Your Path to Consistency!

Hello Reader It's been a while since my last newsletter, and there's a good reason for it. The past three months have been a journey of self-discovery and realignment. I've been diving deep into exploring long-term goals and brainstorming how I can make the most significant impact on you, my audience. Along the way, my copywriter, Faiz, and I amicably went our separate ways. This change was mainly to reduce the operation cost and pressure on monetizing my content. I am grateful for Faiz's contribution and for leading my content strategy. I have learned a lot from him. My focus right now is not on earning but on giving back – helping everyone and crafting courses, coaching, and content that can genuinely transform lives. Now, I want to share a simple yet powerful idea with you: building consistency - a crucial skill for achieving any goal. My 7 days of running challenge I recently accomplished a 7-day running challenge, which was tough considering I hate running. Yet, I did it! Now, I'm aiming for 21 days, then 51, and gradually to 101 days. It's all about taking small, steady steps. I did the same with my writing. In 2021, I joined a 30-day writing challenge with the Ship 30 for 30 and gradually increased it to 101 days. Now, after 1000+ days, missing a day seems unimaginable. Key to consistency? Don't miss twice We all have days when we can't stick to our plans. That's okay. If you miss a day, it's no big deal. Just make sure you're back at it the next day. The key is that you don’t miss twice. The real skill is learning how to pick yourself back up when you fall out of cadence. Getting back on track quickly is what really counts. Sharing your progress with someone or on social media can also help your consistency. Keeping up that streak is incredibly motivating. You can apply this to your developer journey. You can use this technique in learning, building projects, work, and professional development. Start with a small goal, achieve it, and then stretch a bit further. Little by little, you'll see massive growth. Here are a few ideas:
Remember, the small, consistent steps lead to significant achievements. So, what small step will you take today? Looking forward to hearing about your 'small steps' and big wins! |

Hello Reader, Our beta launch for Sucana failed. And the feedback was brutal. Beta users said, the application is, Slow Clunky Cumbersome Now imagine this: weeks of late nights, coding until 4 AM, finally hitting “launch”… and the first thing you hear from users is exactly that. It stings. Then my cofounders Victor & Virgil called me and said, “Let’s flip it all around.” And I’m sitting here thinking, I pulled late nights. Wrote endless code. You can’t just flip it upside down. You see,...
Hello Reader, Quarter 4 is here. For most of my career, I set yearly goals… and then forgot them by February. Everything felt too big, too far away, and too overwhelming. That changed in 2022 when I discovered quarterly planning. Here’s why it works: Big vision → 5-year direction Focus → one or two projects per quarter Execution → daily actions, weekly reviews, and a scorecard It’s a system that has helped me clarify my direction, build my startup part-time, stay consistent with content, and...
