#037 - Am I limiting myself?

Sep 4, 2024 — 1 min read

As of right now I am the least busy I will ever be. The entire set of possibilities is open to me. Over the past 3ish months I have been exploring almost every opportunity that I have come across. Everything from car washes and vending machines to software startups and consulting businesses. The one thing I have learned so far is that I may have been limiting myself prior to my most recent spell of unemployment. The thing about entrepreneurs is that they are excited by any opportunity no matter what it is. In a way, they don't often see themselves as above anything (at least the successful ones).

The first point of this blog is to document my research around problems and ideas. The second point is to document building and execution of ideas. The third point is to be able to look back in 10 years at all the progress I will have hopefully made. A corollary to that is to be able to share it with the world (e.g. building in public).

#041 - Coffee is for closers

Sales has always been an anomaly to me. The way it is depicted in media, television, and movies makes it seem like it involves the scummiest people and always ends up with a loser. The salesman is usually wearing a fancy suit, perfectly quaffed hair, and a bunch of material

#040 - Out of the comfort zone

It's a new month (I know we're 9 days in), so it's time to set a new audacious, yet achievable goal. Instead of building an application this month, I am going to explore creating a real business that makes money. Maybe trying to make
