It’s generally much easier to be a creator today than ever.
But there’s one big reason I don’t envy the people getting started in their online-solopreneur-creating-things journey today:
Expectations.
I’ve been doing this for about a decade, and when I started, it was significantly harder to build an audience.

The opposite of process is chaos, but an in-between is rapid adaptation, emphasis on rapid . Limit scope as much as possible, ship small things fast, and react to feedback quickly.
The design process assumes that dev time is the utmost priority, and this moves a bulk of labor into the design process. This is a faulty premise. The most valuable thing... See more

In addition, perhaps there is a general limit to how far a single feed of random content arranged algorithmically can go before we suffer pure consumption exhaustion. Perhaps seeing curated snapshots from everyone will finally push us all to the breaking point of jealousy and FOMO and, across a large enough number of users, an asymptote will... See more

Some of the best startup ideas live in a grey area of legality. Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, YouTube, Coinbase were all somewhere between questionable and flat-out illegal in their early days.
One reason for this is that incumbents cannot take any legal risk on a new initiative. Even if Google execs saw Uber and thought "that... See more

Here's exactly how I approach building AI side projects in 6 steps: 1. Think of an idea that excites me but that is very simple. I should be able to describe it in 5 words to anyone. 2. Take a weekend and block it off entirely to focus on building the app. I'll generally take 15-30 hours to build an initial version. 3. Try to incorporate the latest... See more

My note to self from reading the book: “THINGS LOOK GOOD AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY, NOT DURING.” Tesla and SpaceX were not built. They were willed into existence, against all odds.
SpaceX failed to launch many times, and was ridiculed by many people. After their third (or fourth) failed launch, Elon sends an email to his team: “ SpaceX is in this... See more
