Had an idea for a directory in 2024.
Launched it.
Nobody cared.
Made <$2 a day for 5 months.
Still worked on it every single day.
Nobody understood why I kept going.
Then a company paid me $2,000 to sponsor it.
That changed everything.
2 years later, still generating revenue.
Just ship it.

My entire 'business strategy' is literally: "I wonder if that will work? Let me try."
That's it. That's how I pay my mortgage, buy groceries, and travel the world.
Money keeps coming in every day and I'm still shocked it works.

In New Zealand, SEGA is pronounced SEE-GAH but in Asia it's pronounced SAY-GAR.
After intensive research I found that SEGA is short for "SErvice GAmes of Japan". They sold slot machines to US military bases after WW2.
So SEGA is most fairly pronounced SER-GAY.
There you go, now nobody is happy.

It all starts with a leap into the unknown and a tiny little experiment.
Business is a never-ending cycle of starting and trying new things.
Asking people whether they'll pay for those things.
Trying again based on what you've learned.
