Happy to announce that my prototype directory project has been acquired!
This was after I pitched it at the nocodesale.com this week. 9 buyers showed interest, but 1 stood out as a good fit.
Thanks for organising the event 👏

Been organising and tidying up lists today on

Submissions
Sponsors
Think I will be sending some emails soon ✉️
I've now enabled the new Purchasing Price Parity feature on
I was attempting to offer this before, but it's great to see the platform handles it now.

I didn't send my personal newsletter in January 😬
I could be hard on myself, but I know I've had a full plate. I would have rushed it if I'd tried.
On the up side, I now have more updates for the next one 😅
Going out soon - get on the list here

Thought for the day
Darwin is known for the ‘survival of the fittest’ idea, yet he didn't write it
He actually argued that empathy and cooperation were what made human communities more successful ☺️

I’ve had so much good feedback from my Design Fundamentals content for cohorts, in the last year:
“Thanks for an epic learning path!”
“It was incredible!!”
“It was awesome!!”
“Thanks for this guide 🙏”

Love this proverb. Such truth.

2. It takes one lion to make money. It takes two to keep it.
A Lebanese proverb my parents often shared. It’s not about being rich but being wise.
You need 2x wisdom to keep and grow your finances. A wise spouse, co-founder, and/or financial advisor can be your second lion.

A bunch of people are going to disagree with this, but...
Building in public is a trap.
1. Building in public does more harm than good for MOST entrepreneurs.
2. It's only valuable if your target audience is other BUILDERS.

This is the same for creators and makers too (except less of the money part)

The biggest cause of failure for entrepreneurs
Not realising 
Results are a lagging indicator of success.
The work is front-loaded. Rewards come later. If they come at all.
Every venture needs:
- Money
- Time
- Uncertainty
- Repeat
It's delayed gratification on steroids.

No-Code can be an idea-building superpower 💪
I love building experiments with it
However, running, marketing & growing those projects is not my main interest
Yet some people prefer that to starting & building ideas
So I'm selling a build today at the No-Code Garage Sale 🔥
