Garth Haslem
Base hits is a journal about the windy and bumpy road experienced by an entrepreneur. Garth Haslem has started a clothing business, a tanning salon, a home inspection business, a structural inspection business, a diving inspection business, and you'd think it would get easier. If that's true, it's only because he's more confident now. .Garth has three podcasts. The first is The HomeMedic, where he stores 30 years' knowledge as a home inspector. The second is Manalizing. This is a very vulnerable podcast about men and our ability (or inabilty) to navigate life. The third is this one: the diary about what he does every day to get to where his dreams happen. This is about the simple things (the base hits) he's making every day to shape his future. Garth's goals are to build enough of an income to never have to worry about money again. Then he can focus on doing what's most important. Base Hits is a journal of how that pathway looks for him.
Base Hits 90 The Alpha group begins
The end of an huge task is now complete and new tasks are ahead - first base is covered, we see second base, and as of today, third base is directly ahead. We're trying to cover them both at the same time. And with that, home base is in our mind. The 90th report of a 90 day challenge is perfectly timed, and I'm proud to say we're on track. We know where we have been, and we know where we're going, and we have people with us to carry the ball when I fumble or lose my way. All of this? It's awesome. .

Base Hits 89 First base covered
It feels like it's been a long road, but I guess it's only been 90 days - and a few off for good behavior. Base Hits phase 1 is almost complete, and the new phase is now upon me. It's filled with doubts, demons and a bit of despair. Thankfully, it's also got some people who are with me. And with them, I can do this. I can't say how grateful I am. Here's the plan for me taking manalizing to second base.

Base Hits 88 We're on SM!
It's been a long time coming, but now I've built a library of about 20 interviews, and have had some (about 5) of them edited, and have pulled the highlights, and have discovered the right format (MP4) to put them in, and have learned how to add a back bumper (you can't do it within SM, but I found a way), and have navigated my way through descriptions, hash tags and @ directs. And have added "to listen to the podcast please follow the link in my bio", and have asked my tech guru to add that. Other than that's it's been so easy! But the day is here, and the first posts are done. Yah freaking hoo!

Base Hits 87 trademarks and communities
Big deal stuff. I had a big day earning money yesterday, but that's never an excuse for not moving forward with manalizing. I'm so pushed to move that forward - I can't even say. But things still moved forward. I had a conversation about trademarking Manalizing, and I'm having the Manalizing logo designed presently, and we now have the first and second manalizing groups created on Kajabi. Oh - and we have a pretty good idea of who's in that first one. Why is the second important? Because now I know how to create them and modify them. Even though it's much like making a copy, I'm still able to do it - and that's a step forward.

Base Hits 86 Pushed and shoved
I've cleared my schedule so I can get back on top of manalizing editing and highlights and social media and boosting and building an audience so I can save the world, but it's not happening fast enough. I have 1000 interviews that need me to do edits and highlights on. To say I'm being pushed to get that done is an understatement.

Base Hits 85 Non profit or not for profit?
My mind was pretty much blown when I realized while filling out a tiktok form that manalizing needed to be a legal entity, and it probably needs to be either a non profit or not for profit. Blam! Didn't see that one coming. Now I've got work to do that has nothing to do with microphones or sound stuff

Base Hits 84 Better a poster than impostor
Learning how to post on instagram ain't easy. I've fought with it and I'm learning that it needs to be me. My voice thoughout. While it would be nicer if I could assign that out, that wouldn't be my voice, and that can't happen.

When you're trying to do as many at-bats as possible, sometimes you find that there are bigger results, and sometimes they're smaller. This report contains a very small hit - but a hit nonetheless. The other hit is a good sized one. Here's the story
