Just had a long weekend over here, celebrating Orthodox Easter (happy Easter to my orthodox buds 🐰) and I had some time to reflect.

I figured out that the things I'm doing right now don't bring me any particular joy. If I'm being honest, it's the opposite. I've been cold DMing and cold emailing SaaS founders, trying to get leads. Posting on LinkedIn regularly, not because it was fun, but forcing it. Over-relying on AI to help me write those posts. And I got sick and disgusted with it at some point. But I kept doing it, because that's what you're supposed to do to succeed today, right?

No.

You're supposed to enjoy yourself. I've always been a builder. I always enjoyed doing things, designing things, even before getting paid to do it.

So I'm going back to that. I'm going to enjoy myself for the next 6 months and build as many things as I can. If something sticks, I'll double down. If not, I'll start looking for a job. Because we need the money, right?

I'll be sharing my journey here, because it's actually fun to post your biggest mistakes and successes.

And finally, a thought I had over the long weekend. In 15 years my sons will ask me what I built in the beginning of the AI age, when everyone was experimenting. I don't want to have a blank answer.

P.S. I don't think AI will build a multi-million dollar MRR SaaS for me in a weekend. I just want to have fun, build stuff I couldn't build before, and break things along the way.

P.S.S. If you're wondering what happens with Omniflow, I'm not focusing on it anymore. I'll close out remaining client work by the end of the month and move on. It was fun at times. I learned a lot. But I can't say I enjoyed it as much as I thought I would.
