Exactly 1 year ago I vowed to stop working on B2C ideas And the revenue from my side projects increased 4x since then But I didn't launch any B2B product I just doubled down on what was working So I guess B2C or B2B doesn't really matter What matters is focus

You are not unemployable because you like freedom You are unemployable because you lack discipline and switch context way too often Which might work well for entrepreneurship But in general it works badly

I failed all my 2025 goals Wanted to get to $1k MRR, barely got to $200 Then I realized that I didn't need to find something new I just needed to double down on what was already working Now at $450 MRR and the $1k goal looks much closer now

I invested in the Russian market in 2021 I lost everyhting when tensions escalated It's the same with China now A little escalation and your broker will stop trading the assets And you lose all your money If you wanna diversify buy gold, silver, crypto
