Over the last two years, Iāve come back to this line from the book Courage is Calling again and again:
āThere are six things I can do right now, all of which will help make things better.ā
When those moments hit where everything feels like itās falling apart, and the walls are closing in, I go back to this line. I write down 6 things - however big or small. And I do them. And then I do it again the next day, and the next. A week goes by and youāve done 42 things. And usually by that point, things start to turn back in your favor. Itās been such a simple way for me to stop worrying about the future - and focus on what I can do right now, today.

New baddies at WM HQ.
Slowly but surely, Iām buying machines to build a western shirt factory in Arizona. I scored these this week at a local auction, at a 90% discount. The left one sews on buttons. The right makes button holes.
Now just need to make sure they work šš¤šŗšø

Please welcome nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct8daexztnwdaehgu339e3k7mgpzfmhxue69uhkuu3wwfhhxctwduhxxcgqyzs38uechs9827jkx85t28sapyx4ze7hjt06nqn2u3dfxdehscr8stxcye0 to NOSTR. #introductions
They are Bitcoiners through and through. In full transparency I'm an investor and made my investment contingent on them being Bitcoin forward and accepting Bitcoin. They happily obliged.
Do I think they'll outperform Bitcon's CAGR? Not especially but it's not impossible when you can create a new category. I just wanted to eat matrix fee pizza outside of the matrix so I was down to support.
Yough makes Pizza out of greek yogurt dough with no BS ingredients. 19g of protein and tastes better than all the other shite out there. They're definitely #WorthTheSats. Their last formulation was already our favorite pizza at the house but they just reformulated an even better taste with less ingredients.
The new samples just started going out and they're legit.
Please give them a follow, sign up for an email list, and give them all the tough feedback you can get when they go live in retail. Follow them for the best #NOSTRFirst updates.
Huge frozen pizza guy. Canāt wait to try this
Thank you! I appreciate it. And yes such a bummer about Cone
A couple weeks ago before I met nostr:nprofile1qqs2gndun24r2utk5l20tscsdprw5zttvm0qk58w8xhl2ja2kmzt7jcpvemhxue69uhkv6tvw3jhytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuef0dec82c33x5ehsmt90q6ry7p5vd5xge3hx5mksupnwym857rpvaukk6m9dvmhqer8wa6hwepsxu6rjd35v34hj6rp89ensvnj096ns0mzwfhkzerrv9ehg0t5wf6k2qg3waehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hs7sy58u I had no interest in Bitcoin. After talking to him over some wine, Iām now understanding why our costs will continue to rise and Bitcoin needs to be apart of our American Made Mission. Eventually weāll be accepting it and have it on our balance sheet.
NOSTR will be the first to know when it happens.
I now view Bitcoin as having the same ideals that motivated an American Made brand like West Major. Hereās a little bit of insight behind our brand, and whatās gone into trying to make our product in America.
Okay awesome. Thanks for this feedback. Still trying to wrap my head around it haha
Okay Iāve got another question (thank you to everyone helping me learn here). Maybe this is a stupid question.
Is the goal or one of the goals amongst the bitcoin community to eventually get to a world where everyone uses it - day to day - for every transaction? Your employer pays you with bitcoin, you buy your groceries with bitcoin, you rent Netflix movies with bitcoin?
When that happens, what does the price of bitcoin look like day to day? Is it more stable? Or will it still be down 5% one day, up 20% the next?
Appreciate the feedback!
Good point! when I say cash what I really mean is CC (we just sell online). When your customers pay with CC, is that in USD? Or bitcoin? And if bitcoin, do you have to convert to USD to pay suppliers?
Question for any business owners out there making a physical product - do you guys have to pay suppliers with cash? None of ours take bitcoin. And if so, how do you balance wanting to grow your business (which requires making more product and thus needing cash) with holding bitcoin? This is something Iām still wrestling with. Iād love to keep and hold what little bitcoin I have⦠but I have to make more shirts to keep growing the business. Down the road, when my business is bigger, and weāre able to distribute profit and/or have cash we donāt need for growth (hopefully š) I could see that being much easier. But at my stage now, weāre still trying to grow. Not for some vanity reason but to survive. Curious if anyone out there has some thoughts or strategies around this?
Update: have made zero progress towards accepting Bitcoin on our website. Not intentional. Just havenāt had the time to figure it out and get it set up yet. On the flip side, we donāt really have anything to sell at the moment, so thereās that. But for anyone out there following, wanting to buy a western shirt with bitcoin, just letting you know we havenāt forgotten š
