You’re an Airline Pilot. Why do you want to be an Indie Hacker?
I was recently asked this question. I'm sure he's not the only one thinking it.
To read about why I am doing what I’m doing and what lead me here, I have just written a small summary on Medium.
I get some of the same questions to as a Risk Manager (my day job!)
Can we trade careers for a few weeks?? Lol I’ve always wanted to be an airline pilot.
I absolutely despise the 12 startups in 12 months strategy, so it’s a little hard for me to wish you luck. But I’m super impressed when people from outside the tech world, come in and try to start something. I think it’s really cool that you’re already mastering the No code tools, and are creating something and providing value to people.
Welcome to the Indie Hacker world. It’s not easy! But it is an equal opportunity employer, as long as you can provide value to customers you will make it.
Haha! Hey Shane 👋🏼 The 12 startups never fails to stir controversy! 😂 My my perspective it is purely a vehicle to keep me accountable. I have a long list of ideas I would like to build and no ide which ones will be a hit. I want to learn to hold stuff (no-code at this stage) and I want to learn marketing. I also know I’m prone to stuff around for way too long on a project before I get it in the hands of customers. Because I’m mostly building simple websites and apps, I know I can crank most out in under 30 days. I’ll be loading myself up but I need this personally to keep me focussed. On the part about being an airline pilot, there aren’t many jobs that lend themselves to a side hustle much better than being paid to sit on a chair in the sky 😜
