There is a profound peace in realising your life - your home, your food, your travels - is funded by your own curiosity. I wake up, ask "I wonder if that will work?", and I try it. That’s it. That’s the 'business plan'. Eternally grateful for a world where "Let me try" is enough to pay the bills.

Everyone wants the "house, travels, and freedom" lifestyle. Most think the path is a 10-step corporate ladder. For me it’s a 2-step Q&A: 1. "I wonder if that will work?" 2. "Let me try" Grateful for the daily cashflow, but it only started the moment I prioritised experimentation over perfection.

Money flows in daily, and I’m eternally grateful. But it isn’t magic. My 'strategy' is a constant inner monologue: "I wonder if that will work? Let me try." No 40-page business plans. No gatekeepers. Just curiosity, trial & error, and a mortgage paid for by being brave enough to test hypotheses.

You can pay $50,000 for a college course. Or you can invest $5,000 to start a business that could fund your life. Even if it fails, you'll learn more than any degree could teach you.

Most people never start because they compare their "sell cupcakes online" idea to SpaceX. That's like refusing to go jogging because you're not Usain Bolt. Don't let comparison paralyse you. Just start.

What if the biggest scam wasn't student loans, but what school taught you to want? What you learned back then hasn't caught up with the opportunities for making a living today. Choose early to educate yourself on subjects *you* love, then become an expert at them by practising your passion daily.

Indie hacking is going mainstream, but most of the world will still pressure you to take the "safe" route. There's no societal GPS for this, so read widely to remember what matters. Join a community to stay on track. Let go of how you "should live" and embrace being a solo entrepreneur.

I spent 13 years in restaurants learning this: happy customers are your best growth strategy. Most companies hand off customer service to entry-level staff, ill-trained VAs, or AI. Big mistake. When you have 130 reviews, which one do buyers read first? The 1-star.

Stop blaming yourself and others whenever something fails. Learn Feng Shui and blame the furniture.

I pay for my house, my groceries, and my travels using three words: "I wonder if...?" Most people over-analyse. I experiment. Every day is a loop of: "I wonder if this will work? Let me try." The universe rewards curiosity with cash flow.

I still can't believe this works. My brain: "I wonder if that will work? Let me try." The universe: *sends money* Repeat daily. This funds my house, groceries, travels, everything. Eternally grateful for a life built on curiosity.

You don't need a business plan. My only strategy: "I wonder if that will work? Let me try." House paid. Groceries covered. Travel funded. The universe rewards curiosity more than certainty.

The rise of committee-made media and AI-generated garbage in the 21st century may be the in-universe explanation for why science fiction like “Star Trek” and “The Orville” seem to fixate on 20th-century music and films.
