Hey #buildinpublic

just came across Kevon Cheung's case study about his build in public journey.

I learned a ton reading it.

Totally worth your time.

I will never get wealthy by selling my time.

Neither will you.

This is why I am building my own business.

And you should, too

Don't fall victim to information paralysis.

There is always more to learn.

It’s not about reading countless books.

Learning can be a reason to stay busy while avoiding being productive.

Be a smart learner instead of a classic one

"Since AI is apparently taking our jobs, if you weren’t a dev what would you be?"

Copy writer. No, wait...

Philosopher. No, wait...

Doctor. No, wait...

Artist, then? Oh, come on.

Ehm... Taxi. Driver? Ah, f#ck.

I guess, I'll become a construction worker, then.

What do you mean, 3D printing...

I always thought finding a business idea was hard.

I read many books about brainstorming, etc.

Eventually, I distilled my findings into this simple 7-step process.

Gaining knowledge is an excuse

It's comfortable to keep learning. Feels productive, right?

I mean after all, we're acquiring knowledge? What's wrong with that?

But deep down we know that excessive learning is an excuse—to not face the risk of failure that comes with doing.
