Just finished reading "The Minimalist Entrepreneur" by @shl. The core idea is simple: you do not need to chase a billion-dollar company. Find people who want what you are building, stay profitable, and let momentum do the rest. A few things that stuck with me: - Telling people about your project passionately works better than trying to sell it to them. - You need a manual, valuable process before you even think about building a minimum viable product. - Hiring is really about defining your values first, then finding people who fit them, not the other way around. - Every company should operate like it is fully remote and async. It forces you to write things down, build a knowledge base, and be more thoughtful by default. - Do not aim to be a dollar billionaire. Aim to be a time billionaire. Once money is not the constraint, use it to buy back your time. That last one is going to stay with me for a while. He also mentioned the "dizziness of freedom" - that feeling when you are staring at infinite choices and do not know which one to take. If you are building something on your own, or even just thinking about it, this one is worth your time :) Give it a read. Hope this helps :)
