💰 Passed $10M/y in revenue + investment gains this year
I've always been aggressively increasing my profit margins to as high as possible, especially the last few years, and especially this year where I've reduced my SaaS dependencies to just a handful of companies by vibecoding my own replacements
It's now about 94.5% profit!
Spend less -> lower costs -> more profit -> more money saved -> more money to invest -> more % returns on investments
And at some point that investment return starts to pass by your business revenue which it has for me for about a year now
Most of my investments have been simple ETFs like Vanguard S&P500, but also a few lucky stock and startup bets that worked out:
Back in 2022, I couldn't get any available GPUs, so I thought it might be smart to buy Nvidia if there's such a shortage and that was a good bet too
Then back in 2023 @dannypostma recommended me to invest in the companies we used for our AI inference for our photo AI apps, so I did that too. First I invested in @replicate and then also @FAL
From then I just asked every app/service I used if I could invest, like @cursor_ai in 2025 which then got acquired by @spacex recently!
My business revenue has remained very stable at about $200K-$250K/mo, but even with that investment returns have now surpassed that
Investments fluctuate a lot so some years it's up some years it might be down a lot (who isn't expecting a big crash at some point?), and most investment gains are unrealized (I never sell!), so keep that with a big grain of salt!
I keep my revenue/gains together with my profit margin and my sleep score in my situation monitor dashboard, as those are equally important :D
Many people in the last decade told me to spend all my money, either personally or with my business to grow it, we don't know how that would have ended up, maybe my companies would be bigger, but I'm happy I did it in my own lean profitable healthy way and it ended up great I think! 🙏😊

This is crazy. It literally happened to me yesterday on my Zim Econet number.
They triggered an OTP, and I immediately knew something was off. I activated 2FA straight away and beat them to it.
A few minutes later and my number could’ve been taken. 😳

Before automating a process:
Remove unnecessary steps.
Clarify ownership.
Define the decision rules.
Plan for exceptions.
Then automate the parts that make sense.
ERP. Cloud. Data. AI.
The business question stays practical: what will people be able to do better?

On Children
by Kahlil Gibran
And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.
And he said:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
From The Prophet.
A question for founders:
If you stepped away for a month, what would stop working?
Start there. Document it. Share access appropriately. Develop someone else’s ability to own it.

These gentle donkeys in Tanzania work hard carrying water and heavy loads for the communities that depend on them. But many face dehydration, painful wounds, hoof problems, and exhaustion.
Animals First Aid is proud to support our new partner, Meru Animal Welfare Organization (MAWO), who are working directly in these communities to provide veterinary care, improve access to water, and teach humane donkey welfare.
In 2025 alone, MAWO's mobile clinics reached 4,038 donkeys. Now, with your help, we want to reach even more.
📷 Your donation can help provide:
📷 Treatment for wounds and injuries
📷 Hoof and eye care
📷 Veterinary support
📷 Better access to drinking water
📷 Humane education to prevent suffering
These donkeys carry the burdens of others every day.
Let's carry some of theirs.

A remote team needs answers it can find:
What matters?
Who owns it?
When is it due?
Where was the decision recorded?
Clarity is part of the working environment.
Today, despite the global population surpassing 8 billion, fewer people live in extreme poverty than 200 years ago, when the global population was just over 1 billion.
Before putting AI into a workflow, name the person responsible when it gets something wrong.
Then define:
• What it may do
• What needs review
• How mistakes get corrected
Accountability is a design requirement.
Good technology work starts with clear questions.
Who needs it?
What should become easier?
Who will maintain it?
That thinking sits behind Sregit’s work across engineering, mobile, and IT consulting.

Nonprofit capacity includes the unglamorous things:
Clear records.
Usable budgets.
Reliable handovers.
Someone responsible for following up.
The mission needs an operating system.
