Investments in process automation pay for themselves. #Startup

After hours regularly wasted rebuilding a fresh development database (or workarounds to not rebuild), I finally dockerized the rebuilding & population via a simple script. Takes 18sec now. #BuildInPublic

This was a good reminder… every 20min matters!

We often underestimate the significant progress advantage of making every small opportunity count. #BuildInPublic #Startup

Let’s be honest… writing code is all about the destination, not the journey.

As a #solopreneur, I need speed & value. Blogging is value, but it’s slow. Considering programmable SEO. Most big companies do it with product data.

Maybe I can create high value initially with non-product data… #BuildInPublic

Goal was 1week/blog. This took 2weeks. But better to miss a goal than never try. #BuildInPublic

My roadmap from Civil Engineer to #Solopreneur:

✅Learn coding basics
✅Learn key concepts (launchschool.com)
✅Learn from a well-networked bootcamp (codefellows.org)
✅Get paid to learn at a tech company
⏳Build my own startup

From the inside, #Startups are a scramble of strategizing & delivering max value for min effort in min time. From the outside, you just see the passion.

Not matter how the tweets make it seem, you’re not alone, bootstrapped #startup! Hang in there, be smart, press on, & be encouraged by @mjwhansen on how to reach >1M ARR. #BuildInPublic

Twitter is hard. I could probably rewrite Twitter faster than learning to use this one. #BuildInPublic #FailInPublic

So few hours, so much to do. I love/hate strategic prioritization. If I could just do everything all at once…

If the onion doesn’t do it, try Google Analytics…

When the day job is paying the bills, it gets extended-hours precedence when duty calls. Sorry, #startup - nothing personal, it’s just business. #BuildInPublic

I thought I didn’t have time to #BuildInPublic with goodwyrk.com…

Then I realized, I only have time when I don’t have a #startup. So, no better time than now!

Do you rate the success of your day based on how much progress you make on your #startup? I do. Every day starts at zero.

Considered a pivot, then realized it could be a product-add…

Now, how to prioritize my time between goodwyrk.com content-creation vs market research for the pivot?

Keep in mind, you likely waste your potential product-building time using someone else’s product…

Being a #BuildInPublic dad with a full-time dev job means swing-shift building… 10pm-1am.

2022 starts with pausing feature development on goodwyrk.com to focus on blogging for indexable content… because Google decides what lives & dies on the internet. Google is slowly killing my inner creator. #BuildInPublic
