Road to $1M ARR day 21/60: 8 hours flight and a cancelled airbnb later

Day 21 of the $1M ARR sprint.

Just landed on the other side of the Atlantic. And nothing went as planned.

Been quietly excited about this trip for a month now. Part of why i launched this challenge actually… knew coming here would fuel me, give me that energy injection you need when you’re pushing for something big.

Then reality hit.

Booked an incredible Airbnb for the full month. The moment my plane touches down, i check my emails and then… cancellation message waiting for me. Last minute. No explanation.

Just gone.

So there i am, jetlagged on 4 hours of sleep, checking every possible alternative.

Every Airbnb? Booked. Hotels for just tonight? Somehow also booked. 10 Uber rides later i found something for 1 night.

The universe is definitely trying to teach me something here. i’m listening.

Maybe it’s that you can’t control everything.

Maybe it’s that momentum matters more than perfect conditions.

Or maybe it’s just that sometimes life throws you shit to see if you can still play with it.

i worked during the entire flight but this story felt more real to share today.

so that’s what you’ll get.

Tomorrow i’ll tell you where i landed (literally and figuratively). Whether i found that month long spot. What this city means for the sprint (and for me personally).

Life happens. The sprint continues.

ARR: $622K → Target: $1M | Days remaining: 39

See you tomorrow 👊

O.
ps: it’s not yet midnight where i am so yes i got this done :))
