Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to book consistent calls and hit $10k/mo. When I launched my business, I struggled to make money. I didn’t know how to find leads. So, I posted content. I had 3 - 4 viral Reddit posts that generated a few $100/mth subscriptions, but it was inconsistent. It left me wondering How will I make any money? Does my idea suck? How can I iterate on my product if I don’t have users? Even worse, I almost ran out of money multiple times. Posting content is a...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how bad habits will steal all your time. This is an updated version of a post I made on Reddit! Bad habits are like slow leaks in a tire. You won’t see the damage right away. But they'll slow you down and leave you stranded. You can fill your tire with air, but it will eventually deflate again. When I had bad habits, I was constantly putting out fires that I created for myself. It felt like the world was stacked against me, but I was actually doing the...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to gain control of your emotions. As ADHDers, we feel a rollercoaster of emotions, typically deriving from childhood traumas. As Dr.Hallowell and Dr.Ratey state in Driven to Distraction, Their [ADHDers] moods can be quite unstable, going from high to low in the bat of an eye for no apparent reason. In my 20s, my emotions were unstable. For example, from 2018 - 2020, I ruined all my birthdays. Was I drinking? Of course! I already have a big mouth,...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to build a good solution. A good solution solves users’ problems so well that they pay for it. I wasted a year figuring that out. Ultimately, I built a bad solution that was too advanced and didn’t generate revenue. I spent a year working in a silo instead of launching and giving it to users right away. Great solutions don’t come from pontification; they come from repetition and iteration. So launch fast and ask for feedback faster. As Paul Graham...

Hey Reader,ADHD meds are a powerful tool, but they are like training wheels. Meds revealed my capabilities, but if I wanted to go faster & farther, I had to move on from them. They transformed me from the kid in & out of detention to getting As as a chemical engineer on scholarship at USC. Lmao, the 3 on the right are within the same 2 days. Unfortunately, I became dependent upon them and couldn't complete any work without them. If anything, when I stopped taking meds, my symptoms were...

Hey Reader, Here are the 4 questions I ask myself when I'm not seeing my revenue grow: Are you spending enough time on your project or giving up to early? Give a business idea at least 6 months to a year before calling it quits. Typically, the growth I experience happens in leaps rather than a steady incline. So, you have to be consistent and patient. Are you selling something that people want? The biggest risk or riskiest assumption* in your business isn’t whether your product works — it’s...
