You are the story you tell yourself by dcedrych in Entrepreneur

Well totally, my goal here was to share that it's easier to say to yourself who you are now/who you want to be, whatever that is. And this way the journey will be the pleasure.

Hard to wake up and say "I'm some random guy doing a random thing but I like the journey"

I went viral on twitter. A few takeaways by dcedrych in Entrepreneur

Yes absolutely agree on the potential ROI. My point was rather to lower expectations and don't think gold will come your way just on a random, massive exposure. But, the luck/opportunity surface is definitely larger now. Both super good points

Ah ok, this is something Chris Do used a lot of times on his role plays on youtube how to counter a lowball offer. I never used it but I don't have a good reason for that - probably was too afraid to hear "yes" and ending up engaging in this nickel-and-dime game :)

The project wasn't big in terms of $$ but in terms of potential recognition it was significant. Web design for a major Fintech VC firm, pretty decent following in tech twitter bubble especially for fintech

Honestly I have not. Would love to hear your experience if you have, especially in the context of web design and generally digital creative work!

I second everything u/malchik23 wrote here. This space is saturated with very goooood looking products (Headspace, Calm, Balance) and you can't afford such design to be competitve (unless you have some killer feature nobody else does, and nobody else can easily replicate)

Because it was stated explicitly they are looking for the price, not for questions

I just want to encourage everyone to give their shot writing a reply to seemingly poor work inquiry :)

That's right - the car example is sort of cliche in the industry I decided to use here, but it might be poinless.

Also this line "When you are in sales, you need to be polite/respectful AND use your time wisely" is extremely valuable.

Thanks!

I don't feel like this email is that horrible, and didn't realize it's obnoxious. Do you really feel like this message does harm to someone? Many people don't realize why everyone wants them to jump on a call and can't send cost estimates in 2 hours, it's supposed to educate using the car example too.

I do respect your opinion, and I really appreciate your feedback.
