I’ve earned over $1M on Contra, and now I’m opening up the profile behind that number.

The Contra Handbook is live.

It brings together how I present my work, structure my services and make it easier for a client to understand what they can hire me for.

And making it meant putting my own profile under inspection.

There was a typo in my title. 20 services that needed cutting down. 14 products with no reviews between them. Those changes are part of the course. You watch me work through them on screen, with the reasoning behind each decision.

Across eight modules, you work through your own profile too. Each chapter ends with something concrete to change, and the final module brings it into a 90-day plan.

You get the videos, written Handbook, profile scorecard, role specific guidance and access to The Ledger, the private course group.

If you’ve put real effort into your work and want your Contra profile to represent it properly, this is for you.

Hug earning Legend nice work 🔥🔥 I like your work structure ❤️❤️

I used @Lovable to build a working booking app for my business—and the most useful part happens after someone clicks “Book.”

The goal: easier booking for clients, less scheduling work for me.

The app creates their Zoom meeting, sends their confirmation, schedules reminders, and lets them reschedule or cancel.

The client’s part? Pick a time. Enter a name and email. Done.

I built this for Mathias Media, my website and app studio in Minneapolis, as part of @Contra’s #lovablechallenge.

With Lovable, I built around how I actually work: consultations Tuesday through Thursday, a maximum of three calls a day, and buffers between appointments. The app handles those rules while keeping booking simple.

That’s what makes this Contra challenge worthwhile: a reason to turn a real business need into something useful with Lovable.

Walkthrough and build-process recording attached.

Have a business process you wish worked better? Give Lovable a try.

Baking the Tuesday to Thursday, three calls max rule right into the app is the smartest part of this imo. Most booking tools make you bend around them. Have clients noticed the limits or does it just quietly feel like you're in demand?
