    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Because dying is illegal and would just make my family sad. Really, I have not much motivation to live so I'm trying to do my best in current circumstances.

    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I do, I appreciate what I have, but it gets harder day by day when not winning. Web development (which I freelance right now), social media paid ads (talking to one friend that has a manufacturing company). Not like I'm not trying, it's just it all feel slow and without real big numbers at the...

    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    A lot of based responses. Thank you, will go through each one by one. In the last 2 years I had a personal trainer and gained over 15kg in muscle mass while being depressed more or less. I look better now, but I still feel like shit. Small wins didn't seem to work for me as much nor got me...

    Did that many times. Now I live back at my Mum's place - died too many times after burning ships.

    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I am on this forum for God knows how long (over a decade) and after so many fails I noticed one thing this year. I am no longer hungry. I just can't force myself to go at it again and I don't even know what kind of business I could do. Totally clueless at what people might want that I can...

    Dad Of 7 On A Mission To Help Men Be Better Men

    INTRO 
    But father's vision is not always what sons want. In such case it becomes a very toxic relationship.

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I don't really know why I failed, I just know I'm tired of downward spiral for more than the last decade. I just wanted to make money and live a life. Tried many things, all of them failed - now I freelance as a dev, but it's not even $4k/m job so I do low-cap crypto on the side. The usual...

    The "Astonishing Secrets" Thread

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I recently realized that some people are just not cut to make it in business. There are no astonishing secrets to anything. Just some people get this game naturally and some will struggle all their life. I tried a lot for the last 16 years and I'm still broke af, failed. A bit tired of trying...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Man, this whole post you wrote deserves a separate thread. A lot of gold in there! Just this first quarter of 2023 I did like 3 tech exercises just to fill up my GitHub more, but now I reject those for two reasons: - I have enough code on my GH to not need it - if someone wants tech exercise...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Hi Cristi, yes, idea was a spin-off on Designjoy, but design seems to be much easier to perform consistently in the same time. Was an interesting experiment, maybe the execution wasn't there. Surprisingly, I get to hear that Upwork actually works - would you mind to dive deeper on that one...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Hi Smarty, I didn't put any updates because I frankly didn't had not even much - ANY success. To start with cold emailing 1200 web dev companies around the world to have maybe three replies and not have even one booked call. After 3 months I realized that productizing such service is much MUCH...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Short update: - I started cold emailing Webflow agencies since I got to know they often deal with custom JavaScript code. I sent manually over 300 of them, got handful of responses and no customer (nor a single booked call). Not really sure what to do next. I'm looking at...

    The $10K/day: Matching Goals with Industry + Business Model

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    The agency I started two weeks ago (and probably any agency for that matter) is able to get to $10K/day. I calculated it like that: - 10K/day * 30 days = $300K/month (in profit) - 1 customer => $3k/mo (revenue) - 166 customers => $500k/month (revenue) - 30 developers => $120k/month (salaries)...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    I basically cut the salary of a Senior Vue.js/JavaScript developer in half (more or less) and another thing is that I code really fast so it makes more sense for me to go that way instead of hours (which also limit upside potential).

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Hey Voyageur, thanks for asking! Yes, I work by myself at this moment and it's me that is doing all the coding work. In the future I will gauge if I want to continue doing it by myself or actually hire extra people. It's a bit different from UpWork: you don't pay by the hour or per task ->...

    I Just Launched Vue.js/JavaScript Productized Service

    EXECUTION 
    Today I launched Vue.js Agency as a productized service and wanted to share it with you. I will divide this post in two parts. First part is the sales pitch I used on IndieHackers post today (to keep it short and sweet) and the second part is the backstory of it and how I got it all together...

    I'm about to get hired as senior developer and I'm not happy about it

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I was living off of credit card so I could focus on (trying to make) money anywhere but normal day job. I didn't travel much nor I was eating out, I was just buying time with borrowed money. That's how much I was trying to avoid working for someone. True. If I get this job (and I just got...

    I'm about to get hired as senior developer and I'm not happy about it

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I admit, last two years in crypto f'd with my head. I put on the table $10k from my cc and made over $300k in unrealized profits in first 2 months thinking it will go up even more (which was already like 7x of my all debts in total so I could've paid debts right there with just a small part of...
