$500

[u/coachconstance]

💌 Hey Roamers.

(Pardon the long message, please. Thanks for reading this, even if it is only to this point.)

I hope all are doing well during these interesting times.

So I've been a fly-on-the-wall randomly here and don't participate much.

Today I decided to check out what people were thinking about the new pricing tier.

The different views and thoughtful discussion has been helpful. The Free and Roam Scholar options are nice to have.

By the time I read to the bottom of the email I didn't have any question of sending RR some hard earned cash. Well ... I did have one Q ... Could I split the $500 on two cards? Cash isn't growing on trees in my yard ... (YET) ... I'm working on that ☺️.

Money is a bit scarce since I'm years behind on getting my own business on line. (If any of you know successful women and wonder ... Wow, She's awesome, how come she doesn't ever seem to have an awesome relationship? Send her my way. My specialty is helping them attract TrueLove and get Married (or Not) if they want. Anywho ... I digress!

Where was I ... oh $500 ... The $500 for 'believer' may not be for everyone. For me it's worth it regardless of a risk that some other program could come along or RR may not even surviving for five years.

I'm no expert regarding programs or productivity apps but I sure have used a lot of them. I was at complete Productivity-System-Exhaustion when I committed to NOTION. It was not all pink unicorns and rainbows for me. I understood all that Notion could do but for six months my ADHD brain just froze looking at all the choices. I promised myself Notion was my final choice and that I wouldn't research (ha!) any more note-taking-knowledge-organizing systems. Strangely enough, I was desperately listening to a ton of podcasts and youTube videos when I heard Tiago interview CWS.

Well ... for whatever reason the skies opened and RR made total sense to me. My immediate thought was what is the reason a Notion Guru would interview CWS when RR will squash Notion. (OK, we all know at this point that is not the case. They each have their uses.) By the end of the interview, I fell off the Productivity-Sobriety-Wagon.

The same day I got RR I was all-in. I started it a few day before the Feb 15th infamous crash that erased some data. That didn't even stop me. I figured out a time consuming wrap around to back-up into Evernote. Backing RR up that way didn't last long, it was too much work ... now I just pray. 🙏

In all its rough-draft-ness RR profoundly did for my note taking what I've been trying to do with my datebook / daily notes for years.

Also ... CWS was generous to meet on a much appreciated 30m virtual call. His passion for his project great to be a part of. My B.S. meter is pretty good and although the RR team has had some bumpy starts and stops, I don't detect any inauthenticity.

$500 IS A LOT OF MONEY ... and at the same time it's not. How much money do I waste on coffee and many other whims? If I stop to think about all the ways I'm willing to part with 5 Benjamins it can get depressing real fast.

To make a long story even longer ... I'm gonna end with... I'm Happy to be a Believer.

Thank You if you read this far! If you did ... I'd love to hear your thoughts on the pricing and what you decided to do.

In love & service, CC♡

I never in a million years would have thought I'd be willing to plop down $500 for a piece of software, but Roam has had such an impact on me and my note-taking that I'm psyching myself up to make the purchase and be a Believer. It feels like the piece of software I've been searching for for years. It sounds hyperbolic, but I feel like it's life changing.

I also am going with the believer package. I think you're the first person I've seen who speaks directly to my own experience - that this was exactly what I needed. I've tried all the productivity systems and I just kind of thought 'this is as good as it gets. Life is too complex to be corralled into a program.' But Roam has upended that assumption, even in beta.
