You can't have something scalable without making it valuable first.

Building the business feels like being in a fog. You don't know where you're going. You only see the next step. Most of the time you step in shit. Sometimes you find gold.

Software is EXTREMELY scalable. But rarely valuable. Much easier to: 1. Build something valuable first. 2. Make it more scalable.

Business is like a video game. Except: > Rules change often + you don't know all of them. > Unknown players. > No winners or losers.

Building software for it's own sake is dumb. Instead first: 1. Find a common problem. 2. Realise can solved with software. 3. Then build. Problem should come first.

If you have a software idea. And don't know if it'll work do this: 1. Build as lean as possible. Only the CORE functionality. No fancy UI. 2. Send it to users. Market it as "free". Here you might hear a lot of: "This is cool" - this is a trap. True validation is either

Valuable > Scalable Obvious to me now. Few years back I didn't do things as they were: "Not scalable". Way easier to make something: > Valuable then scalable If you got something valuable. Try making it more scalable.

It's 7PM. You're here on a call with a client. You could be spending it with your family. This isn't a business you dreamed of. It's an expensive job.

It's 9PM you got a message from Sydney. "XYZ doesn't work. I need you" - FUCK SAKE. You jump on a call. Fix it in 5 minutes. "Will it be like this forever?" It can be. Unless you do something. Build something that works while you sleep.

Saturday. Only one at the office. Let’s get it.

You clocked off work. Closed your laptop. And you still think about it. Knowing you have to work. Or your business falls off.

Trading time for money is cool until your MAXED out. Then you trade value -> money. How? Sell information or software.

Your software needs to solve one problem. Not 10. Not 5. Just one.

Lovable is better for technical people. I got a bunch of my clients use lovable in the past. They just couldn’t make it work. At first amazed to see 80% their app done in like 5 minutes. The problem is the last 20% takes 80% of the time. For someone technical. For non

I’ve been creating different types of content. Trying to target my „ideal customer” But it felt like it wasn’t me. Now I say fuck it and write what I want. If no one reads who gives a shit.

What do you do if you can’t focus? I’ve been sitting for an hour looking at my screen. Can’t focus for shit. Walk? Caffeine?
