    Hey Everyone, This was a heavy week. I’m now two weeks out of school, free from coursework, and finally sitting in the open space I’ve been waiting for — and it’s real. The build window is wide open. I was trying to learn Git branches, JavaScript functions, and debug stealth automation — so...

    Hello everyone, This week was a mix of wrap-up while trying to still keep momentum. I'm finishing school right now, so I’ve been managing limited bandwidth — but I still made sure to ship something every day. The big win: I built a script that extracts emails from business websites. It’s...

    Fight Club & Nietzsche: Unscripted Doctrines

    MINDSET 
    I've stumbled on this recently and it honestly shocked me, also just like Unscripted, its like this slave morality insidiously is put into our brain as children: Share your toys, don't be greedy, don't be too competitive, be still. And when you really break it down, the slave like morals aren't...

    Thank you so much for responding! I have been trying Linkedin for outreach, and it's been ok, I don't have premium so there is a limit to how much I can direct message people I'm not already connected with (about 5) so it's been annoying dealing with the barrier by mass spamming connection...

    Thank you so much! Honestly, I don't enjoy cold calling but once I get over the anticipation it isn't so bad. Rejection isn't really hard its more the overthinking beforehand that is annoying. I haven't really cold emailed much yet but I'm going to this week. The article you mentioned was really...

    Hello, this week I called 9-10 places, my dad took me on a trip for the past two days so I haven't called then. The calls I made were not as effective/lucky as before.

    This week I started making calls, I decided to focus on 1 group instead of calling a range of different places. I called small businesses in financial service industries. I'm trying to do some customer discovery because I feel like that's been holding me back. I did 8 calls in the last 2 days...

    Ok weekly update, it was not so great this week progress-wise. The companies I called were mostly financial firms that had strict Monday through Friday operating periods, which is when I'm busy with other stuff so I didn't plan it well when I tried to over the weekend. In addition, I was sick...

    Thank you! What did the companies you talk to like about the idea if I may ask, I am struggling with that right now. Did you get them onboard and did you have a team when you did the competition?
