🥳 TODAY I'm super excited to launch my first real world project. 😅 I quit my job at the end of 2020 and spent just over two months at a code bootcamp, (re)learning to code. And now I'm launching a product! Introducing Thread Creator 🎉 threadcreator.com

I learned a few lessons last week, after openly talking about my journey to become a solo founder. I had a couple hundred new followers and over 100k views on my tweets! Time for a short thread on what I learned 👇

Last week I left GitHub. Here's thread about why and my plans moving forward 👇
😅 Today is my last day at GitHub after four amazing years. It's definitely a bittersweet moment. I'm sad to be leaving such wonderful people but super excited to be pursuing my dreams. 🎉 Follow along for updates 👉 johnjoubert.com

Some light entertainment... a little meta during an actual pandemic but still a fun evening!

Just stop what you’re doing and enjoy listening to the #AvengersEndgame opening night crowd react to Captain America wielding Thor's hammer. CHILLS.

The original version of Basecamp has now made over a quarter of billion dollars in revenue. We launched it on this day in 2004, thought it might just be a great side-business. Turned out it did a bit better than that 😂❤️signalvnoise.com/archives/00…

The bar is not as high as you think. You can: - get that job - meet that person - start that company But because you think the bar's so high, you won't even try. Which is why the bar’s so low!

Persistence. I've been writing on thebootstrappedfounder.com every single week, and I publish a newsletter every Friday. Slowly, my audience grows every day. I write about what I learned and experiences running a $55k MRR SaaS business from idea to exit. People seem to like it.

Your first 100 customers will come through cold emails and warm intros. The next 1,000 will come from their referrals. You’ll reach 10,000 as your product slowly becomes the default for a use case. And 100,000 when it’s the default for a whole industry.

“You’re on a journey of your own making.” I like this.
Replying to @hanspagel
Nice article Hans, really good universal truths there 🚀 I especially agree with not comparing yourself to others. Take inspiration but recognise you are on a journey of your own making 👍
