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