What It's About
A listener decides what to do next with his app for Apple Watch.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1278
I don’t think we’ve talked much about the Apple Watch. If you have one, you might know that it integrates with a lot of apps on your phone, and then there are also standalone apps designed specifically for the Watch. Today’s caller has made a mobile app to help people maintain their focus—which sounds like I need this app—and he’s wondering what to do next. This is a phase that I see a lot of new side hustlers go through. It’s a nebulous Inception-like space where you’re not in the early stages of building out an idea, and you also haven’t quite figured out where to go with it next. How can you decide between competing priorities? What does moderate success look like—it’s clearly not a failure, but it’s also different from major success or massive success."Hi, Chris. This is Sergio from El Paso, Texas. I've been a fan of the Side hustle book and podcast for a while now. My Side hustle is Nujible. It's a mobile app for the watch that uses haptic taps to help people who struggle to maintain their attention and focus. It's basically a tool for people like myself who often have their heads stuck in the clouds and just need an occasional nudge to get back in the game. I have limited time and funds to be able to work on this project. Unfortunately, I often had to decide between app store optimization, reaching out to productivity influencers or working on upgrading the app itself. I've been working on this app for over a year now with moderate success. So my question is how should I focus my time and resources moving forward?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
