Deadlines… after 18 years with plenty of deadlines, if there is a system in place that makes progress every day then having a strict deadline does nothing but increase stress and decrease quality. But somehow still made myself one. Print in two days.

While watching visitor’s behaviour with Microsoft Clarity, I see clearly how clanky our website is (which is built on Webflow).

If I’d choose topic for revolution, I’d go against of calls. Especially daily/weekly fixed calls. Most of the information can be exchanged via text, video or voice messages. And calls should be left for brainstorming or solving conflictswhen it’s really really needed.

Entrepreneurship is like digging into a huge box full of mess. At first, it’s very overwhelming, and you pull out random stuff. Then you become more selective, more organized—some things start to make sense, but you still know there’s a lot of unknown mess ahead.

It’s been exactly 2 years since I stepped into solo entrepreneurial path. It’s been a lot! It’s been a love and hate journey.

Last two days - 4 sales: 2 print and 2 digital. 58 euro in total. July sales - 4 sales: 2 print and 2 digital. 58 euro in total. I like the last-two-days statistic more 🥹 can it repeat please every two days?

Being an entrepreneur means truly believing you are soon-to-become-a-millionaire, while no sales but still managing to pay bills with the last cents left in your bank account.

While scrolling feed why do I see same statements on repeat? Like “ship fast, learn fast”. I’ve heard this sooooo many times and just saw once again.

Do you pay yourself a salary? “I have not paid myself for xxx” - I’ve heard this for so many times, and never it made sense to me. How? Why? How to pay bills then? Now I finally get it, I have not paid myself for 2 years. And make money other way so I can keep invest.

I calculated the shocking cost per article while we are not paying to writers. We have in average 12-14 articles per edition - and the cost is around 500 euro per article with design, editing, proofreading, print. just direct cost, no other costs. So we either need to sell 12
