Ptrulli | 4 years ago | on: What causes me to quit my business attempts?

Good suggestion and point here. I am currently looking into becoming a subject matter expert on a particular topic of interest, as of now, I feel like I'm not on any topic. Rather I know a little bit about various topics.

Thanks for your response here, I like the quick launches of products, however, my coding skills are a hinderance here as im still learning. I understand your point however. I like the community advice, however I feel like this step takes time, the very things we are trying to cut out. Perhaps, by choosing a specific niche and always tailoring products around that niche may help build the community faster than switching niches often.

First off thanks for your post, its been a great read and very helpful.

Most important the lessons learned you shared are great and I hope you don't mind i've made a copy to reference as the going gets tough.

I think time is the one thing I definitely disregard. Disregard in the sense I move too quickly, its just how my brain operates. Learn, push things out, rinse and repeat. That's typically my approach to things. I am going to try and slow down, let things marinate and see what happens.

Appreciate your input here, and believe me reading your comment spoke to my soul! It's literally my struggle.

"maybe we (I) should just take it slowly, focus on something we enjoy and has (some) meaning."

A hard yes on this! I am going to try to shift my focus into something meaningful, enjoyable and see where that take me.

Good luck with your journey!

Hey, I agree I'm sure plenty of entrepreneurs can relate. I'm in my mid 30's also, but I still find myself pivoting frequently. I think it may be a balance issue in my case. Meaning, working a full time job and having family that need my time and attention. In this case, I try to find something that sticks, and if not, I move on. But maybe that approach is flawed. Maybe the overall vision of becoming financially free is the wrong approach. Maybe it's a matter of focusing on something you really enjoy. Not enjoy as in for a few months but find something you love and has meaning. Maybe that's more fulfilling and will lead to financial reward?? I really no have clue, it's such a hard landscape to maintain, cut, water, weed etc. I'm glad you found enjoyment in what you do! I'm happy for you even though I don't know you. Good luck with the rest of your journey!!!

Great job on this and the idea itself is genius. It does look like the earring uses the piercing itself to stay in place. To be honest visually the top portion does look awkward, but I am sure it's just a matter of getting used to the look.

Nonetheless, great job and goodluck!

Ptrulli | 5 years ago | on: Dopamine Hits Newsletter

Hi everyone,

Here's a little bit about me and the newsletter I decided to create and launch.

I tend to be interested in various topics on any given day. Deep diving into a topic often leads to another, sometimes related other-times not.

This is how my brain functions... some call it scattered others call it 'all over the place'. But I call it curiosity and the drive to learn.

The Dopamine Hits newsletter is my outlet. Its a place where I can read, summarize, and provide links to various articles.

To be honest, its been fun doing the research on various topics not only for myself but for others who learn or prefer to learn in this style.

I have only created one email (working on #2) but I wanted to document my journey thus far and also provide value to others who may be interested.

If you are interested and do read the preview please let me know your thoughts and suggestions on how I can improve.

I am using Roam (more and more these days) which I am sure will lead to interesting subjects in the near future.

Thanks for reading my post.

Stay safe, Paolo

GPT-3 is at the very least an indication of future AI advancement. Sure maybe this particular version is still early to be widley incorporated in business or used globally. It's definitely a step in the right direction. I'd personally love the opportunity to test it personally to really get the whole experience.

Ptrulli | 5 years ago | on: Formula 1 2020: The secret aerodynamicist – are capes the key?

I think you captured this perfectly with your explanation. I did not take into account the teams. I was solely concentrating from a fans perspective in error or from being a fan myself. So this delicate balance won't really change much due to the reason you outlined. I'm curious in your opinion what do you think could change that will affect the sport in a positive manner (from a fan and business perspective)?

Ptrulli | 5 years ago | on: Formula 1 2020: The secret aerodynamicist – are capes the key?

I see the formula one body always trying to change rules that effect car performance. The goal, more overtaking and competitive racing. My question is if they were to have more technology limitations meaning less area of improvement would that balance of 90% car 10% driver change for the better. Say 60% car and 40% driver. Wouldn't that make it more competitive?
