The Solo Journey: Recent Episodes
Victor Heid
A podcast about an aspiring Solopreneur, building in public. The struggles, the doubts, the learnings and everything in between.
Released on 6th Sep 2021
In this episode I talk about the past 3 months working full time on my projects, and how it affected the way I do things, now that I'm back working 9-5 and using my spare time for my own projects.
I sound a bit tired, because I am. That's part of it (and probably lead to a bit of an unstructured episode). Next, I will be regaining energy so I can continue the journey

After 3 months working full time on my projects, it time to readjust and also check what I've learned so far.

A bit delayed, but now Update Thursdays are Update Fridays
Went a bit free-style (which caused me to forget the last topic "What I've learned" ... Woopsie. I might do a short episode later to compensate for that. :)
I've talked a bit on this week events, Stripe Tax approved, a small big change in the application, finally getting the Terms of Service and other legal documents ready and other topics.

This episode is a short one.
I talk about being unmotivated at late stages of an unfinished project, how new ideas become tempting and the importance of being aware of this behaviour.
By no means an specialist - just a mental dump :)

Every journey has a beginning.
A bit of a backstory and purpose of this Podcast that will follow my Journey as a build (and learn) in public.
Where I am, who I am, why I'm here is a good starting point.
