Well there we have it, week one over already. That was fast! 😮

The speed with which this week bulldozed by has made me realise just how quickly these 100 day could slip through my fingers if I wasn’t paying attention…

Thankfully things got off to a good start with the 100 To Launch challenge!

Mini Highlights

  • Had an article published in a Medium publication followed by 500,000+ readers
  • Launched the 100 To Launch Podcast
  • Contacted 1500 email contacts I had on file asking if they’d like to be kept in the loop on Geco Hub’s Kickstarter
  • Contacted several dozen retailers who have seen early Geco Hub prototypes and expressed interest
  • Finalised the design for the remaining Geco Hub parts for our prototype video. These will be made using liquid rubber as explained in a recent post.

If you haven’t kept up with every post so far, don’t worry! I’ve pulled together the highlights for you below.

The idea is the hard part. The rest just falls into place. Right?
