„Work all day. Build all night.“
Servus and welcome to Day 3 of my startup journey is here – and today was one of those real-life balance days.
🕘 9 to 5 – Main Job Grind
I spent the whole day working at my current full-time job (still the main source of income while I bootstrap my company). Honestly, it was one of those days where energy is low but the dream is alive.
🌙 Night Mode: CRM Development Begins
After work, I finally started laying the foundation for a custom CRM system – a tool that I eventually want to integrate deeply into my own startup workflow and maybe offer as a standalone product.
Nothing fancy yet – just some basic layout sketches, data flow diagrams, and initial thoughts on user roles & client tracking.
🤔 Your Input Wanted: What Should a CRM Include?
I want to build something useful, not just another bloated dashboard.
So here’s my question to you:
🧠 If you could design your dream CRM, what would it absolutely need to have?
- What features do you wish your current CRM had?
- What annoys you the most about existing tools?
- Is it client tracking, email logging, lead scoring, project linking… or something else entirely?
💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments – I’ll read every single one and may even build it in!
See you tomorrow for Day 4 – let’s see how far I can get with this CRM prototype.
Stay consistent,
Jonathan
