What they did
Host diagnosed an addiction to building and shiny object syndrome: go cold turkey for 30 days, no new features, projects or ideas; goal $1,000 revenue. Gaurabh picked his two strongest products (attn.design and VueMagnet) and worked only on selling them.
What happened
$0 before; ~$99 after 30 days; $6,500 after 60 days.
- Effort
- 60 days
This shipped together with other changes, so the result can't be credited to this alone.
“So, I would push you, in the next 30 days, to go cold turkey off that, and not build any new features, or any new projects, or any new ideas.”
“What's really going to happen next is me focusing on these two products and this ecosystem that I showed you, and just nurturing it.”
