Hey! I'm Janis Ozolins, the creator behind all this. Here's my about page.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
A day in the life of most people.
“There are some people who naturally uplift our energy - the trick is finding them.” – Ali Abdaal
Notification came, and the focus went.
You've got this.
Procrastination that feels like “work”.
Ship and iterate.
Promise less, deliver more.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.
Curiosity is the ultimate cheat code. It makes learning effortless and turns hard work into play. While others force focus, you’re pulled in naturally.
Start now and avoid regret.
Breakthroughs take time.
The path to regret.
Complaining costs time.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.
Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
Give it an honest try.

That time of the year.
When you sit down to work (but don't work)
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
A worthwhile search.
Action.
Human nature.
Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
Plug and play.
Align your actions with the reputation you want—and use the internet to scale it.
Life.
A great product is essential, but great marketing is optional.
Why do people leave their well-paid jobs for funky side hustles?
One of the things I enjoy most about being self-employed is the freedom to bounce around, act on my ideas, and not get stuck in bureaucracy.
Do it before doubt destroys it.
What could be that regret?
Start now. It’s not too late.
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
Don't enjoy the corporate world? Become one.
Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
Start with what you have.
2 options
"I'm listening."
Earn your tools.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
Nike is right.
Slice and start.
Want change? Take action.
Most projects be like this.
Keep going.
Honest project plan.
Sign of a good project.
All good things, but one is the real needle mover.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
Luck requires preparation.
Be aware if you have too many answers.
How most full-time creatives start.
Find your people, one way or another.
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.
In the short term, chasing curiosity might not always make sense – no clear payoff, and you might even look silly. But keep going – it’ll take longer than you think, but it’s worth it.
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.
Good products bridge gaps.
Work towards your dream job.
Small things can have immense value.
A lot of problems disappear once you stop imagining them.
It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Without naivety, I wouldn’t have built this creative online business.
Is there a better way?
