NodleStudios - Becoming a Solo Founder

It's been a month since I've recorded, so I guess it's time to do it again! I've basically been gone for three weeks, so not a lot of big moves have been made over the past month The Stair Step Approach to Bootstrapping Rob Walling, from the podcast startups for the rest of us has talked a lot about the stairstep approach to bootstrapping The idea is that you start with smaller products, likely several of them... launch them or buy and grow them and move to bigger things and bigger projects with time Several things that I said I'd do from the last episode Launch something in AugustLikely a WP plugin, but possibly something else Two articles posted for WPSM One article posted Several ideas, need to start publishing articles somewhat regularly. Probably should make a schedule so I can stick to it.

What Happened A couple of rough weeks mentally It's really easy to get inside one's head A couple of projects fell through Some questions about the future as it relates to current ongoing work Difficult to separate the job from me Almost two weeks where I just didn't have a desire to do much  At the beginning of last week feeling better and then I got covid This week I'm mostly back into things What I'm Doing Been trying to stay off of Twitter. Been trying to get away from my computer more. Trying to get healthy again physically Exercise Diet What's Next? July  Helping run a Bible School in Canada Working on some SEO stuff on a plugin I co-own/run Thinking about future projects and pushing toward launching one of them AugustLaunch new something, anything Might be bigger gaps in episodes, but I do want to keep recording for the deadline/motivation/story benefits

I'm coming up on my two-year anniversary of going out on my own and running NodleStudios LLC full time. For some reason this time around has made me think some about the last couple of years, and some positives and negatives of working for myself. It also has me thinking about the future, and where I (and NodleStudios) are going. Join me for some reminiscing as well as some thoughts about the future as well.

An update on all the things that I've been up to with NodleStudios over the past 5 months. Actually, the episode is more about how life sometimes doesn't get out of the way and make it easy to focus on the projects we want to.

It's been a little while since I've recorded... a few things have changed since then. The journey towards solo foundering continues!

The world is a strange place right now and its honestly been a bit difficult to do more than the "normal things" of life the past week or so. This episode covers a few things that happened over the last week or so from the Maker, Marketer, Business side of things at NodleStudios.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one who has a fair bit on my mind right, as the US braces for the Coronavirus its difficult to focus on other things that suddenly feel a lot less important. I did want to record this episode today though because even though we’re in a bit of a strange time (yes that’s an understatement), life does continue to move forward. Even if it does feel like a parallel universe at times.

A quick update on the projects that I continue to work on, OhPeso (which is now open to the public) and GoSelva. After the update on projects I then talk about the "stack" I'm using to build these apps, Laravel, Livewire, AplineJS, and TailwindCSS.

Making some progress on GoSelva and OhPeso, but also feeling a tad overwhelmed with all of the things that have to happen in "normal life." Hoping to get OhPeso live in the next couple of weeks and continue to make progress on GoSelva.

I talk a few minutes about what I've been working on so far in January of 2020. Launching landing pages for two projects and working on both of them adding features and functionality.

Hello there! This is a very short "intro episode" to allow me to get things set up in iTunes and various other places across the web. I'm Eldon Yoder and I run a small company NodleStudios LLC. This podcast is supposed to be a journal of sorts as I head down the road of becoming a "Solo Founder" over the next number of years.
