Tick, tick, tick — the remaining sands in the hour glass were so few I could almost count them individually.
“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
Hi and welcome to Thursday’s Episode 129 in the first season of “My 1-Year Natural Experiment” on this 5th day of December in winter of 2019
“5” Steve Zahn, 51: “There are many comparisons that aren’t worth making, questions that waste the time it takes to ask them and roads that lead nowhere. Decide what you want and go exclusively for it.” Scorpio

The theme for this end of the week is “Still Stuck on Tuesday”. For each day of the week, I broke down major tasks to be completed as I triumphantly marched to my goal, by 12/7 launch my Patreon platform through promotions.
-
- Maybe this scheme is more complicated than I thought.
- Patreon members who aren’t already part of your fanbase don’t support you, right?
- So if you don’t already have a fanbase how do you build one?
That’s the elephant in the room which no-one really talks about. Patreon pushes you to Facebook, the 500 lb. gorilla in the room. I fell into confusing circular discussion with myself like:
Maybe follow the sequence of Name-Thank You-Questions, but with different messaging specific to LinkedIn, Flipboard, Writers Cooperative, WordPress Meetup (really a series of 5 conversations) similar to my networking approaches in the past (and 100 monkeys). Suggest we connect on Facebook.
Show my Patreon badge in each message, but don’t bring it up directly.
Ask them, not to support me, but to like and refer me to someone else.
My goal should be to make it easy for me to update my progress in one “fan” group.
Then as I publish out of one place (Patreon) I reverse the sequence to make sure the article shows up in each of the feeding groups.
And, on and on.
-
- I spent 18 hours during the week on Patreon’s site chasing down tips and tricks until I was tricked out.
- And, then our Internet crashed and I sat and twiddled my thumbs until a Cox technician arrived.
Okay, see this is the “forest for the trees” or the “what comes first, the chicken or the egg” dilemma and Zahn’s Holiday Tau helps. You (I) don’t know which questions lead to dead ends.

Random ones that make me want change my sign.
Yeah, but I’m not sure what the two Ws Holiday Tau means for me today.
“2” Steve Winwood, 71; Stevie Wonder, 69: “While a thing certainly seems acceptable when more people are doing it, this in and of itself shouldn’t factor into moral or value-driven decisions. Is it right?” Taurus
Ditto, Steve. I’m not buying your Holiday Tau for today. Thanks, though.
