Common Obstacles and Course Corrections
Week 2–3: "This is too much work" Scale back to minimum viable actions. Focus only on micro-connections and one coffee meeting. Build momentum before complexity.
Week 4–5: "No one is responding" Normal part of process. Review outreach quality, timing, and targeting. Adjust approach based on patterns. Remember: 10-3-1.
Week 7–8: "I'm socially exhausted" You're expanding too fast. Take a recovery week focusing only on maintenance. Friendship is a marathon, not sprint.
Week 10–11: "Old patterns returning" Expected regression. Return to basics: audit current state, identify slippage points, recommit to one key practice.
Any time: "This isn't working" Define "working." Friendship transformation is slow. Look for small wins: one deeper conversation, one new connection, one maintained relationship.
