😲 It's finally here, all my mind-maps in one place! 🧠 Mind The Magazine - Collection #1 is now on @gumroad! 👇 There are only 20 early bird variants for $5, so get them while they're fresh! gumroad.com/l/MTM-2021-1


🔥 What are you willing to burn to keep the fire growing?


🤯 The more reach you have, the richer you are.


🦜 Talk less. 👂 Listen more.


🤷 Lately I've been out of ideas... 🤔 What content would you like to see from me?


💻 Freelancing in the embedded seems weird, but here's where it works: 🔸You need a small team to prototype a new project 🔸You need an expert to help with a topic 🔸You want to outsource a task 🤔 What other scenarios can you think about?


💪 It's essential to get out of your comfort zone daily. 🦷 For example I wash my teeth with my off-hand. 😡 Initially this was incredibly hard, I used my whole body to do this but now it's almost natural. 🤔 What small things do you do daily to get out of your comfort zone?


😡 Marketing is hard for technical founders. 😠 Programming is hard for non-technical founders. 🤷 Get a co-founder that is good at what you suck at and call it a day.


🕛 Sometimes we quit too early. 🕤 Sometimes we quit too late. 👨‍🏭 I don't necessarily mean a job. 🤷 It could be a personal project, a business, anything. 😿 Choosing when to quit seems like a nightmare for any startup founder.


🦥 Success makes me lazy. 🏃 Failures make me hyped. 😅 But I do enjoy my success and mourn my failures when they happen.

🎢 The life of a creator has its ups and downs. 📉 The life of a consumer is constant, but slowly declining. 😁 The good news? 💪 You can always be a creator!

🙈 I quit 9-5 to work 9-9. 😂 And I like it.


🚀 I am a senior developer. 🔸 I still have to read the documentation. 🔸 I still ask for help. 🔸 I still learn new things every day. 🤷 I don't know everything, but I do know how everything fits and what the end result should be.


🚀 The quickest roadmap to start a business: 👬 Find your audience. 🕵️ Observe. 🤕 Find pain points. ✅ Think of a solution. 🗨️ Validate the solution through feedback. 🔑 Implement the solution. 💶 Charge money for it.

🤣 I observed that I like sales more than I like coding. 💪 Every time I go in a call with a potential customer I feel hyped. 🤷 But the coding part gets boring after a couple of months.


🌅 Are sunrises better than sunsets? 🍏 Is Android better than iOS? 🤷 Is Google better than Microsoft? 😅 It doesn't really matter. 💪 I think it's best that we invest our energy into enjoying what we have and our choices, rather than wondering what would have been if...

🤔 I never told you what the logo from Nokto Studios represents. 🌄 I created this logo thinking about sunsets and sunrises: 🔸 the end of an era and a way of working, and the dawn of a new one 🔸 the dawn of remote freelancing in the embedded industry 🔸 the dusk of relocating

⏩ If you want to go fast, go alone. ▶️ If you want to go far, go together. 👯 I couldn't get this far without support. 🤗 One of my main supporters is actually my girlfriend. 💪 Remember to celebrate the people around you!

😍 Flexibility gives you the opportunity to work from a place like this. 🕜 But remember to also dedicate actual holiday time. 📆 This is my first holiday in the last 3 years. 😅 It's weird how much willpower is needed to let business aside for a week.
