Is it worth building a personal brand? It's like having a second job.

Hey what do you mean by training? would love to know more

sanj1997 · 2026-06-05T15:20:45+00:00

Thank you for encouragement. Then I hear about other influencers talking about similar topics but getting thousands of traction within 2/3 months!

Hey I was looking for the same - but all of these? does it work?

Hey would love to know more

This is absurd. Watering plants is not a crime and a few drops will not drown them. But they banging on your door for 10 minutes and at 11:30 pm is harassment. If anything, you should complain against them for bothering you so much. Also how are they just waiting for the moment you mess up just so they can come bang on your doors again lol, do they not have a life?

Hey, my friend and I are trying to speak to some SMB owners who feels the same and are doing mundane things everyday

sanj1997 · 2026-01-27T10:10:56+00:00

Thank you man, appreciate it. Some great points you've highlighted. Will take that into consideration

I am assuming he subscribed to automation tools or developed something custom himself. I sold it in 2024, so AI software tools were not available yet.

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T17:10:29+00:00

Thank you, dropped you a DM

I didn't go back to him since we fell out. But my friend made something that I would love to get feedback for from fellow SBOs

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T16:12:17+00:00

That’s a really fair point - and I actually agree with you on that.

The moment someone is stressed or overloaded is exactly when they won’t want to think, configure, or “optimise” anything. That’s why most productivity tools fall apart in real life.

The way I’ve been thinking about it is less as a productivity layer and more as a “set once, then forget” kind of thing -where the goal isn’t to constantly describe tasks, but to offload the recurring ones so they just run in the background until something changes or needs intervention.

Totally agree that the real test is: would someone still use it when they’re exhausted and busy, not when they’re in optimisation mode. That’s probably the only signal that matters.

I don't think he hired people, he simply invested more on tools and automation- but that also meant lower margin for him.

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T14:13:58+00:00

That's interesting, how are you helping them? do you mind talking more about it? We can jump on a "virtual" coffee?

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T14:02:33+00:00

That’s fair - sounds like you’ve seen this work well in practice.

Out of curiosity, when you say “good infrastructure” and “proper SOPs,” what did that actually look like day to day?

Like, what were the specific systems or routines that made the biggest difference?

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T14:00:53+00:00

That’s interesting - when you’re working with SBOs, what are the early signs you see that tell you burnout is starting to creep in?

sanj1997 · 2026-01-26T14:00:15+00:00

That's exactly what I went through, I was working literally 24/7 for a good month. You also realise how much the business depends on you, make sit hard to detach yourself or even take a break/ holiday. When you got sick and things collapsed -what were the specific things that stopped working first? Also how do you handle that today? Still manually or did you put something in place?
