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