One of my all time favorite business books is Millionaire Fastlane. Once you read it you cannot accept working a regular 9-5 job ever again. Love this quote - it emphasizes the value of execution over ideas

Started a new side project - a faceless YouTube channel - all AI generated videos 7 videos in, just crossed 20 hours watch time last night. I’m using AutoShorts.ai to generate the videos and writing the script using ChatGPT or Claude.. Someone on X told me that 400 views per video is pretty common for the shorts algo.. almost any video can get there.. so now I’m trying to figure out how I can go past this number - is the stories, the visuals, the script or maybe all of it.. Let’s see how this goes 🤞

My little day on the front page of HN is over. Started at 10 am and it was still there was 3 am when I went to bed. 19k visitors so far. 10+ signups, 3 entered card details to start a trial. I'm super happy with the result.

I just read a great story about a girl making $5000 MRR by monetising Telegram channels. When you read it, it seems super easy to grow and monetize with ads. She even grew her channel from 0 to over 6000 subscribers within a couple of months. Low tech, high growth, decent passive income. THE dream of any indie Hacker. **BUT** When you look for this entrepreneur on X, her only activity is selling courses about how to grow your Telegram channels... 😭 I bet she's making more money from selling "shovels" to IH that want to copy her success than with her actual Telegram channels. I've fall in this trap before. Don't be like me 😊
