    I have 10 years of experience as a dev and lately I have been attacked by unhealthy, negative thoughts related to work and I cannot enjoy life.

    Maybe so, but what about plan B? What if the business doesn't generate income, I lose my job, and my savings run out? Will anyone even consider my transferable skills while I'm running a business?

    You ask what I'd like most? To finally succeed with my product and earn like him. But I'm aware that it's not that easy. I've recently come to the conclusion that I have two paths: A. Spend a few months (a year at most) learning the skills required for a senior position like CTO/team lead or...

    Gosh, that's really uplifting. I just can't stand the thought of me taking risks, not focusing as much on my career, and if things don't work out, I won't be able to afford many things, while they'll focus on their careers, be managers and directors, and pursue their dreams, go to the Maldives...

    Not entirely. I was the first to buy a house, and much cheaper than they did. I simply feel that at this stage, they've managed their careers a bit better and have better future prospects because of that. But it's probably also because I've focused on building SaaS and my products, so I haven't...

    MINDSET 
    I know life isn't fair, but I beat myself up for thinking I could have chosen a better career path and achieved a higher position than them. I know I shouldn't have such thoughts in my head, but I try to fight them. My current job for the past four years has been for a large bank, so it'll be...

    Built a Niche SaaS for Construction Equipment Rentals – What Am I Doing Wrong and How Do I Reach More Customers?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    So far, I’ve had some conversations over email and Messenger with a few companies. They seem interested in the app, but most of them suggested getting back in touch after the summer. The construction industry is extremely busy right now, and people just don’t have time for anything extra. And...

    Built a Niche SaaS for Construction Equipment Rentals – What Am I Doing Wrong and How Do I Reach More Customers?

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    Thanks for the question! Just to clarify — Boels is actually the kind of company my app is built for. They rent out machines and tools, while my software helps their dispatchers manage all the logistics behind those rentals. So it’s not a competitor to Boels — it’s a tool that helps companies...

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    As for the time and cost of getting started: It takes about 30 minutes to set everything up — just enter your machines, operators, and current jobs. There's no need for any training, because the app is extremely easy to use. Most people pick it up right away without any guidance. As for the...

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    Hi all, I’m working on a SaaS project in my spare time, aimed at construction equipment rental companies in Poland — businesses that rent out cranes, excavators, concrete pumps, etc. The app lets dispatchers easily schedule jobs using a visual calendar, shows when machines or operators are...

    Hey there, I’m not sure why, but I’ve always struggled with learning foreign languages. I’m a total non-talent when it comes to this. My level is supposedly basic B2, but stress often keeps me from speaking fluently. Funny enough, after a few beers on vacation, I can chat freely, hold...

    Idea for Growing a Marketing Agency – Am I on the Right Track?

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    Thank you @Andy Black so much for your answer. For now, I’d like to keep everything as simple as possible. At this stage, since I don’t have many clients yet, wouldn’t a regular Google Ads account be enough instead of using Google Manager? From what I understand, I can also link other...
