Amazon also knows my previous buying shopping history, it can target princely the white labeled product of its, which I have been buying regularly.

It is more than best shelves.

Tyranny and data moat when marketplace also becomes your competitor.

Changing culture takes longer than making PR. sigh..

Thanks Dang.

Capitalism seems to thrive better along with pandemic.

Reading autobiography of Benjamin Franklin makes me feel we don't need tools but willingness within. He had a notebook and pen with him.

Trump exists because of social media.

How difficult it is to build a B2B, white labeled software and charge as subscription for these shops? These shops can market the link on social media and yellow pages?

Is it because Deliveroo also is the default source for online order making customers? Curious.

Love what folks at Earnest are doing. I was reading one of the draft LP documents, I am assuming it was shared here.

Keep up good work, we need a different route/way of building business as well. :)

Sounds like Yahoo pre Marissa Mayer era. :)

Make a list:

1. Add everything you want to achieve.

2. Divide it among the categories: learning, goals etc.

3. Start striking off the list and limit to 3 in each.

4. Repeat the process, limit it to two.

Focus.

Good Luck.

Do we really need WinUI in 2020?

I thank Seth Godin for his advice on writing.

Blogging has become a daily ritual in my life for sometime.

wake up > make coffee > write a post.

When it comes to pricing I relate it with Jobs to be Done. Pain, desire to progress and willingness to pay as a prime lever.

Whatever pain you are solving, if customers have no money they are not going to buy the product.

If customer has no desire to progress, they will stick with existing software even your product will make like 100X better.

* Associate reading with some other task, aka listening to instrumentals. This will trigger you to pick book, get into reading mode.

* Pick or make a reading corner where you don't have any distraction.

* Divide 25-30 mins chunks.

* Eat well, breath and meditate.

I enjoyed reading Edward Bernay's book title: Propaganda. Some examples resonates so well even in 2020 with advertisement industry.

Capitalism and Morale does not go hand in hand.
