Produce (work) more than you consume (watch/read/listen to entertainment).
Work intentionally, have fun intentionally, create a balance that you control. Free up a few (3-4) hours a day.
This is the blueprint I've followed to build my own business/income in ~4 years. This is how I learned to make websites + apps, learned SEO, learned how to write well, and how to grow my SaaS product.
👇
Produce (work) more than you consume (watch/read/listen to entertainment).
Work intentionally, have fun intentionally, create a balance that you control. Free up a few (3-4) hours a day.
Do free work that helps save them time, make them money, or save them money (things that people will pay for).
Do a bit every day. Because it's free, there's less pressure to perform
Figure out what works and what doesn't work (there's definitely a lot of advice out there that doesn't work or is contextual to the environment it works in).
Customize your work to enhance your strengths (things you like doing) and mitigate your weaknesses (things you don't like doing).
A productized service (get paid for the work regardless of how long it takes)
Or my favorite, a product (you spend lots of time up-front to build and then sell repeatedly).
A product is harder to grow and get paid for, but can scale far beyond yourself without much work/time on your end.
Learn from mistakes and keep pushing through failures. New problems are good, it means you're growing.

I shipped all these apps in 2020. Most of them generated $0.
🎬 https://t.co/JAhXqsuu6h $0
🌍 https://t.co/BrNUAhfiIT $0
💡 https://t.co/ZWcLfOH4aI $0
🐞 https://t.co/aghOxYEcPI $1.99
👍 https://t.co/2JhJLe27pW $3,025 in 10 days.
But that's ok, just keep shipping! My stories👇
🎬 https://t.co/wuiBp1XsYD is the first thing I created. It's a community for indie makers. The different thing is we post updates in videos. I created it for fun as I think the world doesn't need one more text-based forum, so I make a video one. No monetization plan so far.
🌍 https://t.co/fiwjgCWho5 is a social app. The idea is from Linktree, an app to share your social links. I thought it would be cool to add more visuals to it, and meanwhile we can explore others around. I also have no monetization plan for it. Make it for fun too.
💡 https://t.co/fZfL45uvVX is a platform to connect influencers with their fans. People says it's like @superpeer. But the only difference is it's all sync. Influencers don't need to commit their time to fixed slot. Fans pay to ask questions, influencers can answer at anytime.
Continuing Influenswer... I think the product has its potential. But for now maybe I didn't find the right niche to serve. Will re-evaluate it in future.

Random, but it seems that @DanCrenshawTX is a member of a group founded by Klaus Schwab, who is the architect of the "Great Reset" initiative. https://t.co/4FcAwqw7PQ
Other members include Pete Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, and a whole slew of other politicians.
You've also got Alexander Soros, David Rothschild, Mark Zuckerberg, and Alicia Garza, among many many others.
Some of their ambitions include something resembling the Green New Deal.
And working with the UN to find entrepreneurial opportunities for refugees in other countries.
Check this out.
