Thanks, I enjoyed reading these.
Did you see value in the 30x500 course? Would you say it’s worth the price tag (I think it was 4K last I checked)?
I’m in a similar spot where I’m mostly disillusioned from salaried work. I enjoy writing quality and long term code and companies tell me it’s what they want when they hire me, but when the rubber meets the road, what they want is quick and dirty quality be damned.
But I can’t think of anything that I could sell for myself (either a course or a SaaS). I’ve had ideas before but always ran out of steam before they were useable. I usually spend a lot of energy on the project setup (deploy from git push, tooling config, etc)
And honestly, it doesn’t feel like I have the stamina to work so hard for year for maybe a payoff in the future.
Any thoughts on the above? How would you tackle it?
- rozenmd 5y agoI did see value - and after accounting for the tax deduction, I've reached a positive ROI after about 9 months of work. I mean it when I say work, researching and publishing a new article weekly and also coming up with a product to sell was challenging. In terms of raw money earned per hour, it hasn't been particularly impressive, but 30x500 taught me to see customer pain in a completely different way, and to stop continuously reaching for SaaS as a solution to every problem.
