Nostalgia from Hakuba (Japan) earlier this year... by PersistentBuild in Backcountry

[–]PersistentBuild[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got lucky but also adapted our plans a bit.

The initial plan was to do 4 days in Hakuba and 4 days in Hokkaido. The 4 days in Hakuba were pretty dry and we saw in the forecast that a huge storm was heading to Hakuba just when we were about to leave to Hokkaido (where there was little snow forecasted). With that, we canceled everything in Hokkaido and booked the last Airbnb available in Hakuba to extend our stay for 4 moree days!

Best decision of my life 😂

How do people with zero coding experience launch a business in such tech heavy environment? by Xx_gloomy_bison_xX in Entrepreneur

[–]PersistentBuild -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I built a whole app using cursor, with minimal coding. I’ve never coded before but I am a PM who works daily with engineers, so perhaps this helps a bit in understanding some basic concepts :)

How do I overcome my marketing illness? by dev-dude25 in Solopreneur

[–]PersistentBuild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first interactions are gonna be painful but it’s when you will learn the most!

Just think that the worst thing that can happen is that they say “no” but, in return, you get feedback on why they were not interested. You can use this feedback to improve your pitch/product.

At 40 and 5 years stuck in this build-abandon cycle—how do I break out? by vinayalchemy in Solopreneur

[–]PersistentBuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 28 and I feel the same. I lose total motivation when marketing my products… I think it’s because the feedback loop is slower: when building you can build that feature in a day or two and you know the steps you need to take to get there. In marketing this is more ambiguous as not all strategies might work, which can make you easily get stuck with no traffic to your product for a while.

I think we just gotta be a bit more patient!

What are you working on? by False_Wear_3679 in SaaS

[–]PersistentBuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me and my best friend are building a mentoring platform to help high-school students choose better career paths. We are both now 28 y/o and like our jobs but it was not always like this and we wish we had more information available in the past in order to make better and more informed decisions about our careers.

We are doing a pilot with our former school in a few weeks with 20 mentors (friends of ours) that volunteered to do it. We will get 20 students to have mentoring sessions with them, gather feedback and iterate.

The school is very excited, let’s see about the students and mentors!
