No Progress

Sharing the experience I gathered while working on, building and failing a couple of startups in the past 4 years. Why should you listen to this episode? Because I have nothing to sell, nothing to promote, thus, nothing to hide.

"If I could make the same amount of money doing any job, would I still choose to do what I'm doing right now?"

This is one of the best approaches I've found so far for choosing a career and I'm discussing the nuances behind such a choice.

Feature parity is not my thing. I've seen enough failed products because of this to have my reasons not to chase after feature parity. Chasing your competitors is also dangerous, since chasing involves you not being #1. You're #2, #3 or even worse. I don't want to compete in anyone's predefined hierarchy and I think many entrepreneurs should try to carve their own hierarchy and create their own game.

Our knowledge of entrepreneurship might push us in dangerous directions and it might make us adopt some really twisted work/life/behaviour patterns.

I had to make a tough decision, and I also have a story linked to it. Tune in and hope you enjoy!

The books I mention are in the show notes.

Cards on the table. These are the mistakes I made in the past twelve months and what I've learned from them. Thanks for being with me on this journey and I hope this episode prevents you from repeating my mistakes.

Here's the true, tried and tested formula for pricing yourself as a freelancer.

Does it work every time? No!

Does it work most of the times? Yes!

Take it and adapt it to your own liking and feel free to reach out if you have questions.

And a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating / review would help a lot.

Thank you!

I've been journaling for more than 8 years, to date! Never thought I'd use my journal entries to justify my work to anyone. Turns out that a journal could serve more than your mental health, and this episode tells the story of how journaling took me from not getting paid, to getting paid.

The struggle to find the perfect project management tool is real! In this first episode I talk about the struggles my cofounder Chris and I went through, to settle on a decent project management tool. I'm getting into the false assumptions we made, our reasons from choosing one tool over the other, and how we managed to re-center ourselves and stop losing product requirements between chats and cards.
