I’m 20 . Burned a few hundred dollars 💸 Made $0 online 🫠 Failed at 3 startups 📉 But I couldn’t be happier 😄 While my friends are doom-scrolling 📱 I’m obsessed with building 🛠️ Right now I’m creating a daily investment brief for retail investors 📊 My goal? 🎯 Travel the world 🌍 Build what I want 🧱 Never report to a boss 🚫👔 Is it tiring? 😮‍💨 Extremely . Is it safe? ⚠️ No. Am I going all in? 🎲 Of course 💪 If you’re out there building and feel like giving up. Take this as a sign to press on chase your dreams 🚀 I mean, that’s why you started right?🤩

Day 42 of building in public ✅ First day of SEO!! - found the keyword i want to rank for - made amendments to my website to rank for the keyword Now its just a waiting game for google to update my site😎

@LucasFlandre Thank you Lucas!

@RandBuildsStory Well done!

I hit 500 followers on TikTok!! Im going to post my weekly build in public posts on TikTok! My goal? 🎯 - Build a personal brand. Why? Loyal followers provide you a base audience even if you fail and start a new startup.

Day 4️⃣1️⃣ of building in public✅ Didnt get a lot of work done today, but still made small progress. - Reviewed marketing strategy (i realised i hate doing marketing and i only want to build) - Started building a Reddit content creation automation system, but i might scrape it😭 - Researched SEO strategies - Dailyinvestmentbrief is finally connected to WordPress🔥 My website expenses went down from $20+/month -> $6/month

@shippedbytim I sort of cheated too😂 I just rebranded an old account into a build in public account. But i crossed 500 after i posted my build in public videos

@RandBuildsStory Congrats man, you’re growing much faster on TikTok! Keep going strong! 💪

@its_MayYang Making slow n steady progress🔥

@RandBuildsStory Exactly. How's your build coming along?

Luck isn't random. I used to think attending different networking events was the right move. It’s not. The shift happened when I started showing up consistently to the same community. You meet the same faces, and conversations get a little deeper each time. That’s when things started clicking. Opportunities came without asking. People began thinking of me when something relevant came up. The more people you meet, the luckier you get.

Day 4⃣0⃣ of building in public!! - spent the time today to refine the user feedback form after someone subscribes to the daily investment brief✅ I'm quite happy with the design and cant wait to get customer feedback!

Day 3️⃣9️⃣ of building in public✅ Im currently sending a follow up email to get feedback to everyone who signs up for my daily investment brief. But the problem is… Noone replies.. I spent sometime today building a welcome page where my subscribers will be directed to a simple form when they submit their email. This is my simple experiment to see if Email survey -> website form Will help me collect more user feedback. Ill be posting more updates!!
