💡 Copying is an underrated skill A lot of people try to create something 'original'. But the path to originality is copying, a lot. And adding your own unique insights, flavours, twists to it. Over time, it becomes an 'original'. Don't be afraid to copy when getting started.

Building an audience does not guarantee paying customers. Here's what you should do instead: • Find people who face a problem. • Understand the problem deeply and build a compelling solution. • Reach out to those people and offer to take their headache away.
