I’m back again.
It’s been almost a year since my last post, and a lot has changed. I quit my job, sort of took a break, tried to launch my own SaaS, failed, and learned a lot along the way.
The biggest highlight for me, though, was starting a TikTok account.
Honestly, this feels bigger than quitting my job.
Maybe it’s because I’m an introvert, but putting myself out there like that has been one of the scariest and cringiest things I’ve done. At first, I saw it as a top-of-funnel thing — a way to generate leads, build a brand, maybe open doors.
But the more videos I made, and as my circumstances changed, I started to see it differently.
It could just be a place for me to do what I’ve always wanted to do consistently: share the joy of building and share what I’m learning.
I think that matters more to me than I first realized. For a long time, part of my dream was to be an educator in one way or another. I even applied a few times to become an instructor or lecturer. But maybe this is me finding my own way to do that.
I don’t need to be an official trainer or lecturer to share that knowledge.
I’ve been experimenting a lot, and I haven’t been very consistent yet. But I think that’s part of the process. I’m starting to understand what kind of content I actually enjoy making, and interestingly, that also seems to be the kind of content that gets more views, saves, and likes.
I’m still figuring it out, but I know one thing for sure: I don’t want TikTok to become a place where I act like a teacher. I want it to be a place where I share what I’m learning, what I’m trying, and what I’m finding along the way.
A devlog, basically.
Right now, I’m also starting a new adventure. I hope I’ll be able to share more about it in time.
For now, expect more weekly posts about things I’m building, tips I find useful, and little hacks that make building easier or more fun.
