Hi John, I have a lowcode plugin in Figma. (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1322547887505969963) It helps to turn a Figma design into a web app. What's your view on the future of these tools? Especially with the rise of AI, do you think our job is a little bit jeopardized?
Yeah, I used metrics/KPIs and made goals --> directions. "Get this ship bearing north!"
And then tried to push changes often, get results just as fast, and pivot as needed. And keep spinning as few plates as possible -- a narrower focus always outperformed a broad one for me -- being careful to shift my attention as needed. After a while I found a rhythm of hitting big important small things early each month, larger projects mid-month, and things like data review/bookkeeping/legal/tech debt/strategy that last week.
Thanks for the post! All the greatest successes to you!
Great post!
I’m curious about number 15. Why do you advise against B2C?
thx,
b2c is 100x riskier than b2b.
you either make a billion or nothing in most cases.
in b2b it's more realistic to grow your biz to 1M ARR and call it a success.
"11. Invest all your money into yourself and your friends.
I did some math; if I kept investing all my money into all my friends’ startups, I'd be worth $100M+ by now." How much is it now? :D
my holdco is around $120M
but most growth happened recently

you have shared grate information who want to start Build. i like number 9. Sell features, before building them. which is true
Great read - but one question: do you consider an app for investors a b2b or b2c
b2b
Great post, thank you for sharing John!
Interesting notes! Thanks for sharing them.
So much resonates here! What did you adopt instead of scrum?
tiny teams(1-2 person) working towards the goal (next release).
