    July update: In talks for 2 new potential consulting projects, but because of the August holidays coming up, these will drag out to September for sure AI has been a wrecking ball that has affected every SaaS project I've worked on so far. Seems like every other consulting company has built...

    June update: Super excited to finally have secured the $60k consulting project, my biggest so far, in the bag with contract signed. Since this is money that is extra, my living expenses are already covered from other work, it's mind boggling to think that I could buy a decent car with cash...

    May update: Re-marketing the app is being delayed, I found a bunch of errors I need to fix before I can offer a free trial again or else this will not convert Made an extension of the app which has some keen interest for internal use in one of the companies I contract for. Considering spinning...

    April update: Have not been able to convert any trial users to paid users for SaaS app. Will dial down the AI data pipeline to reduce burn rate to max $200/month and spend that money on getting an email list and trialing a cold email campaign or also LinkedIn ads. Restarted my article-writing...

    March update: Through some gruelling outreach, I managed to get a few trial users for the SaaS, with good feedback, but no conversions yet. The AI data ingestion pipeline, after adding new features, is costing between $600-800 per month, so if I can't validation soon I will have to stop the...

    New AI use case detected compliments of breakcold.com I was trying to start implementing a CRM for my consulting business, and I was close to choosing Pipedrive, but creating all the pipelines, deals and filters felt like a huge task. I then tried Breakcold, and their onboarding was a...

    Has Moving to a Warm and Sunny Climate Made You Happier?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Absolutely. Setting up business/taxes is an exercise in patience, but after everything is set up, it is amazing, smooth and with some great perks like no capital gains tax. The real problem with Cyprus is that, for many people, me included, it is not livable for the entire year, it is only good...

    January update: Strong start to the year. Had a 10-day holiday cancelled and ended up working on my app. I used that time to improve the functionality and then generated a massive competitive intelligence PDF that I used as a LinkedIn lead magnet. As a result, I went LinkedIn viral within 2...

    Choose Hard, Live Easy: The Art of War for Decision-Making (Release thread)

    HOT! BOOKS 
    Instant pre-order. I hope this will help with more nuanced decisions. Things like diet are obvious hard/easy binaries with short/long-term impact. But when it comes to other decisions, the hard option may be obvious, but it may not have a clear long term payout over the easy option.
