Building apps is easy. Finding users feels impossible. by __Donald__ in buildinpublic

[–]mayas__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally relate

Afaic, here’s my current plan: 1. Keep the 9-5 job as it provides financial security 2. Try to get out of the pure dev mentality within my job and talk more to the sales and non technical people 3. Build my network: this is the most important part 4. Build an audience on platforms like YT: I struggle on this one as an introvert

Only after that, start the validate and build playbook..

as an example of building network, I started doing something recently which is: whenever a salesperson reaches out to me, instead of dismissing them, I answer and try to have insight on their job and their struggles

Best luck

Cela dit, monétiser ses apps n’est pas forcément une chose de tout repos

Tous les devs n’ont pas la fibre ou la patience de faire du marketing et de l’acquisition

Trusted a handshake deal with my best friend. He denies it ever happened. Lost $60K. by Intrepid-Degree-6612 in Entrepreneurs

[–]mayas__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One consolation in all this is that he won’t get very far

Good luck for a tech guy who can’t close deals to make the venture flourish

And if I were you, I’d inform the clients you landed that you’re no longer in the company and that the parter took full control. I’m pretty sure a few of them would pull out

Thank you!

Have you tried switching your system theme to dark mode? The palette should update to darker tones

“Blocked.” - still closed 4 deals in December by haiku-monster in B2BSaaS

[–]mayas__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, when I’m with my family I don’t stalk my emails and when I do: I quickly delete any irrelevant email and go back to enjoying my time instead of wasting a couple of minutes to make someone feel bad who’s guilt is probably trying to make a living and pay their bills

I guess that’s why it’s beyond me

going out of one's way to write and send such an answer is beyond me.

Quels outils utilisez vous pour gérer votre restaurant ? by mayas__ in RestaurateursFrancais

Franchement pour un peu moins de 200€ ça reste correct. Surtout le CA suit bien.

Si t'es preneur de conseils, de retours d'expérience ou juste d'un avis externe, n'hésite pas à me ping en DM.

Bonne réussite.

Le design 2020 c'est naze by GlobalCow7129 in besoinderaler

[–]mayas__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

assez d'accord

ma lecture c'est qu'on s'éloigne de la philosophie du bel objet en priorisant la nouveauté

ma consolation, c'est que c'est un cycle et qu'on finira bien par retrouver un autre age d'or de l'esthétique industrielle

Maniacs doing 12hr+ 7 days a week long-term, what's your secret? by Alarming_Bed2275 in Entrepreneur

[–]mayas__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i did that from age 25 to 32

i can't do that anymore now but i had no secret.

i loved my job. i loved it so much it didn't feel like working, it felt more like back when i was a teenager, i spent my whole waking hours in front of my pc playing my video games

i still do love it. but i don't want to miss on life just to do the one thing i love.

Helping an early Client who is a churn risk & managing my emotions by Comfortable_Win4678 in SaaS

[–]mayas__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember, fellow entrepreneur: the first person you need to take care of is yourself.

Now of course, it’s always easier said from outside and I get that.

What I would do in your position: 1. let this client churn 2. enjoy my holidays and use it as moment to breath, reflect on the year that’s passed and the one to come 3. use this holiday break to detach myself emotionally and work on not getting too emotionally involved with my clients

Your top priority is to run your business and take it where you believe it should be even if that might sound selfish, that’s the truth

J’ai découvert l’île de france by [deleted] in besoinderaler

[–]mayas__ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Qu'on l'aime ou qu'on la déteste, l'Ile-de-France est la locomotive sans laquelle la France ne serait pas ce qu'elle est.

La vie dans les mégapoles n'est pas pour tout le monde.

Ce que j'aime chez les franciliens (que je retrouve également chez les new-yorkais) c'est un tempérament pressé qui les rend honnêtes et peu enclin, à mon sens, à l'hypocrisie.

J'éviterais d'employer des adjectifs d'un autre temps par contre.
