I didn't want to do new years resolutions this year, but when contemplating not doing any, I came up with more than any year before this... I have them jotted down in great detail, but basically;
1. Make 100k$ with creating and selling something. I have done this a bunch of times before but became complacent working on my main project. So that I want to attempt.
2. Build something VR. The Quest 2 (both because of Immersed because someone here on HN said it was great); as a long time follower of VR (headsets in the 00s that gave me feelings of strokes, vrml, the kickstarter first Rift, psvr etc) this thing is a gamechanger and now vr has arrived.
3. Walk. A lot. This year I did 2021 km so next year 2022 at least.
- leetrout 5y agoCan you share more about other things you have made and sold?
- tluyben2 5y agoMost were a while ago (hence the complacent part), but I made a hosting panel (those were popular little over 10 years ago) and sold that (made well over 100k$ in a few months), hosting company hosting millions of sites/apps, a proprietary CMS company, a company that sold games related stuff, a dating site, a PoS system+hardware and a bunch more things. They were all side projects at the time besides the CMS company (which managed to get to 400 staff before I sold) and all ran almost automatically after the onramp efforts. Also, and this seems a weirdo thing here on HN, if I had partners/co-founders (and with most I did), for almost all of these goes that I have never seen or even voice talked with them. I did not know them before, we met online and just assumed trust. We made good money just over text chat. And that's how I ran the CMS Corp as well (as cofounder/cto). I want to do that again in 2022.
- bitcoinmoney 5y agoSweet deal. How much did you make in total?
- lifeplusplus 5y agoHow did you know you should build these and who were your customers
- tluyben2 5y agoDifferent per project; I sell best b2b and see consumers more as a wildcard/luck. But managed both. And I knew what to build by talking to businesses or looking around on forums (I am old) what people ask for. Now Twitter and HN and reddit are pretty good to figure out what to create.
- ifemide06 5y agoI'm keen if you have any interesting project in mind.
