8 months ago: 0 products, afraid to ship
today: 2 live products while still working my 9/5
you don't need to quit your job to build
👉 you need to stop overthinking and start shipping
I want to break out of my 1k jail
only thing is, i need some guidance and incentive
i hope @robj3d3's course will give me that
but the downside for waiting on that, is that i am currently in a crazy limbo where i just don't know what to do
inspiration for posts is at an all time low, i just cant explain why
my brain doesnt add up sometimes
So i am taking a little break!
I have a never ending list of ideas
some bad, some good, some i dont know
i have always left them aside, since i dont want to get shiny object syndrome
but now with ai, every day i wonder if i should just put them in claude and build them
Anyone else with such a huge list?

If had to choose one piece of advice that i could only remember, it would 100% be being optimistic
Being delusionally optimistic is such an advantage, because where everyone tells you how stuff wont work or can go wrong;
You can either prove them wrong OR learn so many valueble lessons if you just stick with it
And the best of all, while you were doing it, you were having fun and were optimistic!
Its literally a cheatcode
Thanks @marclou for the inspiration (again)
I made $217,071 in September 2026.

The HYROX experiment hyrox.marclou.com inflates this month's revenue, but it's the best month ever for my marketplace TrustMRR.com ($53K) and my SaaS DataFa.st ($31K).
I do everything solo, and I'm not going to lie, I'm fucking proud of myself.
Since I was a kid, I've been told to focus on one thing. I find that boring. I want to play and try a bunch of things.
I never felt confident because nothing really worked out for 7 years. I ended up being average at everything: coding, marketing, design...
But building 37 startups (marclou.com) taught me something far more important: resilience, discipline, and optimism.
Over the past decade, those skills have compounded. I now run a tiny portfolio of startups making $1M+/year, sleep 8 hours a night, work out 2 hours a day, and spend plenty of time with my wife.
Anything is possible if you're hungry.
Believe in yourself.

You don't need 100 customers to prove your product works 👇
we have exactly 1
But search has a known benchmark: a normal search bar result gets clicked around 40% of the time
after 18 months of building EasyFinder, our first store is at 85% (!)
only ~100 searches, so it's early but i does give us good signals!
only way is up! Lets goooo 👀

18 months into working every evening, every free hour in my weekend, and this is what it got me till now:
- I have been stressed out more, bc of the lack of sleep
- I built around 5 products, 1 i am really betting on, although it is a long take
- I made about 1k in total across all of them
- I have never felt more motivated, because i am ACTUALLY working on my future
- I found out my ADHD plays a very big role in my life which i didnt know before
I would do it again 💯
the difference is that after 18 months i finally have a clearer image of where to go, and that is worth more to me than the 1k!

I made a tool that allows customers to create their own filters 👀
with JEV this is the first time it actually feels instant
> type "for the winter" and it classifies every product on the fly, based on the product information
with EasyFinder we've been chasing intent-based search for 18 months, so this is actually really cool!
still an experiment, but having a few other ideas on JEV for i will share soon
Let me know what you think! 👇 should i make a demo?
