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

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.
Notification came, and the focus went.
The world moves on. Ignorance leaves you behind.
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.
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.
Want change? Take action.
Doing is overestimated. Quitting is underestimated.
Complaining costs time.
Slice and start.
Show up, every damn day, no matter how small.
A great product is essential, but great marketing is optional.
