Hey! I'm Janis Ozolins, the creator behind all this. Here's my about page.
Breakthroughs take time.
Why do people leave their well-paid jobs for funky side hustles?
A day in the life of most people.
Without naivety, I wouldn’t have built this creative online business.
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
Life.
Get more attention by opening up.
A great product is essential, but great marketing is optional.
"I'm listening."
Give it an honest try.
It makes no sense that we don’t do them.
Move the ball forward every single day – no matter how small.
Keep going.
Good products bridge gaps.
Be aware if you have too many answers.
Both feel good in the short term, but only one will feel good in the long term.
“There are some people who naturally uplift our energy - the trick is finding them.” – Ali Abdaal
Is there a better way?
Start now and avoid regret.
Slice and start.
Start now. It’s not too late.
Procrastination that feels like “work”.
Small things can have immense value.
That time of the year.
Sign of a good project.
Find your people, one way or another.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
The tipping point for growth.
Want change? Take action.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
You've got this.
Do it before doubt destroys it.

Action.
Luck requires preparation.
Promise less, deliver more.
How most full-time creatives start.
Deliver. Overdeliver. Never underdeliver.

The path to regret.
Love has more patience, so pursue projects that excite you.
Ship and iterate.
More tasks. More switching. More lost time.
Notification came, and the focus went.

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.
No discomfort? No breakthoguhs.
Work towards your dream job.

Don't enjoy the corporate world? Become one.
To-do lists require work, they don’t do the work.
Honest project plan.
Obsession is your ultimate advantage.
Start with what you have.
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.
Nike is right.
Plug and play.
All good things, but one is the real needle mover.

A worthwhile search.
Most projects be like this.
Earn your tools.
Human nature.
Consistent trying can change your mind.
Drop something. Say no. Or burnout.
Try and expect that you'll need to try some more.
It creates momentum and keeps the flame alive for your dream.
