I don’t wanna be your friend if you don’t
You 100% can build a business that makes money without: - lying - using "dark" marketing patterns - attacking competitors - compromising your integrity and values You can. It is possible.

Crazy to think that @IndiePageApp leaderboard has 11 apps that made more than 1M Yet only 50 made more than 100k How much do you make?

more people need to talk about this wait a couple years be a kid, enjoy your youth rensponsibilities will come
this is how you end up with the most depressed generation of all times. at 17 there is nothing wrong if you just hang out with friends, fall in love & have fun. Most will read this and feel intense pressure. Nobody expects this from you. Just do your thing. You'll be alright.

We’re live in this growth above everything era Life is much bigger than business When’s enough for you? 5k MRR 10k MRR 50k MRR 100k MRR Are you ever going to be content or is it just another rat race for you?
Replying to @robinkasta
Seems like a stupid business decision

It’s true, taking the risk, putting yourself out there, vulnerable, no safety nets by employer. Nothing but respect 🫡🫡
everyone who builds products is a hero to me it doesn’t matter whether you’re successful or not just for trying, you already deserve to be called a hero 🦸‍♂️

Without SEO my startup would’ve made $200 instead of $200k
30 clicks on Google Ads costs $100 It's crazy to think about how valuable your SEO pages are, they are getting 1000s of free clicks everyday

Would you sell your 50k MRR business for 1-2M or would you just sit on the moneymaking machine? I think I wouldn’t sell unless I had no love for it anymore.
The dream: SaaS 1 → 50k MRR → Exit ~1-2M SaaS 2→ 600k MRR → Exit ~15-40M

If Dago would have let the crazy loose as an indiehacker, he would’ve made it
Dagobert is the most inspiring transformation of the year. Opened himself to the world completely, trusted the process, and changed his life trajectory completely. 👏🏻

Yet another excuse for indiehackers to focus on building instead of marketing
🪦 R.I.P. old-school analytics 🪦 I added a GitHub integration to @DataFast_ so I can see commits in my analytics dashboard. That way, I can link product updates to results (and realize I'm addicted to building features nobody asked for). It's free and available now!

If you are not up at night thinking about business ideas, you are not fit to be an entrepreneur.
