example answer
    1. What moved the North-Star metric? Celebrate the win, then double-down next week. “+212 watch hours from the Grid tutorial. Grid series part 2 drops Monday.”
    2. What felt like drag? Anything that stole minutes but didn’t move the star. “Editing captions by hand → drag. Delegate to Rev.com or auto-caption tool.”
    3. Piece to repurpose? Turn one spark into 10 sparks. “Grid tutorial → cut 3 shorts, 1 infographic, 1 thread.”
    4. One bold ask? One DM or e-mail that could 10× the star. “Pitch TechTutorPH to feature my playlist. Send DM now.”

    Close the page.Set a 1-minute timer.Send the bold ask before the timer ends—no draft folder, no tomorrow.

    That DM is the match.Your North-Star Metric is the bonfire.Keep the telescope steady, and the dream can’t drift.
