Sometimes I feel my startup progress is painfully slow But when I zoom out & take a bigger perspective I see the challenges I’ve overcome And feel proud of the goals accomplished Have a good weekend indie makers! ❤️

I don't know why I feel kinda happy today The sun is shining Had a great day with my kids Got lots of house jobs done too There's definitely more to life than startups and tech! ❤️

Startup founders have way more in common with each other than differences. We're all trying to push our projects forwards, step by step, through setbacks, struggles, wins & breakthroughs. Wishing everyone success in the accomplishment of their goals! 🌞

Deeply frustrated 😤 Been at a standstill for 2 weeks Not because of my day job or family commitments, but because selling our home has been way more time-consuming than expected As a solopreneur, personal life-stuff can derail your momentum at any time. Staying positive ❤️

April 2023 - still loving building my startup ❤️ April 2024 - still loving building my startup ❤️ A good sign for the rest of this decade 😊

New experiment! 🧪 So far Quda content flywheel has failed I've been unable to sustain organising AMAs The new plan is to curate clips, narrowing the focus to how exceptional people got started in their careers I've always resisted narrowing down to a niche, but it's

You can stay hidden thinking you've got a special startup that everyone wants to steal 🤫 Me in 2020 Or you can ship little experiments, share your process, learn as you go along and discover magic secrets of what people actually want Me in 2023. Glad I've evolved. 😊

I didn't get 1000 sign-ups today for my startup I didn't make $10,000 But, I did, after 4 months, SELL MY HOUSE! Epic ❤️

Gotta admit, I've fallen a little in love with the indie maker community. ❤️ As someone with not many tech besties locally, connecting with you all online has been awesome. Big wave to everyone building their startup this weekend! 👋

Make small bets on marketing. See what works, what doesn't. Try different channels to find out where your product's users are hanging out. I just started on TT and it's working great. Happy experimenting. 😊

When you're under extreme constraints you have to bet wisely with your time I get about 1-2 hrs a day on Quda, usually late at night It's easy to use up that tiny window on unimportant things, so I'm trying to push only 1 big thing forwards at a time The art of focus! 😊

Curating clips is going well 😊 TT is a great place to test demand for content Because the algo doesn't rely on follower count, you can get reach easily Proud I've got to a 10 day streak as consistency is not one of my strengths If something is working, keep going! 🚀

I love talking with indie startup founders! 🎉 Had an awesome chat with Tobias on no code, building MVPs and making small bets vs decade-long missions. Listen to the pod 👇

What's the one thing you need every day to keep pushing your startup forwards? Motivation. Where does motivation come from? You're energized when you work on it, you love it! ❤️ Love = motivation = perseverance = results 🎉

Because you can't rely on social media apps staying the same, diversify. Algos change. Reach is limited unless you pay. Be nimble. Shift to new internet ground. As in investment, diversify!

Life is good! Busier than ever with day job and family Here's what I've been up to on Quda 👇 Curated content is going really well Rolling this out on other platforms soon Then regularly within the app 😊

Into final days of mega-house move. Wish me luck. 🤞

Wow, I've never had 2 weeks where I literally can't post because of exhaustion. House family move is officially done 🎉 and now I can get back to building and marketing. What have I missed?

Apart from AI apps like ChatGPT and Perplexity, very few products will be AI only. AI will be a feature, not a product, as ubiquitous as the like button on socials. Market leaders in each niche will add it and keep their moats. Big Tech will continue to dominate as before.

Happy to report I'm still at it. ❤️ Family life took over the last 3 mths in wonderful ways and I'm still building Quda late at nights. My 2024 goal is to serve up fresh, insightful Q&As daily. It's a hard task, but I love a challenge! Awesome new guest on soon. 👀
