MY PHILOSOPHY
Why I Build This Way
The Breaking Point
In 2021, I walked away from a comfortable corporate job. Not because I hated it, but because I couldn't shake the feeling that I was trading my best years for someone else's dream. The 9-5 felt like a slow leak of potential.
2021"Build once, sell many times."
This is the game. Create assets that work while you sleep. Every directory, every course, every tool I build is a bet on leverage—my time invested once, returns compounding forever.
"Small bets, big upside."
Inspired by Daniel Vassallo's portfolio approach. I don't put all eggs in one basket. I make multiple small bets, knowing most will fail, but the ones that work will more than make up for the rest.
"Ship fast. Learn faster."
Following Pieter Levels' playbook—launch quickly, get feedback, iterate. Perfection is the enemy of progress. My first products were embarrassingly simple. They still made money.
"Seek wealth, not status."
Naval's wisdom runs deep. I optimize for freedom, not followers. Building in public isn't about clout—it's about accountability, learning, and connecting with others on the same path.
4 Products, 4 Lessons
01
Start before you're ready
My first venture in education consulting taught me that momentum beats preparation. You learn by doing, not planning.
02
Directories print money
Simple curation + SEO + patience = recurring revenue. Swipe Directory proved the model. I've been hooked ever since.
03
Know when to exit
Selling Affiliate Corner and my niche blog wasn't giving up—it was strategic. Take profits, reduce risk, fund the next bet.
04
Build for yourself first
Directory Ideas exists because I needed it. The best products solve your own problems. You are your first customer.
Location Independent
Freedom isn't just financial—it's geographical. I've worked from cafes, co-working spaces, and hotel rooms across Asia and the Middle East. The laptop lifestyle isn't a fantasy; it's a choice.

"The goal isn't to be busy. It's to be free."
This is why I build. Not for the hustle, but for the freedom it creates. Every product is a step toward a life on my own terms.
