I visualized 8 lessons from 1 year doing indie development

It's been a year since I returned to Twitter and started making apps seriously.

What I've got besides 💰💸? Lots of new friends and valuable lessons along the way 🥰

It all started with a change in mindset ⚡️

Therefore I've made these 8 visuals to share what I've learned

1. Take risk. If you're so afraid to make mistake, you've already made your 1st mistake. When you win, you win. When you fail, you've learned yourself a lesson.

1. Build in public

Don't start with an idea and build in the dark.
Build in public, validate and reiterate your ideas, together with your audience.

1. Just do it

There are no unique ideas. It's all about execution.
When in doubt, start small, start many.

1. The maker mindset

When people complain, you realize the problem. Make a solution that heals their pain.

1. In the community

Twitter is all about the community, the relation.

Don't shout to the void. Make friends. Interact with people. Grow together.

1. Give, then ask.

To give is to receive.

1. Build. Fail. Learn.

Learning without doing is a waste of time. Only learning is a sign of procrastination.

Build something. You will learn a lot along the way. All the practical lessons that you can't learn from books.

1. You may be able to do anything, but you cannot do everything

Time is a limited resource.
Successful people say no most of the time.
Spend your time on things that truly matter
