The Manual #52 - If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
The Manual #52 - If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
I’ve heard this said numerous times over the past year or two. I remember the first time I heard it, I almost felt like it completely rewired my brain.
There’s many people who will love to give you unsolicited advice, people who somehow seem to have answers to all of your problems, they’ve figured out the best way to make lots of money….yet they haven’t solved their own problems or become rich themselves.
If you’re at the beginning of your career, new job, new business — whatever it might be. Be vary wary of taking advice from people who haven’t done it.
If they’re so smart, why aren’t they rich?
NEW - iphonecreatorcourse.com
With the launch of the new iPhone and my obsession with getting the most out of the iPhone camera. I’ve launched a mini course teaching people how to get the most out of the iPhone.
Also anyone who purchases gets automatically put in to a draw to win a new iPhone 16 Pro, AirPods Pro or an Apple gift card.
Price is currently $59, but we will be putting it up in a couple of weeks. Wanted early buyers to get the best price.
New business - Browser.supply
I’ve partnered with a Framer expert to build and sell Framer templates. We’re planning a bunch of other things too, so there’s a lot to come from this new business.
Link Lowdown
A collection of links to stuff I think are worth sharing.
Flighty — A flight tracking app. But I’m in awe of the design and aesthetic of their app and website. It’s all so smooth.
IINA — A media player for the Mac. Good Quicktime replacement.
time.fyi — A selection of time management apps and tools.
Voicenotes — A voice note taking tool that can use AI to get the most out of them.
Notion Calendar — Notion now have their own calendar app.
Native Union Pocket Cable — Pretty awesome USB-C charging cable.
Plaud NotePin — An AI memory capsule. It’s pretty cool but I can’t help but think an Apple Watch can easily replace this.
@Oliur wouldn't you agree that there are loads of smart people who simply lack the desire to be very work-ambitious, become an entrepreneur or any other reason revolving solely around money?
Congrats on the new business Oliur! A neat alternative to the Native Union Pocket Cable to have on your radar... super minimal form factor with 100W power transfer and support for most connections: https://rollingsquare.com/products/incharge-x (also available on Amazon).
