Just do the thing

“I want to become an indie hacker.”

Congratulations, my friend! You have a huge problem now. Because you define an identity label that you don’t understand, and the definition of which depends on social media algorithms. You will not make it and will suffer a lot.

I realized it is better to think in specific things or in verbs:

“I want to build a profitable business by making this specific type of customer happy, which will allow me to read books in the mornings and have walks with my friends whenever I want.”

And when you define it like that. Suddenly, labels don’t matter. Founder, entrepreneur, or solopreneur: it all doesn’t matter. Just do the thing.
