Hey! I'm Janis Ozolins, the creator behind all this. Here's my about page.
Keep going.
Give it an honest try.
You've got this.
Why do people leave their well-paid jobs for funky side hustles?
A great product is essential, but great marketing is optional.
Action.
The path to regret.
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
Life.
The tipping point for growth.
Complaining costs time.
Small things can have immense value.
Work towards your dream job.
How most full-time creatives start.
Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
Procrastination that feels like “work”.
Sign of a good project.
Nike is right.
Good products bridge gaps.
Without naivety, I wouldn’t have built this creative online business.
Notification came, and the focus went.
“There are some people who naturally uplift our energy - the trick is finding them.” – Ali Abdaal
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
Most projects be like this.
Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
Start now. It’s not too late.
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 with what you have.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.
Be aware if you have too many answers.
Ship and iterate.
"I'm listening."
Don't enjoy the corporate world? Become one.
Want change? Take action.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
All good things, but one is the real needle mover.
Find your people, one way or another.
Plug and play.
It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Align your actions with the reputation you want—and use the internet to scale it.
A worthwhile search.
A day in the life of most people.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
A lot of problems disappear once you stop imagining them.
Slice and start.
Start now and avoid regret.
Earn your tools.
When you sit down to work (but don't work)
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.
Promise less, deliver more.
Do it before doubt destroys it.
Human nature.
That time of the year.
;)
What could be that regret?
2 options
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.
Honest project plan.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
Luck requires preparation.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
Breakthroughs take time.
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.
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.
Get more attention by opening up.
Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.
Is there a better way?
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
