Resilience isn't about being tough - it's about being flexible like a tree in the wind. You bend, you don't break.

You are a knowledge worker. Your brain is your primary tool. If you're not sleeping enough, eating well, and moving your body, you are actively sabotaging your ability to think clearly and make good decisions. Prioritize your health as a core business strategy.

Build a business that sustains you, not one that consumes you.

You don't need to be a great writer. you need to be a clear writer. focus on BENEFITS, not features.

« Copywriting: the art of selling with words »

Copywriting is the most leveraged skill a founder can have. it's how you explain your product's VALUE on your landing page, in your emails, and in your ads, etc.

A successful solo founder has a "T-shaped" skillset: a broad understanding of many areas (marketing, sales, design) and deep expertise in at least ONE (like engineering or copywriting).

INFORMATION is raw data.
KNOWLEDGE is information organized and understood.
WISDOM is knowledge applied with experience.

AI output needs a check — Don't just trust it, verify!

Creativity grows through regular practice, not sporadic bursts of inspiration.

Daily creative habits — even just 10-15 minutes — compound over time and keep your creative muscles strong and flexible.

“Living according to nature”

"Living according to nature" means two things. first, accepting the natural order of the universe. second, living in accordance with our own nature as rational and social beings. it means using REASON to guide our actions and working for the common good.

Words have power. when you write, you create worlds that didn't exist before. your unique voice matters more than fear or doubt. start now, one sentence at a time.

This structure gives the AI all the context it needs to understand the discrepancy between intent and reality. The more precise your description, the more accurate the AI's diagnosis will be.

"Describing bugs to get solutions”

Crafting an effective bug report for an AI is a skill. the best bug reports include three things:

1. WHAT you expected to happen,
2. WHAT actually happened,
3. The relevant code and error messages.

You can't improve what you don't measure.

Don't bottle up your feelings! Like a beach ball held underwater, emotions will surface, often stronger. Ignoring them fuels stress, anxiety, & burnout. Let them out in a healthy way.

Set boundaries around unsolicited advice.

Passion: what you love.
Purpose: what the world needs from you.

Passion without purpose fades.
Purpose without passion drains.

The sweet spot?
Where your gifts meet the world's needs.
That's where you thrive.

Want a clearer head? Grab a pen & journal. Dump your thoughts, feelings, and daily drama onto the page. No need for perfect prose, just raw honesty. You'll spot patterns, process emotions, and gain amazing perspective. It's like therapy, but free!

It's wild, but I've switched to using Grok for research instead of Perplexity.

Grok pulls from both web posts and X posts, giving me accurate, unbiased results without hallucinations.

It's incredibly useful for me.

When I made my first dollar online, it felt like a life-changing moment,

Like discovering a hidden door to a new world of opportunities.

That first dollar isn’t just money—it’s proof. Proof that it’s possible.

From $1 to $100. From $100 to $1,000.

Success grows from that single spark.

Bangkok, Thailand!

Cheap living, lightning-fast internet, and a huge digital #nomad scene make it perfect for traders on a budget.

Just be ready for the heat and the bustling city—plus, the market's late-night hours might not suit early birds.

Python changed my life in just three months...

After five years with JavaScript, trying Python and #AI let me create an army of AI agents that boosted my productivity tenfold.

I'm hooked!
