Not doing this for the money.. my corporate gig paid well but it was soul sucking.. as I mentioned.. doing this for exploring my curiosity and see where it takes me.. not to become the richest man in the world.. im happy im able to make enough to live a sustainable lifestyle and provide for my family.

And its not 8000 hours, I work 3-4 hours a day on most days..so around 1000 hours a year.. but even that doesn't feel like work..it feels like play..


here's every project I've tried since


Apple is launching a $1000 smart home display!


first time hearing about amp.


Have you ever heard of a company called Apple?


I have no idea how high Apple's profit margins are, but I am quite sure they are not small. But what is your point, that is also a market failure.


Yes right!

I think Twitter is a great place to find interesting people with similar values - customers, clients, collaborators and even friends.

That's why I do everything I can to increase my reach while still maintaining my peace of mind.

I don't see anything wrong with that.


This is the same one-sentence paragraph style that tweets and LinkedIn posts are written in. What is it, and why do you use it?


I have gone the full distance read the article and followed it up by going to the actual twitter account. It is as bad as I thought.

Yea, sort of, but different aspects of it.

Coz predictable, simple money is what keeps us hooked to jobs we hate. So the escape from that will also be around money.


Yes I agree.. And there are so many benefits I've found -

- More time and freedom to work on my creative project. - Have more time for my family - Connect with people from across the world.

It's totally worth it, but can be hard for some people, that's why I think they need to focus on these 5 questions.


I quit my job last year and have been working for myself since then. I've been asked by many people about what should they know/do before they quit their job.

I think these 5 questions can help anyone figure out their path


Hey HN

Exactly 1 year ago today I quit my job to go solo.

I've worked as a freelancer, consultant and also released a few of my own products.

My revenue is alright, almost matched my salary, but that wasn't my goal when I quit.

I wanted to reclaim my life and have more time and freedom.

Was able to do that, I'm in quite a happy state right now :)
