You know, being a dev is way easier than being an IT guy, as a dev, you can write some garbage code with zero performance and call it a day. But then it's the IT team that has to spend days (and nights) trying to keep the servers from exploding. 😂 you can…

You're a Startup? 🙄

Here’s the thing: if what you’re trying to achieve in your life is uncertain and something new that will definitely add value to yourself and others, then you’re an entrepreneur, and your life is a startup.

Wait, what? Yeah, because that’s the definition of a startup, something uncertain that’s aiming to create value. So, let me ask you this. what’s the MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of your life that you want to achieve? I am talking about you, physically and mentally . What are the uncertain things you want to try and test? What’s something you can do now just as a test?

As you work on modifying or even creating yourself, and as this self becomes a product to be "bought," you will sell yourself, others will "buy" into you, and you are also a service. You’re both a product and a service.

So, if you think that modifying and creating yourself feels highly uncertain, or you’re asking, "What if I fail?" and thinking it requires investment in yourself, well, guess what? You own a startup, and you are an entrepreneur.

But if you see it as a process, and not as uncertainty, that’s great! Just make sure you’re not stuck waiting, hoping that one day you’ll have everything you need, or that fear of failure holds you back. Because if you feel that way, you’re still uncertain, so go back to the beginning you’re a startup.

But either way, investing in yourself is something we all need to not only consider, but act on, "do it right now!"

you know simply learning about startup success stories, especially those that seem like rare, lucky cases (like winning the lottery), is not very useful. It’s like reading a guide on how to "win" at slot machines, which is largely based on luck rather than skill or strategy. No amount of advice, such as superstitions about "hot" machines or lucky charms, can truly teach you how to win in a game of chance.

Similarly, reading startup success stories without understanding the real, replicable strategies behind them won’t help you build your own successful startup. It’s a critique of focusing on sensationalized, luck-driven narratives instead of practical, actionable knowledge.

like if you agree 👍

I was reading Zero to One by Peter Thiel of course, you know him, the guy from PayPal. He and Elon Musk were rivals at first, both having similar platforms, until they merged them and called it PayPal, which eventually led to a successful exit. What amazed…

I was reading about the value of audacity and boldness. Sometimes, it's better to take bold actions, but other times it's necessary to wait for the right moment. boldness isn’t always on our side. Sometimes, we need to make small, simple, hidden moves that, when combined, create a bold outcome.

for me timidity has no value in any situations unless you're using it to deceive, plot, or as a bait or smokescreen to disguise your true intentions and boldness.

even in the game of deception, authenticity is sometimes needed. Your own deception could become your trap, a hole you’ve dug for yourself.

i mean you don't actually need to deceive anyone, at least, its your choice but its a pity the wold want to be deceived and it the way you can get what you want, sometimes. i am not saying you need to be a con artist or any related for the matter just Play safe, and play smart. i know is contradicting as the world is

Do you know a "breakage model" or "sludge practice."

In this tactic, companies offer incentives like free items, discounts, or rebates that seem enticing but require complex, time-consuming, or tedious steps to redeem. Most customers either give up or fail to complete the process due to the effort involved, and the company benefits because they don't have to fulfill the promised reward.

For example, a company may offer a free product, but the customer has to:

1. Fill out extensive forms.
2. Complete surveys.
3. Go through multiple verification steps.
4. Visit a specific location within a tight deadline.

Because the process is intentionally made difficult, many clients never finish, allowing the company to avoid giving out the free item while appearing generous. It's a calculated strategy to minimize costs and maximize profit while appearing to offer value.

This approach is often criticized for being deceptive, even though technically, the company is fulfilling its promise, but only to the few customers who manage to navigate the hurdles.
