My Q4 and going forward

In my past posts, I have been complaining about my low sales during Q4, while everyone else is having the best time of the year. This time, it’s different. No, my sales did not skyrocket, but I am choosing a different mindset. No more moaning (yes, I could do that and start with how AIContinue reading “My Q4 and going forward”

Why mistakes are good

I know, it is getting boring – AI this and AI that. But I hope you remember my argument why being human online is important. And I have a little proof to back it up today. It happened to me on three platforms, within a span of a few months. I was invited to beContinue reading “Why mistakes are good”

Is the solo-preneur route still worth it?

So many things have happened since my last post. And it really felt glum. Not only AI creations everywhere, but also tariffs, the cost of living, and blah, blah, blah. I was really feeling that there is no point continuing the solo entrepreneur way, no matter how glamorous it sounds 🙂 My social media presenceContinue reading “Is the solo-preneur route still worth it?”

“Do What You Can” Strategy

Recently, I have been overwhelmed more than ever. Yes, it is caused by the AI avalanche, and I have written about it in my previous post. And will not mention it here again. It’s more about the feeling I have when summer creeps in, seeing everyone on holiday, chilling, and relaxing. It is the timeContinue reading ““Do What You Can” Strategy”

Why I am writing as a human

This is going to be a very short one, but maybe a valuable one. I have noticed the shift in search and how you get discovered. I struggled for years with SEO—doing it but not really, and if I am honest, mainly failing in it. And now, finally, things are shifting. AI is the newContinue reading “Why I am writing as a human”

The most simple advice on the productivity – 2 buckets system

By now, I have read so many articles and posts on productivity ( I don’t even count YouTube videos) that I should be a productivity expert myself. So am I? No. But I have figured out this: Everyone will recommend the system that works for them, but my situation and goals might be completely different.Continue reading “The most simple advice on the productivity – 2 buckets system”

A quiet mind is all you need

Starting 2025, still not retired. If you have been following me, you know that I have been trying to do that with the help of my numerous side hassles. I do feel it is an uphill battle most of the time. Trying to increase traffic, getting exposure, and capturing more visitors and subscribers. It seemsContinue reading “A quiet mind is all you need”

Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts

I don’t like long blog posts. So here we go. This year I have dropped; Small selling sites that just took my focus away i.e. Zazzle, Spoonflower, and the biggest of them all – Amazon. By dropping, I mean not creating new products and leaving it ‘as is.” And I have also dropped, and IContinue reading “Side-Hassle Do and Don’ts”

Find your purpose…

I hear this so often, yet until recently I would not give you a clear answer. Of course, I could always make something up. I could can say something to my parents and something different to my kids. I could blurt something out without thinking about it too much. Especially when I wanted to soundContinue reading “Find your purpose…”

Find your local role…

Just one experience from last week. I feel that local community is more important than ever. I know hat most of us are online for many hours and connecting with the ‘global village’. I have realised that internet always takes me mile away to different continents which is lovely but I do have less andContinue reading “Find your local role…”
