Some of us have our health, some of us have more free time than others, some of us have more resources than others... that's just the way it is. The challenge is for each of to not compare ourselves to other people who are in a different situation. Instead, let's figure out: how can we make something tiny, and put it out into the world?Adam Clark, from last week, talked about what he would do differently:Pick something small you could launch in a week. That momentum of launching is really, really powerful.Great quote from James Altucher:"I try to improve myself 1% a day. It seems small, but over a year it makes a big difference."Project updateWe're combining two different platforms: Gumroad which allows makers to sell digital goods.
