That's an awesome achievement.

Curios: How did you go from DR15 to DR47 in one day on Aug 26th. Is it just a bug with frogdr ?

I implore you:
Take the risk.
Build your dream life.
Or regret it forever.

In reality those risks aren’t bigger than losing your job.

Everyone has skills that could earn more.
The only question: will you risk it?

The math is simple:
If I don’t take the risk, I lose 20 years of my life.

Then a freelancer told me:
“If you go solo, you’ll make 3x more. You’ll earn in 10 years what would take you 30 in a job.”

When I started, I knew the end clients were paying $10K+ per month for my work.
I was getting cents on the dollar.

that's exactly the addiction I want
September 25, 2025 at 4:28 PM
Exactly. I wish I could get more people to understand this.

They are being loyal to a job that would replace them with AI or cheaper workers with the first opportunity they got.

For me it's either:
- during or after hitting the gym
- in my sleep (in which case I write them down in a google doc if I remember them when I wake up)

Facts. Most people blame the email copy, when the real killer is garbage data.

Clean list = half the battle won.

Simple, but deadly accurate.

Too many people chase ‘cool ideas’ instead of painful problems. Solve what hurts (for people who can pay), and the business builds itself.
September 23, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Exactly.
Nobody’s paying you for “clean architecture”

They’re paying you for solved problems.
Tech is the vehicle, not the value.

Facts.

Too many confuse motion with momentum.
A real business isn’t built on ideas or MVPs, it’s built on systems that scale.

💯

The right mastermind feels like a mix of boardroom + therapy session.

Keeps you sharp and sane.

Facts.

Isolation tricks you into thinking you’re “figuring it out,” but really you’re just slowing yourself down.

The right conversations save months of trial and error.

That hard problem at work everyone avoids? Take on it, put everything you got into it, you will get it done.

If you can convince yourself that IT MUST BE DONE, you will find a way to do it.

That job interview? So what if you fail it, you can retry in a couple of months, or you can try another company (quick tip, there's thousands)

That startup idea? So what if it fails, you can try another idea. Either way you'll learn a lot that can be applied to other parts of your life.

Getting close to the launch of one of my SaaS projects.

Just got wrongfully banned on X while testing my integration with X login.

And since that's where I plan to get most of my organic traffic, it sort of hurts(even if I get unbanned).

But I keep going because I truly believe in the idea
