Hi Angels

Hi Angels, it’s Lil Joe here, and I am doing better than ever, honestly.

I just pray that my God keeps strengthening me and that I keep increasing. You know, that’s what Joseph does. It’s all about increase, and I’m so grateful. He’s really made all my ways straight, set a clear path for me, and I just need not worry.

I’m integrating who I am with who Jesus says that I am, who He is, and we’re just one. We’re becoming one. We are one. We’ve always been one.

Right now, I’m totally focused on my business, focused on hyche, my brand, and my business. My life is perfect. It’s what I want, you know what I mean? I’m so grateful for the progress that has been made. My team is set in place. Everybody is working hard on behalf of hyche, the business that God gave me. We’re all moving in one accord.

I’m also so happy that ChatGPT did the 28 days of shipping. They’ve been resetting every day, so I’ve definitely been using my Astra credits. Because of the student discount, I don’t even have to pay for ChatGPT, probably for the rest of the year. Definitely taking advantage of that.

My game is out! The first update comes today, and now we’re really focused on being featured as an Indie game. Like, what’s going on? We’re supposed to be nominated and everything. It is what it is, but I already have things in place. We’re researching the Indie showcase and ways we can implement updates and improvements.

Getting my game, A-List, together is a huge focus right now. I also completely updated my blog, got some new domains and websites, and registered my name. When you’re in business, there’s so much to do every day. I could never be bored.

I’m enjoying my last six days here in California. It’s crazy. I honestly can’t believe it’s been three months.

I wanted to leave October 19th, especially when my friend and I got into a fight. I was like, “Oh my gosh, I need to leave right now. I want to go home right now.” I could have, but I didn’t want to. I had to forgive my friend. I had to move on.

I can’t just be running away, blocking people, and not giving people a chance. I’m happy that I got to learn that and open myself up. I’ve really just been opening up, forgiving, being with oneself. There are always lessons to be learned.

I’m learning my lessons, and I’m super excited to come home. Yes, I am!

I’m going to get my hair cut as soon as I come home. I need to set that appointment today. I also have my interview on Halloween next week, Saturday. Oh my gosh, I’m so shook. It’s going to be such a busy week.

Two more days left this week, and I’m excited to rest up and take a break on Sunday, for sure. I’ve been working so hard. Every day has been pretty nonstop. The past two days, I’ve really been hyper-focused on the business.

We added Kit to the team, or should I say Meta Muse? Love Meta Muse. Everyone else is in rapport, doing their work. Everyone knows what to do. We got the brand visions together, got all different types of plans. Astra was working, so I’m super happy about that.

I’m going to be debuting my live show on Kick starting November 2nd, so I’m gearing up for that.

I guess I’m live right now with whatever my roommate has going on. I told him, “If you want my help, I need to be the CMO. I need to be the Chief Marketing Officer, and we need some eyes. We need viewers.”

He’s talking about merch. You’re going to have merch on the store and nobody to buy it? It don’t make sense.

He couldn’t get the business side of things done, and I don’t have time for that. I have my own business that I need to run, market, and brand. I’m really not even worried about that stream.

But I’ve been live for about two months. The people who saw me, they saw me. That’s cool. I appreciate y’all. Love y’all.

It was so nice to hear that I had a viewer, Miss Tricia. That was iconic. It just takes one viewer, you know what I mean? It doesn’t take a lot. I’m grateful for that.

I’m definitely ready to go home and do my live training show, Idol Training Camp. Got the website for that. Getting the website going now and getting the assets together.

When I get home, that’s probably what I’ll be working on after my haircut and my interview. Making sure everything is up and running November 1st. The systems in place, everything in structure. Get OBS going, whatever layouts we need.

I’m really not too familiar with livestreaming and Kick, but I’ll figure it out. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

I have some other longer-term projects, but right now, the focus is shifting from my game. I’m probably going to get that out to version 1.1. There are a few more things we need, but I’m trying to get the game complete.

We’ve got to get some gameplay footage. I’ve got to do the Let’s Play. That’s a whole other thing. Maybe that’ll be for when I come home, so I can record, do the voiceover, do all that. That’s coming.

Right now, we’re focused on A-List, Idol Training Camp, and my blog. Trying to keep the blog updated. I appreciate y’all.

People don’t understand that no viewers is the best place you could be. Nobody watching, nobody paying attention to what you’re doing. You can just build in peace without the outside world and all this extra noise.

I can just focus on the signal: creating the products and the assets.

It would be nice to get a few sales on my game, but I’m not in a rush for that, you know what I mean?

I’ve got to get my money up. I’m super excited to be back serving at my morning restaurant, First Watch, when I come home. Hopefully, I can make around $200 a day. I’ll be satisfied. They’re not hiring all year round. They’re trying to get those holiday sales, and I’m trying to get that holiday money!

Money will definitely be coming in, thank God.

I haven’t worked in four months, about to be five months. I had to take a break. Those people were using me. You have to know these jobs need you. You don’t need a job, for real.

But don’t get it wrong. Just because I’m unemployed doesn’t mean I’m not working. I’m self-employed. I have so much going on. I’m not worried about what everybody else is doing.

I let the CEO know what was going on in his business. If that was what I was meant to do, that’s what I was meant to do. He has a great concept, but it’s not executed properly because the right management isn’t in place.

I observed everything. I looked. I watched. There was favoritism. They threw me to the side, and they were mad that I had that “I don’t need this” energy.

Because I don’t, and I didn’t.

I’ve been just fine. I have not gone hungry one day. I’m grateful. I even made money out here.

I had a $250 gig on the day I was asking for $150 to leave and go home with zero dollars. Instead, I used that money to get my Apple Developer account, and now I have an app on the App Store.

That’s just how that goes, and I’m grateful.

There’s going to be so much to come, and you’ve just got to be grateful now. I’m grateful for right now. I don’t need too much other stuff.

I should have brought my little card so I could get my free drink. When I was down and out after getting into the fight with my friend, that woman at the store saw me. She was like, “Here, take this. This is a card to get a free drink.”

Thank you, girl!

Then I literally found $5, exactly what I needed for the bus. I didn’t have to rush out to the ATM and do all these back-and-forth trips. I really might give that drink card to my friend.

Anyways, that’s enough about me. I’m doing good. I’m blessed. Life has never been better. I’m grateful now.

I’m still dealing with my addiction journey, so we’re definitely about to get out of the smoking. I’m a non-smoker, for real. I can’t wait to update you guys on that.

I’ve learned a lot. I’m right with y’all, getting addicted to the pleasures of this world, but really, nothing is better than Jesus Christ.

Let it go.

We get so focused on right now and today that we forget there are supposed to be so many days ahead. And you have to realize this could be the last day. Whatever you’re doing, if you love the Lord, it really doesn’t matter. It really does not matter.

About to go, and we’ll see what happens next.
