October 2022: Building ClickUp micro-products
This year was a roller coaster ride.
Sharing 10 lessons I've learned this year 🧵
1. Real face
People showed me their real side when my back was against the wall.
I got to know whom to trust and whom to not.

2. Existence of builder
I knew there was a builder in me, but I didn't know how to use it to make $$$.
Building micro-products gave me a good start.

3. Distribution is king
Build your distribution first, then build whatever you want.
You can build both together too, but if you build a product before building distribution, it is going to be challenging for you.

5. Join communities
Communities have helped me a lot to learn and build myself into a newer and better version.

6. Learn virtually
You can't talk to everyone and learn from them. It is better to learn virtually from them through their content.

7. Plan things
I agree the world is filled with randomness, but it is always good to plan things to avoid last-minute rush.

8. No straight path
You have to know that your career won't go as planned, but you'll land a place better than expected.
Keep working hard!

9. Standing still
You'll receive hate, taunts, and things won't go as planned, but the only option is to stand still and face whatever lies ahead.

10. Procrastination is easy
It is easy to say later, but that never helps. If something can be done today, do it today, even if you have to sacrifice your sleep for it.
