Bolt on one screen changing my landing page. Cursor on the other building my app. Whilst one works, I prepare the other. This is what peak performance looks like.

What are some cheaper Fathom Analytics alternatives?

Crazy few weeks. Radio silence… but for all the right reasons. Storming ahead toward VidBounty’s March launch! ✅ 100+ creators onboarded ✅ First 3 campaigns in the works ✅ Buzzing for what’s next Businesses → More chances to go viral. Creators → More ways to monetize. Big things coming.

The tech version of "Theres more than one way to skin a cat"... 👉 There's more than one way to center a div.

I didn't mean to build Skoolio, but hearing my 10yr old daughter's experiences at school & seeing how it knocked her confidence, gave her anxiety & dampened her creativity, I went to build something for her. Just by accident built something truly special.

What would you pay for 1 million short-form views for your product?

Have we hit AGI? I feel bad now.

I've been using Windsurf as my AI code editor. I don't see many conversations about it. Why are you using Cursor over Windsurf?

Put yourself out there. Don't be afraid to share. Try many things. When one works, double down. Go hard with extreme focus and make it a success. No excuses, whatever it takes.

I barely find time for creating content at the moment. 3 tasks keeping me busy: 👉 Product build to be ready by March 👉 Handling the inbound businesses wanting to host challenges 👉 Onboarding creators for the initial challenges I don't have MRR screenshots but it's a great position to be in!

Wake up, build, network, grow, repeat. Everything is constant flow state at the moment.

Anyone got a CapCut discount code?

The day the emojis rain down upon us. ✅🔥🚀👍

Before and After. The theme of today is simplify & focus. All my other projects don't matter, only one - VidBounty. Sustained dedication to one task can lead to exceptional outcomes. Great things take time, and time compounds into even greater things. I'm all in.

me building VidBounty at 5am to help creators monetise sooner and businesses find viral content.

Someone must have introduced emojis into ChatGPT. Like an excited child it can't stop using them.

5am club, rise and grind! Is what I would say if I enjoyed this. Note: Don't have cats or kids and you won't forced into 5am club membership 😴

I am so locked in to building right now I swallowed the keys and can't get out until I pass them. See you in a few days.

What's your top tips for setting up a pre-launch campaign? I'm thinking: Short-form video. Email drip campaigns. Short-form text (here).

This is what greets me every morning when I open Notion. A reminder of what I need to do. £500k would pay off my house and give me with plenty of runway to focus on projects full-time. + When you break it down this way, getting less customers at a higher price point seems less difficult.

What are you working on?

This morning's musings. 🚀 Making good progress 😬 VidBounty launch is close 📱 Start short-form video again (go where your customers are) 🐸 Do the big important task first 🥵 Put yourself in uncomfortable situations, won't feel great at the time, will when you stack those learned lessons
