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