Let me be clear about something first.
When I say I’ll never quit, I don’t mean I’ll never quit a project.
I quit projects all the time.
What I’ll never quit is my $1M journey.
And I’ll never quit my goal of building a lifestyle business, having a bunch of small products that together make $10k/month, while working 2-4 hours a day and actually enjoying my life.
That’s the thing I’m locked in on.
Projects Can Fail, But The Mission Goes On
Right now, I’m building SaaS apps. The goal is to launch several in 2026.
Some will work. Most won’t. And that’s fine.
If a product doesn’t make money, I don’t see it as a failure. I see it as:
learning something I didn’t know before
proof that I tried
proof that I shipped something
The only real failure would be stopping.
My approach is simple: Build → launch → see what happens → adjust.
If it works - aka it makes money - I push forward.
If it doesn’t, I move on.
I’m not emotionally attached to one app.
I’m committed to the long-term game.
I’ve Already Played This Game Before
This isn’t motivation talk. I’ve done this exact thing before, multiple times.
SaaS
I’ve built a lot of products.
Most went nowhere, but one was successful.
That one project made $100k+ in revenue.
In 2026, I’m doing it again.
I already started:
Bclips.ai - shipped ✅
SocialRevenue.io - coming soon ™️
Will both work? Probably not.
Will one work eventually? I’m confident that it will.
If not, I’ll continue to ship new ideas until one does.
Because I’m not stopping.
YouTube
YouTube was the same story.
For a long time, nobody cared, but I kept posting videos.
Low views. No traction. No momentum.
Just uploading and hoping I wasn’t wasting my time.
Fast forward today: 170,000 subscribers.
Not from one video.
From showing up again and again, even when nothing happened… until something happened.
X (Twitter)
Same thing.
Most tweets flopped.
Some were okay.
A few hit.
Over time, I got better without realizing it.
Result: 200,000 followers, after 80k posts.
Again, no secret hack or trick. Just putting in the reps.
This Pattern Shows Up Everywhere
If you look closely, this is how most real success stories look.
Take indie hackers like Pieter Levels, Marc Lou, and Tibo.
They shipped a lot.
They missed a lot.
They kept going when others would have stopped.
That’s the whole game. And I’m playing this game too.
The Mindset That Changes Everything
Here’s the biggest shift that helped me:
“There’s no such thing as a goal that’s too big.
Only a timeline that’s too short.”
Most people don’t fail because they can’t do it.
They fail because they expect results way too fast.
When you zoom out, you stop asking: “Why isn’t this working?”
And start asking: “What’s my next move?”
That mindset alone removes most anxiety.
Why I Know I’ll Get There
I know exactly what I’m aiming for.
Not just money, but freedom. Time.
Control over my days.
I’m okay with things taking longer than expected.
I’m okay with trying more than once.
I’m okay with looking stupid while learning.
Most people aren’t.
That’s the difference.
Once you truly commit long-term, obstacles stop feeling like walls.
They’re just speed bumps.
Final Thought
Nothing worth building is easy.
If it were easy, everyone would do it.
And if everyone does it, it’s not as valuable.
If you’re willing to:
think in years, not weeks
treat losses as lessons
stay in the game longer than most people
You don’t need luck. You just need time.
And we have plenty of that. ☺️
Good luck using it wisely!
