OK - so better late than never. My goals this past week, im not gonna lie, sucked. I did manage to stick with one of my creations and MAKE that video. The downside is its a 32 minute video, and editing in not the best of wifi has pushed back the date of release to hopefully by Saturday.
On top of things, we are on the final 2 weekends at the park, so i've really gotton lazy.
I remmeber these challenges being hard, but wow.

THere is 1 more week to go folks, and I'm super proud of everyone that joined me on this journey. This last week, as we're in it, i'll update you now, My focus is on this video being published, getting a couple more article in, and keep working on finishing my memoirs of a park operator book!

That'll be my 90 days!

1 small win for me in this 90 days ---- BIG REVEAL --- I did get some monetization from some of my websites. I have about 67.00 plus or minus in commissions across 3 affiliate platforms, CJ Network, AWIN, and a payout from Share-a-sale after all is said and done.

So, just to point out, did my 90 days payoff? YES! And if it didn't for you, don't give up. Take a 30 day break if you must, and do another 90 day personal challenge to yourself.

Cheers ALL, and good night! Signing out for now...

My latest update: What are we in week 9 or 10? I think its week 10, almost 2 weeks left!

So my latest attempt to get back on track with my YouTube channel decided it was a lost cause. I do plan to make a good video today and post it this week. That said i did manage to get a couple articles done on some websites that were long overdue. I also managed to perform an AI assisted/Voice assisted landing page for my RV site. I posted it this morning. It's progress and that's what matters!

Hoping everyone else is still in the game! Let's see those updates!

90-Day Challenge – Week 7 Update

Now....

I'm still in the fight, even if the punches keep coming. What about everyone else following this challenge? Are we hanging in there? The chatter seems to have lessened...

Alright, here’s the real deal:

I wrapped up Week 7 by finally getting another video out:
👉 Check it out here - https://youtu.be/yq6RAMgGQyw

That was my biggest focus this week — and hitting upload always feels like a win.

The Saturday Off List:

I actually took a full Saturday off a couple days ago (rare around here). Sat down, made myself a to-do list with 9 items… knocked out 3.
Not great, not terrible — progress is progress.

One of those 3 was fun though:
🎰 Built an RV Slots game right on my homepage — from idea to working feature in a single sitting. (Wrote about it on here if you missed it: From Idea to RV Slots--find it on WA or click here From Idea to RV Slots: How I Built This in One Sitting ).

The Not-So-Fun Part:

I also spent way too much time trying to figure out AWIN. Since the ShareASale migration, my dashboard looks like it was designed by a raccoon in the dark. Nothing lines up 100% and it ate more hours than I’d like to admit. Still, I chipped away at it.

Other Stuff That Got Done:

-Pre-published a couple “Affiliate Marketing and…” WA posts

-Started tinkering with brand pages

-Prepped to use this coming Wednesday as a real “catch-up” day

The Reflection Bit:

If Week 6 was downtime… Week 7 was me trying to re-shift gears. Not everything got done, but I’m moving.

That’s the theme here: not perfect, just persistent.

Peak season at the campground still makes every week a battle, but the uploads are happening, the ideas are flowing, and the challenge is still alive.

Week 8? Let’s see what happens when the engine kicks in a little harder.

👉 How’s everyone else holding up mid-challenge? Still swinging? Really want to see your updates! Let's bring it to the last level soon!

90-Day Challenge – Week 6: A Breather

This week? I took some intentional downtime.
Not because I’m out of the game, but because even engines need to idle before the next long stretch.

No new videos.
No big content pushes.
Just a little space to recharge and clear the mental clutter.

Peak season at the campground is still full throttle, but I’m setting my sights on Week 7 as my catch-up week — the goal is to close the gap, push out some content, and get back in rhythm.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step back… so you can come back swinging.

How’s everyone else balancing the hustle with breathing room?
