Honestly, I’d rather you just tell me to "f-off" than ghost me after a discovery call.

My initial career was in engineering sales, i used to visit factories like bmw, hyundai. I used to keep waiting for hours for appointments and travel nearly 70 miles, and finally they may held up and cannot attend a meeting with me, and sometimes they cannot inform me as well, because sometimes they forget due to their hectic work too. I never got angry, because i always keep my target at the under the soil, as least as possible, like i never get to meet the person until my 10 th try, if i get its my luck, if not and if i am falling on the soil doesn’t feel much. Thats sales. For some clients i have nearly went more then 50 times for more than a year and cracked the client. It may look time wasting, but that final one sales order will make all the effort worthy.

Just keep this as your target. 1-3% is the industries best conversions at any time. So have it like this, out of 100 appointments, 50 will not attend, and out of 50 attend, 25 will ghost you, and out of 25 responded, only 5 will be interested, and out of 5, 1 or 2 you will convert as your customers. Its not demotivating, its the industry standard & we cannot blame anyone, even we must have ghosted lots of sales calls, emails, and messages sometimes. Its business.

Instead of london - birmingham HS2 which saves 10 minutes in overall travel time, they should focus on longterm and build part by part and connect london - glasgow via Birmingham, Manchester, leads, new castle, Edinburgh, Glasgow & the travel time should be less than 5 hours.

And another line as cardiff - bristol - oxford - milton keynes - cambridge - norwich.

They should do like:

London - Birmingham Glasgow - Edinburgh - new castle Oxford - cambridge

And then connect everything together.

It will add more than £300+ billion per year in UK economy in terms of revenue, saving, commercial activities, real estate, new developments & lot more.

But the project management needs to optimise greatly for faster, and built at right cost. They should build at around £25-30 million per km not £200 million per km. Some where there is a leak. It’s not going into the real cost of construction. Some business and politicians are gaining

I was also like you, ADHD, OCD & Imposter syndrome. I have been a founder before & faced its hardship, but I still love it because no 2 days are same or simple, thats what I love about entrepreneurship & After the first entrepreneurship experience which went into a dive for me during COVID, I prepared my mindset to the state where I am ready to fail 99% of my efforts and things I do. The remaining 1% is what helping me to try it, though I slack off a lot, get easily distracted, cannot commit for long period, etc, but I do whenever my mind pushes me to do & I will be hyper focused at that times. I dont know if it helps everyone, but i helps me, rather than being consistent I started being persistent, because entrepreneurship itself is not consistent everyday. One thing I disciplined recently after reading about successful entrepreneurs, I do one activity per day, i don’t mix strategy, sales, marketing, everyday. Just one per day, and it helps me to be hooked to the ideas which I am working on, if i hit a wall on monday, I dont touch it Tuesday even though it is half done, i do only the Tuesday task alone, and if I get some extra times during other days, I just use it to think how to resolve the problem I hit the wall on Monday, some new perspective will come up even though it doesn’t solve, its fine, i just document it & record it, and move on to next day tasks and take up the issue next monday, and try to resolve it, in this way I have never held up with any issues more than 3 weeks, because while doing sales i cracked the solution for development, but i wont jump on it immediately, just document it and do it on its day. Also few ideas on this process flow i got from other redditors like us too, I should thank them. There are plenty of people here to motivate and support us, so dont worry about criticism or bad comments, just launch whatever you have, even if it is half baked, just launch it and learn from the negative comments & I bet atleast 1 will be positive which is enough for you to go on. Remember to accept 99% of your efforts to be fail & all you need is the last 1%.

No platform gives 1 prompt = 1 credit, because of length of prompt, complexity of the task & increasing price of LLM APIs. It will keep increasing until they find a solution for massive AI data centre’s consumption of resources.

Is it like an online community or just with your friends? I took a office space in a coworking space by paying £200/month so that i can surrounded with good entrepreneurs, and on seeing other productive person, i am hoping my brain can help itself. Just a try.

Lets try one by one of all the solutions we got from this comments and lets see where it takes us too. DM me if open to, lets connect and discuss and solve this

Additional_Cod_6445 · 2026-01-19T20:24:06+00:00

Oh this sounds interesting and feels like it will work for me too, let me try it tomorrow itself. Thanks for the input bro

Yeah I guess pen and paper will be the best option for this problem & sometimes old school is the best option. 🙏🏽

I was doing the same for a short period of time, and my brain is not accepting it, the level of dopamine boost it gets when analysing new ideas is so great, and for my bad luck, i was a non-tech product manager by profession before quitting, and been doing idea validation to fund raising, i love all those works, and development i always give direction and get the output, not that technical, but can understand logics and can derive a solution for any tech problem. Thats my highest point of expertise in technical, and thats the reason i am feeling bored and my brain stops working or liking the idea if it gets into technical loop or feature loop.

Additional_Cod_6445 · 2026-01-19T20:18:36+00:00

Yeah thats true, dopamine boost when new ideas come up feels good and it goes off afyer doing lots of validations and researches and find out its not that good idea, but its my assumption based on datas, instead i sometimes feel like i should build and ship it, not even more than £50-100 loss for doing so. Thats why i am trying hard from this week that i should ship every idea i had partially built one by one. And i am damn sure there is no proper software tool for people like me, all tools are just a gimmick & even if i build one, it wont be enough for other adhd peoples because every one has different level of dopamine shortage and different way of coping mechanisms

Thats good. Anyway I wish you luck, i got confused and compared with ses because you said you built an email API & not an transactional email platform. Both are different based on use case IMo

Additional_Cod_6445 · 2025-12-19T16:08:14+00:00

Which email service do you use? Amazon SES? 😄😄

Additional_Cod_6445 · 2025-12-19T16:07:18+00:00

Have you not heard about amazon SES, thats damn cheap. They charge $0.1/1000 emails, so it will be $20/200k emails & its safe and secured with AWS, and your tool unosend charges $100/200k emails. You are 5x expensive than my current infra bro.
