I cannot put my adventures in my resume.

Resume was an invention of davinci and we are using it even after centuries.

When are we going to get upgraded to the AI world?

Having your personal website is like having a phone number and email address, and comes with so much of perks.

You can talk about you in a very detailed way, share your adventures, learnings, build connections.

A personal website can help you get traffic and connections even after few years of not doing anything at all.

I still read blog posts that were created in 2017 or beyond, all because of their personal blog. The post was made years ago and still gets traffic.

If you don’t have it, you don’t stand out from the rest of the crowd.

Personal website with blog posts is a ticket to the future.

I was totally inactive today on X.

I just took rest, because it's been few days, I didn't sleep well or had a day for myself or family.

I see taking a kind of day of helps refresh our minds and refocus on things.

I just had few calls today with @PDanese @Maxvdvloet and I am just happy the way the conversation went.

It was much needed to have this relaxing day and talk to some good people to keep my mind really healthy.

Work will always be there, X grinding will always be there, but you sometimes have to take some time off and relax a bit.

Nice! Reddit being Reddit. https://t.co/e9hu6urmHC

Any apps that I use for more than 10 minutes, just scrolling without engaging or nothing to take action.

I uninstall them. If needed I’ll install later.

You should try this too and see how much time you can save.

You would install back only of there’s value, else you wouldn’t.

A personal website doesn’t need to be flashy to be impactful.

@paulg’s website is one of the excellent example that focuses on simplicity in design and yet helped a lot great minds.

If you are building a website, don’t try to showcase your fancy UI skills, unless that’s what you really want to showcase.

The key takeaway is your website should align with your purpose, for most part, showcasing their depth of knowledge and expertise than dazzling visuals.

Great content can remain relevant for years to come, brings traffic and establishes long-term authority.

Keep it minimal on design, show your depth of knowledge through words.

When you get into deep flow state, you become unstoppable.

I woke up at 4AM, worked straight for 7 hours straight.

No breakfast, just couple of glasses of water and a glass a milk.

In between I had this thought, "I should call them, and tell them, I can't do it, you guys find someone else to do the job."

I realized, I have started, so I have to go all the way in completing things. Else, all the effort would feel like it went in vain.

It’s all fine.

I have learnt the ways to get back up each time I fall.

And most importantly, I don’t want to beat the algo anymore.

All that I have to do is connect with real people.

I have 4 calls with good people scheduled already for this week.

That’s all that matters. Connections and networking.

Morning guys, It's Monday and I woke up at 4am.

Looks like I joined the 4am club today, hopefully it's just for today. I'm a night owl.

The whole weekend became a family time, and traveling to meet relatives.

Which was much needed break from sleepless nights and non-stop hustling.

But, back to home, back to senses that I have to finish my client's work.

I have to finish some stuff before my client wakes up.

Else, I would get a look, "You still haven't completed it?"

I have to close this project very soon, so I can get paid.

The faster one delivers the project, the faster they get paid.

Oh man, .io domains are going? What will be the alternative for my http://praveen.io then?

I decided that I would work on @Mevin_AI for the next few years, no product hopping.

Soon after I did, I got 2 corporate customers who signed up for 2 years straight.

That's a validation that people look for long term commitment in the product.

But here's the twist:

These B2B clients pushed us in unexpected ways.

I thought they'd slow our B2C dreams. I was wrong.

Their demands were relentless.

"Add this feature!" "Change that design!"

"Can you make this button blue?"

It was overwhelming... until I saw the bigger picture.

Each "annoying" request?

A goldmine of user insights we'd never have discovered.

We built features that solved real, complex problems.

The unexpected benefit?

We now have so many features built for our real customers.

No random feature in the name of "future customers might like this".

Mevin now has translations, media uploads, and soon it will have dynamic forms, and private pages/resources for subscribed users.

Starting with B2B not just validated the product,

It made Mevin much better than I could have imagined.

If you haven't got your first customer yet, force yourself to get a B2B.

If you've already got your first customer, keep them close.

They are the best teachers and they will make your product better than you can imagine.

If you want access to the product, just comment "Mevin" and I will get back to you.
