Reset without losing momentum
Week 16 was supposed to be a quiet reset week. Not a stop. Not a “ghost everyone and come back later” week. The goal was to protect energy, clean up what was messy, and keep momentum moving without forcing output.
“I move with clarity. I keep what works, I release what drains me, and I build from a clean baseline.”
What actually happened this week
Between Feb 2nd and the 9th, I spent a chunk of my focus in places that aren’t “0–100” on paper, but still matter to the bigger system.
1) Book sprint (off-site, still valuable)
I focused hard on writing my 3rd Amazon book. Not site-related. Not directly monetized inside this project. But it acted like a mental reset in disguise: long-form work forces clarity, patience, and follow-through.
2) Infrastructure fixes on Everything RVs & More
That site was my first build and it carries the most technical debt. I’d been bouncing between projects, and this week made it obvious: I needed to stop ignoring a silent traffic leak.
The silent traffic leak: 404s
The biggest “why” behind the focus shift was simple: I was bleeding traffic into a broken page. When a wonky amount of visitors hit a 404, you’re not losing rankings. You’re losing trust. And the worst part is you usually don’t notice until the numbers look weird.
Campground Picker finished (overdue, now done)
The overdue January project finally got finished: Find the Perfect Campground for Your Next Adventure. It helps RVers choose a campground in the US or Canada based on amenities in a specific state or province, and then routes them to Campspot booking pages (affiliate-backed, but actually useful).
Core brand pages refreshed
I refreshed core landing pages on Everything RVs & More (these are not “nice to have” blog posts, they’re routing pages). In several cases, that also meant refreshing related articles and tightening internal links.
- Brio Water
- Camping World
- Ghostbed
- Kohree LLC
- Mobile Home Parts Store
- RV Blinds
- RV Mattress
- Techno RV
- Tochta Custom RV Mattress
- Vacbird
- VEVOR
- Vintage Trailer Supply
0–100 still shipped
Even with the split focus, one key piece went live on this site: Why Great Business Ideas Don’t Launch in 2026 . That kept momentum moving without turning Week 16 into a forced-content week.
On the RV side, I also published five border crossing articles (including the Nicaragua → Costa Rica checklist): Peñas Blancas Border Crossing in an RV (2026) .
Engagement signals (and what they told me)
0–100 Facebook post (boosted)
I ran a boosted post starting Feb 1st. It pulled roughly 110 engagements (likes, reactions, etc.). Not life-changing, but it’s a clean signal: the angle still grabs attention.
Earthbound Tours (travel niche pull)
On the Earthbound page, a Chichén Itzá image post hit roughly 1K engagements with 20+ comments. Different niche, different audience behavior, but it’s still data: travel pulls deeper interaction right now.
Ads, budget reality, and a useful WA shift
I paused a lot of ads from December onward. Not because ads “don’t work,” but because funding only stretches so far, and recycling the same creatives forever is how you go broke while pretending you’re “testing.”
Right now I’m only running ads that tie to my actual business direction: Brand Forge and the Blueprint system. I’m not pushing people straight into the platform just to say I did.
The reset wasn’t perfect, but it was real
Full day off: Friday the 6th. The full two-week reset didn’t happen exactly as planned because I kept tinkering, but the intensity still came down. And the bigger win: I’ve been stacking Tai Chi daily, feeling better, and getting refreshed. That matters more than pretending I’m a machine.
WA stats (last 7 days) and what I’m taking from them
- Clicks: 690
- Referrals: 0
- Upgrades: 0
- Revenue: $0
I’ve seen increased traffic to blueprint pages, but Week 16 attention was split for a good reason: I was losing visitors into a 404 hole. Fixing that had to come before pushing more traffic.
Closing thought
No heavy CTA this week. Just the simple one that actually survives real life: keep swimming. If you’ve started, don’t stop. If you haven’t, start smaller than your ego wants and stay consistent.
Transparency and context
Some links may be affiliate links (example: Campspot tools and booking routes). That means I may earn a commission if you take action, at no extra cost to you. I only link what I actually use or what fits the page’s purpose.
