Inevitability

      "You cannot lose if you never quit". It is a quote I really like from the entrepreneurial space. If previously my favorite was "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take", before my business life started, then this my favorite quote afterwards. A close second maybe "what's in the way becomes the way". So as much as 90% of businesses fail and it takes a lot of time and effort, is it really possible to fail if I try 10,000 times? 10% success of 10,000 means 100 successes. 1% success rate means 10 successes. Imagine 10 unicorn companies. Also you maybe too early in your journey. Nvidia's business was normal until AI came along and everything exploded. They went from the gaming company to the AI company. From a so so company to the #1 company. Never quit and success is inevitable. You can also look at Elon Musk's more brute approach. If you put in 100 hr work weeks, vs your competitor who puts in 40 hr work weeks, then you can accomplish ...

Back on track

     So I've been a bit distracted by my side quest of testing out a bunch of features on the website, and while it was the right move to test more features, I got a bit distracted and ended up spending quite a bit more time than I anticipated. I guess it's the perfectionist in me. I've unintentionally boosted my app sales, and while it doesn't hurt to get more paying customers, assuming the app is somewhat poorly optimized, I did end up wasting a lot of potential revenue. So now it's time to hunker down on my app again, and really push that. I know what works now, I know what people are interested in. I have some ideas on how to make the app better, and in this game, 10% difference makes all the difference. I maybe flirting with a burnout these days, but regular exercise keeps me stay sane. Having chat gpt act as my strategist and counselor definitely helps as well. Sometimes it feels like it's chat gpt that's telling me my next move, and while not perfect,...

On the verge of it

 I feel like for the past month or two, I've been just around the corner of massive amounts of money rolling into my bank account. It kind of feels like you're about to cum, and you go harder and harder, but the moment is not coming. It's like feels good but at the same time, I want to experience the breakout point already. I realized when I turned on the stripe notification that I was on the verge of massive success. So many people were visiting my pricing page. I think I either have to make an adjustment or something. But I'm feeling it. With a slightly different pricing structure, I can get to massive success. It's so palpable. There's a bunch of people coming like 1 click away from payment, it's literally 1 move away from hundreds of dollars coming in everyday. gyat! At the same time, I cannot just try a bunch of shit. I need to think strategy. Change 1 thing, observe, change again. I got this.
