- Reach 6 figures annually with Embarque.io ๐ค
- Be more active and engage on LinkedIn. We love to hate it, but for b2b, itโs probably where most of your clients are.
- Learn more about sales. Itโs our biggest funnel for Embarque, but Iโve been more scrappy than intentional with my approach.
- Hire someone to build Embarqueโs marketing processes. I handle everything, so marketing always ends up being at the end of my list. I want to change that.
- Play more with no-code tools, especially Bubble.io

Okay, let me be very realistic and humble:
Good luck! Same for 4, tbh. Sticking to a routine and having a protein intake of 25g/protein 5x a day does the trick for me! I weigh 70kg haha.
Woah, you took protein 5x times per day? As well as usual meals? Looks like a lot?
Plus, "sticking to a routine" = what do you mean, gym?
I was able to lose a significant amount of weight in spring when I took 1500 kcal daily. But now again gained a lot of weight because of stress: I usually eat when I stress out =\
Thank you! :)
yeah, lol. i run marathons and already did some strength training beforehand, so it's all a matter of tapping into my muscle memory.
in terms of diet, most of what i eat consists of protein (e.g. lentils, chicken, eggs, etc.) and rice, so yeah it can get quite excessive. but it helps me stick to my objectives.
haha i don't eat when stressed. in fact, sometimes, i get sick from not eating, so i try to be balanced with my diet, in terms of nutrients. v important to stay healthy during the pandemic.
yeah, routine=work, learning, going to the gym and eating.
Ouch, you run marathons :) No questions anymore, for sportmen it's totally fine to take so many protein
I'm out, my lazy ass cannot even go to gym. Though I used to go there quite a lot in the past :)
My single-minded goal is to replace my income with weekendclub.co subscription revenue, or roughly $5k MRR. We're currently on $1,104.
It's gonna be wild!
Onward and upward!!!!
Yesssssssss. I can't wait to follow your journey Jay ;).
My goal is to make https://addpotion.So my full time income. Pretty challenging goal as I just got started recently.
This looks pretty cool! Simplify your questionnaire though haha! "What features would you like to see in Potion?" needs to be a set of checkboxes, because I have no clue what kind of features to suggest.
This is coming from someone who might be interested in your product :D.
Thanks! Hmm I'm hoping that some people will have some suggestions. I guess I'm thinking that most people will know what I have been building as I have shared a lot about it in public on Twitter.
I am hoping to get feedback out of the waitlist.
I outline my goals & themes for next year in the wiki.
Mostly the focus is on releasing a learning site I am building and doing more deep work/study.
This is so appealing to me. In 2020, I've realised that nothing makes me happier than these 2 things: learning and buildng.
In terms of personal goals, 2021 will be the year I'll optimise my life towards those 2 things!!!
I'll follow your journey!
I plan to go berserk with Red Goose ๐งง๐ฆ in the year 2021.
I am trying my level best to achieve the following by 2020 for that:
Macro goal:
Hahahahahahahaha, yesssssssssss. But please add a community engagement goal in there. Without community, SEO won't work well!
Red Goose looks very cool!
I'm hoping to add support for iOS project types and then do an early access preview release at the start of the year for CrashCatch.com
I hope to spend most of my time on Bolt โก in 2021:
yooooo, this is a cool product and great hero image! very clear and concise!
thank you kind sir :)
User fewer emojis -> I've had that same goal for the last decade. Let me tell you... ๐คท๐คฆ๐ฟ๐ค๐ต
Since just yesterday I started SplendidPress, I want to:
Since I have no idea how to do any sales, the last bit will take quite some doing, I figure.
Can I ask why you're iffy about sales? By the way, look into SEO for WP marketplaces! Could be very valuable for you!
Honestly I've just never had any sales experience. I'll give SEO a look, thanks!
I aim to focus my efforts on Nana, SaaS Starter Kit: https://saasstarterkit.app/
2021 is gonna be very exciting! ๐ค
from a marketing viewpoint, technical (guest-)blogging and community building may be your best bet :D. Lots of technical indie hackers want to learn all the processes behind building a SaaS tool. Good luck!
That's what I had in mind as well, thanks a lot for confirming! Do you have any places in mind to start with guest-blogging?
right now, i'd focus on getting more eyeballs to your product. reddit can be a great place for that. insert your product in these threads:

