Most solo founders quit right before the boring part starts paying off. The real game begins after the initial excitement dies.

You don't need to be better than every other developer. You just need to help one person solve a problem they're really struggling with.

When the next project feels too big to attempt, build it anyway. You either ship something great, or you become the developer who can.

Your first paying user will teach you more about product and marketing than any course. The hard part is getting that first user when nobody knows your name yet.

The hardest skill in indie hacking isn’t coding or design. It’s continuing to work on the same project after the initial excitement dies and nobody is watching anymore.

The indie devs who actually make it don’t have better ideas than everyone else. They just get comfortable being bad at marketing while still shipping.

The best time to start building is when you feel the least ready. Overthinking steals more projects than bad code ever will.

The best marketing move for a solo founder is to reply thoughtfully to other creators in your space. Not to sell. Just to connect. It compounds.

Launching a product doesn't mean it's finished. It means you finally get to start learning what people actually want.

@Buttyman86 @brfootball Who you got in mind? His World Cup performance was tremendous!

@garyoneill @brfootball I would argue strongly against that

Emi Martínez breaks the previous record (9) of most saves in a men's World Cup final. He's got 11 saves vs. Spain. Putting in a shift 🧤

For every goal today, me going to eat a cookie.

All eyes on this going into the 2nd half

@TheNotoriousMMA Must’ve been in a different dimension 👽

@bet365 Well deserved 🇪🇸

Spain. Second. Star. ⭐️⭐️
