1. When You Decide It’s Time
Every new year or birthday feels like the right moment to start fresh.
But sometimes, the best moment to start isn’t on a date —
it’s when you decide you’re ready.
That’s what happened to me.
This isn’t a random impulse or a sudden inspiration. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for years — something I’ve postponed over and over again.
Creating a personal brand, sharing what I know, and putting my thoughts out into the world is something I’ve always wanted to do. But I’ve spent most of my life building — companies, products, and teams — not talking about it.
Now it’s time to do both.
2. Why Now
I just came back from a month-long vacation with my wife for our 10-year anniversary — something I never thought I could do.
For years, I didn’t allow myself to take long breaks.
I believed that success meant always working harder, longer, and faster.
But after more than a decade of building, I finally realized that I can step away — and the companies will still run. That’s not because I stopped caring; it’s because I have an incredible team that continues to grow and push forward.
That realization changed everything.
It made me understand that this next chapter is not about working more. It’s about creating more impact.
3. Why I’m Starting This Space
I make money with my companies — I’m not doing this to sell anything here. Still, I know that sharing openly can naturally bring more attention to what we’re building — and I’m okay with that, because if it helps more people or businesses grow, then we all win.
I’m doing this because writing and sharing help me think clearer.
And if anything I say helps even one person — that’s impact.
Like the CEO of Spotify once said,
“A big part of the meaning of life is the impact you create.”
That line hit me deeply.
My goal, beyond growing my companies, is to help 1 million people live better lives.
If one thought, one story, or one lesson I share helps you in any way, then I’m already closer to that mission.
4. The 2aBillion Mindset
I’ve called this journey 2aBillion — not just because it’s a big goal, but because it represents dreaming big, even when it scares me.
It’s not about money. It’s about mindset — about creating something that has an impact so deep it can’t be measured in dollars.
I don’t even know if I want to reach a billion. But the idea of aiming that high pushes me to grow, to think bigger, and to live with purpose.
“To a billion” is not a destination. It’s a reminder to aim high, grow relentlessly, and enjoy the ride.
Naval Ravikant said something like:
“Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get what you want.”
That’s why, even as I chase ambitious goals, I remind myself: the real win is enjoying the journey — not waiting until the end to feel proud.
5. New Beginnings Are Hard — But Necessary
Every new chapter comes with pain.
The pain of learning.
The pain of doing something new.
The pain of not knowing how it’ll turn out.
The pain of starting.
But you know what’s even more painful?
Reaching the end of your life and realizing you never started — just because it was hard.
I’d rather fail while trying than regret not starting at all.
6. The Community I Want to Build
This space is for people who want to grow — in business and in life.
For entrepreneurs, creators, and thinkers who want to build something great, but also learn how to enjoy life while doing it.
Everybody wants a better life.
But not everyone is willing to do what it takes — to grow, to learn, to reflect, and to face themselves.
That’s the kind of community I want to create here. A space for honest reflections, shared lessons, and open conversations about what it really means to build — not just companies, but yourself.
7. What to Expect
I’ll be sharing one or two posts a week, mostly around these themes:
AI & Startups — News and the future of Ai. What I’m building at Finitless and the lessons behind it.
Entrepreneurship — clarity, leadership, systems, and building long-term.
Mindset & Growth — emotional intelligence, self-awareness, therapy, reflection.
Life Lessons — everything I’m learning about how to win life, not just earn money.
This won’t be perfect. I’ll make mistakes, I’ll change my mind, and I’ll learn as I go.
Please don’t expect excellence — expect honesty.
Because at every stage, I’ll simply be doing the best I can, in that particular moment.
8. My Reflection
One of my main reflections this year is that it’s not all about making money.
One of my favorite phrases lately has been:
“You can also win life.”
You can earn money, or you can win life.
And winning life — being present, fulfilled, and at peace — is even harder than it looks.
That’s what I’m chasing now.
Not just success, but peace.
Not just achievements, but meaning.
9. Join Me
If you’ve ever felt like you’re meant for more — but you’re also learning how to slow down and enjoy what you already have — this space is for you.
I’m building in public, learning out loud, and sharing as I go.
One idea, one reflection, one step at a time.
Let’s grow, learn, and win life together.
