Everyone talks about the dream of quitting their 9-5. I didn’t choose it - I was laid off 3 times. Instead of breaking down, I’ve decided to break free. How I'm going to build a $10k/month Notion empire:

I'm building a Notion template for finding your ideal customer profile. What would you like to see in such a template for it to be valuable to you? https://buff.ly/3EHvpo4

Just adding the last bits of magic 🪄

Life is great in a 9-5

Marketing tip: 

 Reduce your customer's options. 

Too many options will cause decision paralysis. A confused customer is not a buying customer.

The internet changed how business works. 
Companies no longer sell products, they buy customers. What customers are you in the market for?

How do you deal with procrastination and the urge for naps?

Did you know?

 You can win the lottery if you work hard building a business every day for 5 years.

There are thought to be 5 types of intelligence: 1. Kinesthetic (movement) 2. Logical-mathematical 3. Linguistic 4. Interpersonal 5. Intrapersonal 6. Spatial 7. Musical 8. Naturalistic Which one do you excel at?

You know what's unfair? I am super productive at night. Why can't I be one of those daytime productive people?

Want to start a side hustle? Choose one that complements your 9-5. Force multiply your skills for maximum effect!

Tried building a SaaS, but everyone churned:

When building a business, focus is your greatest weapon. As Ron Swanson wisely said: ‘Don’t half-arse two things. Whole-arse one thing.’ Put your energy into what truly matters—and watch it thrive.

If your target customers ain’t bitchin’ they ain’t switching. People don’t change for ‘nice-to-haves’—they change to escape pain. Make sure your product solves a real, pressing problem. No pain, no gain.

How will people know I’m smart if it's not complicated?

Would your younger self be pleased with what you have achieved? Will your future self thank you for what you are doing today? I ask myself these 2 questions every morning. You should too.

List of 5 vital must-do's for your start-up: 1. Cool company name 2. Design bitchin' logo 3. Print business cards 4. Get a pool table 5. Merch (for sure!) Just kidding. 1. Build 2. Release 3. Iterate 4. Repeat

Think you know your biggest SaaS competitor? Spoiler: It’s probably Excel. Why? Because it’s familiar, flexible, and always the fallback Familiarity always wins.

Your brain has a finite number of decisions in it each day. Waste them on the trivial, and you’ll have nothing left for what truly matters. That's why I always have the same breakfast!

People don’t buy features—they buy the future those features create. Shift your focus: 🛑 Stop describing what it does. ✅ Start showing what it changes.

I have 4 kids. Decided to start a business, not because it’s risky to do so. But because it’s risky not to. I want to build MY future, not someone else’s

If your target customers ain’t bitchin’ they ain’t switching. People don’t change for ‘nice-to-haves’—they change to escape pain. Make sure your product solves a real, pressing problem. No pain, no gain.

My biggest mistake? Running from responsibility. Until I realised this: Responsibility = power. Taking ownership is taking control.

SaaS founders, be honest. Which one are you?

Unsuccessful people complain about their job. Smart people quit, build a competitor, acquire the company and fire their old boss.

At 30, I was overweight with $1.37 in my bank account. At 43, I have 4 kids, a wife, a business, and (almost) a six-pack. Life does get better. But only if you do.

“If your SaaS product is good enough, customers will come automatically” Bullshit. You find your customers first, then build a product specifically for them. This is the way

Elevator pitch > complicated ideas

Your number of followers don't match. But your quality of followers do. Followers that align your goals, will always make you more money.

There has to be a way...

School run done. Dinner cooked Lunches made Kids in bed. Back to it. Got to make that dollar, dollar bill y'all!

The work you do today doesn't need to be earth-shattering. It just needs to be enough to keep you progressing in the right direction! Consistency is key.

Since COVID-19, everyone is working remotely. Begs the question: What's the future of work? 1. In-office 2. Hybrid 3. Remote What's your opinion?

If you could pay someone to take one mundane task away from you, what would it be and how much would you pay?

If you could do what you do now for free, would you still do it? Trying to figure out if "passion is key" is really a lie or not.

1 single tweek to your contents could making all of the differences. A single tweak to your content makes all the difference. You see what I did there?

There are 4 key paths to market: 1. Sales-led 2. Marketing-led 3. Partner-led 4. Product-led Pick the one that fits your strengths Nail it and scale it!

Ouch…

If you had the choice - would you pick: Customers or a community? Customers = transactional Community = relationships And what do you think makes more money?

Is "perceived value" still value in your eyes? EXAMPLE: If the name of a pill was targeted at a paint point, despite being the same product as any other, do you think it would help? The Guardian thinks so:

Whats improved in your life since January 2024? Just asking to get some ideas for a template I can build to fix the rest of your problems.

Fear you won't find an audience? Fear not. Your tribe will find your vibe.

Do you work better at home or out in public?

If you feel stuck while on your journey, reach out and help someone. You will be rewarded with dopamine. That will give you the boost you need to get going again.

If your business was a superhero who would it be? I'll go first:

Your only 2 competitors? Status quo and inaction. Never settle.

Every solution starts with the right question. What’s the one powerful question you need to ask yourself today to inspire change?

Scared of failure? Doing nothing = guaranteed failure. Don’t be scared of failure, be scared of nothing
