I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSThanks for the suggestion and the encouragement. I think one of the hallmarks of good design is using colors sparingly. It can feel boring, but it’s hard to get a polished, professional website with more colors. Today I added a glassy effect to the navbar, just like Apple’s new design, and...- alex_lr

I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSI posted about it in r/Accounting and to my surprise, accountants were quite interested. You can ask yours, I’m sure they hate Quickbooks as much as the average business owner.- alex_lr

I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSThanks for your comment! The product isn’t live and I’m playing the scarcity and exclusivity game. That comes with some tradeoffs. I don’t mean to onboard the average business now, but only the innovative, curious customers who love the product and want to secure a good deal early on. I get...- alex_lr

I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSGood catch! Yeah, the goal is validating the product before I invest the resources to build it. I could do a waitlist, but I don't believe in waitlists. The best validation is people paying for something that isn't even ready. Pretty hard to condense a new accounting standard into the main...- alex_lr

SAAS / APPSThanks for the feedback! I know that bit is controversial and I’m open to change it if I get a lot of pushback. For now the manifesto has helped me get some sales.- alex_lr

I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSThanks for the feedback! I agree that trust can be a challenge. Perhaps I shouldn’t make so explicit that I’m a solo founder at the beginning. The self-hosted version helps with inspiring trust too, as users can experience Nummo without having their financial data leave their devices. Most...- alex_lr

22yo turning 23 350k NW
MINDSETYou have to be delusional and take for granted you’re going to make it. You become the process. When you get there in the end, chances are you won’t be able to stop and switch off. Don’t take it as a goal you set, achieve, and then forget. You have to be obsessed and make lots of sacrifices...- alex_lr

22yo turning 23 350k NW
MINDSETI’m nowhere near close to achieve it, but my goal is $10M before I turn 35, and I’m 30 at the moment. You have plenty of time to make more than $5M at 30. Building wealth isn’t a linear process. You can grind for 3 years, stay broke and become a millionaire in the next 2. My personal advice...- alex_lr

No bullshit books that help you get rich
BOOKSMost business books that I've read are too long and repetitive. These are the ones I do recommend: - 'How to get rich', by Felix Dennis - 'Thinking: Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahneman - 'Antifragile' by Nassim N. Taleb - 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear - '$100M offers' by Alex Hormozi- alex_lr

I hate accounting software, so I'm building my own solution
SAAS / APPSHey there, As a freelance Data Engineer and Amazon FBA Seller, I realised something: accounting software sucks. All the options available are bloated and difficult to use. There's also a lot of manual work that accountants and business owners have to deal with. So I decided to build my own...- alex_lr

It's targeted at small businesses and freelancers, but my early customers want to use it for personal finance. Here's the...- alex_lr

Passive Monthly / Quarterly Income: My Favorite Money System Assets...
GOLD! INVESTINGPassive income is addictive. My Amazon FBA store has recently become cash flow positive and it's netting ~ $500/mo for doing nothing. It takes some work at the beginning, but after you find your system, it's just a cash printer.- alex_lr

Just launched my first product on Amazon FBA
EXECUTIONYesterday I checked my numbers and I was pleasantly surprised. I was a bit disengaged, but when I compared it to real estate, I realized I have a strong asset that outperforms any rental apartment by a mile — and with a fraction of the time required. While I don't make enough to cover my...- alex_lr