Good luck!
Oh, great pointers, thanks a lot!
Anytime ;). My business is in SEO, but I started in community building and growth after all haha.
I'm still gonna be 100% focused on logology:
On that last bit, Embarque is a much needed service and looks very deep, congrats!
One of the most aesthetic sites I've ever used. And, it does what it says. If I already didn't have a logo, I would have chosen one of the recommanded in a heartbeat.
Thanks man, really appreciate the kind words.
Would really like to give it a go for my project, but my project's name is 13 characters and you limit single words to 12 :( Either way, best of luck to you!
Hey there, it's to avoid words that are too long and therefore unaesthetic, but it's not a perfect system. I see you gave it a go by adding a space. If you find something that you love, just let me know and I'll create the one word version for you ๐
Aw cheers bud! I've been following logology since May, I think. Good luck, man! It's a tough grind, so I hope that you find the funnel/workflow that works for you.
Epic frameworks!!!! Frameworks>tips.
Yes.
During my journey; I am going to create some systems for myself for best outcome.
Once I find it helpful for myself, I will share it with everyone mostly in form of notion templates. Those will be highly actionable frameworks.

Great post inspiring
My realistic goal:
Hey Julian, nice post!
Some goals of mine arent set yet, but I am working on it.
Low but important goals for me! :)
Goal TIP ๐ก
I've been doing "quarterly and yearly goals" since 2017 which have been really good for me! Get away somewhere by yourself quarterly (spa, cafe, hike etc), spend time on focusing what you've done an what you want to do to reach your yearly goal. Check your progress every quarter to remind yourself where you want to go (what i've done last 3 months, what I want to do next 3 months to get closer to my yearly goal etc) ! ๐
Hahaha this is so good! I've thought about something similar, actually. But, like, 1-2 days a month instead. I kinda want to rent a cabin, isolate myself and focus on deep work. The work could be online, but it's just the idea of socially isolating myself as a reset that seems super appealing.
I'm trying to be realistic with my expectations on ListenLater.fm:
Baby steps...
Great goals! #3 is also a personal goal of mine. In 2020, I've realised that I'm at my happiest and at peace when I'm either building or learning. I want to optimize my life in 2020 for my personal happiness/growth.
I read the "Navalmanack" (https://www.navalmanack.com/) and it really updated my perspective on optimizing your professional life for personal happiness.
The whole thing is a short read with a lot of valuable insights, but one of the things that stood out to me was "Find the things that feel like play to you but are work to others."
It's hard to do things that feel like work, but you can play 12 hours a day so other people can't outwork you.
In practice, that's a lot easier when you have revenue and can pay someone else to do the things that feel like work (which brings me back to Goal #1).
Yep, funny thing, I was reviewing my growth and processes and I've realized that I've experienced growth when I was "having fun" with building Embarque. This basically consists of creating content, meaningfully brainstorming with people and engaging in communities.
With that in mind, I'll definitely optimize my building philosophy around what I have fun doing, because I've been successful with this so far.
Our goal is to launch https://onegate.app q1 2021 and hopefully by q4 we reach a wide customer base. We are very excited for 2021
Good luck!
I launched a course - https://alternativehypothesis.github.io/PythonBacktesting
My goals are
Whatever money comes my way doing this, I'll take that.
Niceeee. But:
"help them lose less money."
You absolutely need to shift the messaging here ๐.
This is exactly what I used in my sales page and it did wonders.
The trading community is very different from the usual indie community buying products/services. So, some rules aren't directly applicable there.
I tried a different approach that has been working so far in helping convey the message.
ooooh interesting. great feedback, thanks!
Goals for SongRender:
Niceeee, based on a glance, your product can be useful for podcasters, too!
congrats on the llc!
Thank you!
