My microbusiness management app is live, guys, https://t.co/xWSDMOcbij will allow you to manage clients, sales, inventory, products and stock, providers, providers' orders, and their statuses all in one app! It's free while on beta, so it can be fully checked out.

Something about a person who is absolutely unhinged in regular life but completely locked in when it comes to their career is so endearing to me

Researchers noticed a strange pattern: major life shifts often happen not after years of therapy, but after a single strong travel experience. People come back from a trip and suddenly quit jobs, end relationships, change cities, or finally start something they postponed for years.

A psychologist explained: "Travel breaks the illusion that your current life is the only possible one." Therapy works with words, travel works with direct experience.

lately when I meet new people, I ask them what their hobbies are instead of what they do for work, and let me tell you, the conversations have been absolutely top tier!

[blue @bluewmist]

i’m sorry, but the sexiest thing a person can do is expand my understanding on literally anything. teach me something new, explain it passionately in a way i’d understand, throw in a brainrot reference, and let me see the world differently than i did five minutes ago. i’m either fighting for my life or folding.

whoever said "if nobody is coming to save you, that probably means nobody is coming to stop you either" changed my life

i'm in love with this quote:

"if you're persistent, you'll get it. if you're consistent, you'll keep it. and if you're grateful, you'll attract more of it."

Your entire nervous system relaxes when your finances are in order. Most anxiety is not a mental health problem. It is a cash flow problem. Fix the money first.

@jacobrodri_ Im not sure what do you mean? Its available in my country too, and r dont have Lyft and bolt here so it literally compares local services

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@pcshipp @XSBacon Also it clearly say is revenue we don't know the costs + they do a TON of marketing, I get at least 5 ads on titkok everyday so there's also that

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@JonBuildsHQ The first dollar is the hardest! Keep it up

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@vaggelisdrak @marclou I was gonna say the same. Overall is safer too, you spread out payments so if it goes down you also invest when its down and gain on it etc

4 years ago, I quit my job with about a year of runway and a side project making around $1000/month.

It was way less than my salary, but enough to live happily with my family in my village.

But then some unexpected things happened and I went negative.

It felt like starting from zero again.

Still, I decided to continue and somehow 5x'd the revenue in the next 3 months.

TBH, when someone asks me, "Should I quit my job and go all in?"

I don't think there is one answer that fits everyone.

It depends on you.

Nobody knows your situation and abilities better than you..

If you think you can get a job again even if your startup doesn't work, it's a risk worth taking.

Otherwise, maybe build on the side until you have more proof..

@HelloVyom Hey! Looking forward to have more builders around

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@JonBuildsHQ Hey man, probably im just one more follower but this guide is pretty good. Ive built accounts to 1k but not tech related and it proves to be much harder because in this kind of spaces people want to follow other cool people that could teach them something

[Zach Yadegari @zach_yadegari]

After selling Cal AI, I was committed to pursuing hobby’s and really anything outside of business for a while.

That lasted 3 weeks before I was bored out of my mind.

I’m not wired that way.

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

I'll participate in the XPRIZE + Google hackathon about building and launching an app. Hardest will be to actually get clients in 3 months since thats something I've never done before. They check revenue too.

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

How do you guys actually verify the payment flow works correctly? I at first did it with the https://t.co/9ozfIcYo12 test link using a different account but I've switched to the actual flow right now and im not sure if my manage subscription button is sending to the correct flow

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@athcanft Im curious and this may be an stupid question but what's the actual net earning? Because if I assume you still run on $300 daily that would make it around 9k month which would put you exactly in the same point you where with 2k vs 3k with organic and influencers

[Mel Jiménez @gmjimenezc]

@Vasu_Devs I haven't tested it yet, but looks reaaally god! I tested another one but without the UI and adding a UI for this is very good and has a better experience overall

@hiarun02 Hey would love to connect! Trying to build a community here
