Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech
IDEASure, the funding will be there even if reduced. My point was that if you are going to compete on cost, then now is a good time to do it. I'd say don't overestimate those non-traditional deals. Firstly, they are much fewer than you think, the majority of biotech relies on VC funding, with some...- Galactic_travel

Pivoting to Web Design / WordPress for Biotech
IDEAWe are in similar fields, best of luck! The point about funding is important, your timing would be good because not only federal funding is leaving, but also VC funding, and deals in biotech are in one of the worst slumps ever. Your challenges will be a) there are many established agencies that...- Galactic_travel

A journey to freedom from alarm clocks
EXECUTIONApril update: Hiring cheap programmers from Upwork has been very unproductive. For one of my projects, I got more done by installing Claude CLI and just letting it code from prompts, which is crazy. Already had my 1st experience of a big corporate delaying paying my invoice by over a month...- Galactic_travel

EXECUTIONMarch update: This month has been the busiest since I quit my job. I have reached the point in freelancing where I need to start outsourcing. I have already found someone to do my bookkeeping, now I will look for a cheap VA that can do generic tasks for up to $10 per hour. I sold a new $20k...- Galactic_travel

It’s been a while since I beat up on freelancing… Where are you today?
ASSERTION SIDE HUSTLEI was never among the people to say that freelancing is a valid alternative to having your own business, but after quitting my job and freelancing for the past few months I have greatly enjoyed it. It has more economic uncertainty, and therefore stress, than regular employment. However, I also...- Galactic_travel

EXECUTIONJanuary update: I spent the whole month in Egypt which was great but now back to cold Europe. My client was not interested in the subscription service idea, but that's fine, I can develop that independently. I managed to negotiate a higher day rate with him, which allows me to work only 3...- Galactic_travel

EXECUTIONDecember update: My health is improving which I am grateful for and allows me to work more. Freelancing for this client has given me a series of ideas for how to automate some of their processes with AI. I got very excited about one particular idea and started coding it immediately with the...- Galactic_travel

ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer
HOT! CHAT - AI -The value of ChatGPT is insane. Nearly every week in my day job I think of a new way that ChatGPT could help automate or speed up some process. If only I had the time and energy to act on all of them. I am seriously considering pivoting part of my web dev agency to an AI automation consulting...- Galactic_travel

EXECUTIONNovember update: Bad: Caught COVID again. 5th time!!! Thankfully I had taken some Paxlovid with me before I left the US and it made it very mild, at least so far. My old, obese, extremely unhealthy relatives caught it at the same time and dealt with it just fine which I had trouble dealing...- Galactic_travel

A journey to freedom from alarm clocks
EXECUTIONThings have been going very well, probably as good as I could have hoped for. I managed to get one active freelance contract and have another one in the final stages. Both of these combined will take me to 80% of my previous salary, but this time I will not be a corporate slave and I will be...- Galactic_travel

What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!
NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHATA decent book packed with information and action steps, but the author cherry-picks financial numbers in order to make acquisition entrepreneurship seem like the greatest thing since sliced bread, which unfortunately significantly undermines his credibility and the rest of the insight. I knew...- Galactic_travel
