I need TOUGH LOVE. So I made it.

Question

I've been self-employed for more than a decade and I love it.

But the find the hardest thing about working for myself is sticking to targets and deadlines.

If I don't do something (unless it's a tax return) nothing happens.

But if nothing happens, nothing happens. And that just doesn't work if I want to reach my goals.

And this seems to be a common theme among solopreneurs that I've spoken to.

So I've been toying with this idea called TOUGH LOVE for over a year (ironically) and I've finally created the MVP.

The premise is simple:
 
1) you tell me your clearly defined target for the week and set a deadline
2) when deadline strikes, I call you (for max 3 mins - no chit-chat).
3) if you hit your target, great. Set next weeks target and I'll call you then. If not, don't waste your money or my time.

Most people I've told this idea to say it's a bad idea. Maybe they're right.

But if this is a service you might want, you can see more detail about TOUGH LOVE here: https://toughlove.club

Nice - also interested in other tools for me personally so happy to check them out for my own use. As I say, made this to scratch my own itch!

I think there was novelty to this idea a few years ago, may not take off in the same way today given many clones have launched.

I personally wouldn't pay $99/mo for someone to remind me to do things, but that said maybe someone will bite. Who knows!
