What is stopping you from pivoting to your passion?

Reflections offer wisdom.

Looking back at my shortlived 3 months SEO journey, I realized:

I built a 10k user community from scratch

Launched a forum in just 3 months.

All in my early career, without formal CS education.

Taking risks opened unexpected doors.

Reflect on your journey, you'll find motivation in your growth.

I wrote my detailed story on my beehive, link in bio.

Tesla got the AC motor design when he had a crazy headache and he could see the inner workings of the AC motor in front of his eyes. https://t.co/68g0eOA8km

Drop ideas, not hop!

Validate before you start. https://t.co/QL1S1UoUNK

This is how you get your first job!

Embrace the unknown.

Apply even when underqualified.

Show enthusiasm to learn.

Research basics before interviews.

Confidence can outweigh experience.

Here's my story. https://t.co/CnudUIjMzb

How did you get your first job?

My first job was junior SEO expert, 13 years ago.

I applied for this interview, not knowing anything at all.

I just read few lines on wikipedia and went to interview.

I did not shy away because I did not meet the requirements.

I blew the hiring manager's mind,

and got the job right away.

Never shy away because you don't know something.

Show eagerness to learn kickstarted my career.

(I call this first, because this is where my career started to shape in, I have taken more part-time irrelevant jobs that I don't count.)

(Ep: 1)

I finally decided to share my journey.

I was sharing my learnings here on X,

and many were asking me to share my story and learnings.

I used to say "Yes", but,

I held onto a thought that it wasn't anything special or unique.

Thanks to @mattsimass for making me reflect and realize the special nature in my story.

Going further, I will be talking more about:

How I became a CTO of a startup,

from being a self-taught programmer.

How I used lucid dream to accelerate learning,

and launched a community of 10k+ users 13 years ago.

How I am consistently being a Indie hacking for 13+ years.

I will also be talking about my current state and future plans.

I hope to keep it enjoyable and insightful.

(2011, That's me on the picture that's when my career started, I just jumped from a very high, just for fun.)

Been a risk taker my whole life.

Never stopped taking risks, and will never stop.

You are either “busy” wasting time scattered or you are “focused” and getting things done. https://t.co/SUfK1aht95

If you are not risking now, you are going to regret it 10 years down the line, just like me.

Instead of regretting, reflect now.

There’s still time, it’s still not now or never.

It’s the question of when are you starting. https://t.co/QdsHBMOoqA
