Day 18 – Speeding Up the Grind
Mason woke up early, his mind already racing with thoughts of the day ahead. He grabbed his phone and checked the notifications from his automation systems.
Dropshipping Automation:
Mason opened his Shopify dashboard and reviewed the past 24 hours.
Orders Processed: 5 new orders, all automatically fulfilled.
Customer Inquiries: 3 messages handled by the chatbot.
Inventory Updates: Stock levels synced without issues.
"It's working," he muttered, feeling a surge of pride. "But I can make it better."
Trading Automation:
Next, he checked his TradingView account. His bot had executed 2 trades overnight:
Trade 1: A small profit of $15.
Trade 2: A loss of $10.
"Not bad for a first run," Mason thought. "But I need to refine the strategy."
Mason spent the next hour brainstorming ways to improve his automation systems.
Dropshipping Improvements:
Add More Products: Expand his store's inventory to attract more customers.
Optimize Chatbot Responses: Add more detailed answers to common questions.
Marketing Automation: Set up email campaigns and social media ads.
Trading Improvements:
Refine the Strategy: Add more indicators to reduce false signals.
Risk Management: Set stricter stop-loss and take-profit levels.
Backtesting: Test the strategy on more historical data.
He jotted down the ideas in his notebook, feeling a mix of excitement and pressure.
Mason grabbed a quick breakfast—a protein bar and a cup of coffee. He ate standing up, his mind still focused on the day's tasks.
"No time to waste," he thought, glancing at the clock. "I need to move faster."
Mason left the house earlier than usual, determined to make the most of the day. He drove to the gym, his mind racing with plans.
"I've been moving too slow," he realized. "I need to speed up my progress."
At the gym, Mason pushed himself harder than ever. He increased the weights, added extra reps, and ran an extra mile.
"No rest," he told himself, wiping the sweat from his brow. "The mission comes first."
As he worked out, Mason reflected on his journey so far.
"I've made progress, but it's not enough. I need to do more. I need to be better."
He decided to adjust his daily routine:
Morning: Gym (2 hours), Python (3 hours).
Afternoon: Writing (1.5 hours), Content Creation (1.5 hours).
Evening: AI Project (2 hours), Automation Improvements (1 hour).
"No more breaks," he thought. "Every minute counts."
Back at home, Mason dove into his new routine. He spent the morning studying Python, focusing on advanced topics like machine learning and data analysis.
"This is the future," he muttered, typing away. "I need to master this."
In the afternoon, he worked on his novel, adding a new chapter to 100 Different Lives: POV. He filmed a TikTok video about his automation journey, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement.
"Day 18 of the grind," he said in the video. "I'm speeding up my progress. No rest, no excuses. Keep going."
By the time dinner rolled around, Mason was exhausted but satisfied. He sat at the table with his family, picking at his food.
"You've been quiet," his mom said, glancing at him. "Everything okay?"
"Just thinking," Mason replied. "Trying to figure out how to do more."
His dad nodded. "Just don't burn yourself out, son."
Mason forced a smile. "I won't."
As Mason lay in bed that night, he reflected on the day.
"I checked my automation systems. I pushed myself harder than ever. And I realized… I need to move faster."
It wasn't a perfect day, but it was progress.
"The New Me is still here," he thought. "And I'm not giving up."
