“Build something useful. Not something big.” Just finished reading Anything You Want by Derek Sivers—and it’s a solid read. No motivational fluff. Just clean, straight-up stories from someone who actually built something real (CD Baby), made millions, and gave it away like it was pocket change. Here are some things that hit me hard (and honestly, I feel more founders need to hear this): Business isn’t about chasing money. It’s about helping people. Money’s just the side effect of solving a real problem well. You don’t need a 5-year plan to start. He just fixed a small problem for some friends & himself, kept improving it, and boom—business. No mission decks, no “let’s raise seed” mindset. Just doing the work. You can make your own rules. No meetings? No investors? Fully async team? Do your thing—as long as it helps you actually serve people better. Customers don’t care about your grand vision. They care about whether your product works today. A lot of folks forget this while chasing unicorn dreams. If it doesn’t fit, skip it. Not every opportunity is worth chasing. Stay focused. Shiny distractions are still distractions. The book’s basically a reminder that it’s 100% okay to build something small and niche, as long as it’s genuinely useful. So if you’re building something right now—don’t stress about being the “next big thing.” Focus on being the right thing for a small group of people. That’s where the magic starts. Anyway, big fan of this book. Super chill read. If you’ve read it—or are building something cool—drop it here. Would love to check it out.

You don’t need more time. You need less hesitation. Stop chasing perfect. Start building messy. Clarity comes after action. Not before. It’s not about doing it right. It’s about doing it until it’s right.

People don’t just buy products; they buy status. If something is sold cheaply in a regular place, most won’t care. But brand it, sell it in a premium store at a higher price, and suddenly, everyone wants it. It’s not just about the product—it’s about

If you’re building something, don’t wait for the “perfect launch.” No ads, no fancy design — I just shared a working demo. 48h later, people from 50+ countries were using it. don’t chase perfection. Just make it usable and post it.

Yes, I will also try it.

What is Pre-Seed About in India? Most founders chasing “pre-seed” don’t fully get what it means. It’s not about raising big 💰 It’s about proving you’re worth betting on - when there’s almost nothing to show. Here’s what it really looks like: a. N

A brutally honest truth about making $1M is this: It often requires you to sacrifice your time, relationships, peace of mind, and comfort — for way longer than you think. Everyone talks about hustle and strategy, but no one tells you how lonely, obs
