Hey, Followers! 👋 Would you like to know more about what I do and what I create? This is our journey!🚢

1 lesson from the book (DEEP WORK) I'm currently reading.💡I forget this obvious fact from time to time. Pretending to be busy or being busy isn't directly related to your productivity. 🤦‍♂️ How deeply you immerse and concentrate is more related to productivity.🎯

These days, I try to go out and meet new people in person. By getting to know people from diverse backgrounds, I gain a variety of insights and networking opportunities. Above all, I learn more about myself and gain a deeper understanding of myself through sharing stories with others.

One of my hobbies is kickboxing(Muay Thai).🥊 I used to think that right after exercising, I wouldn't be productive. That's because I had used up a lot of energy. But that's not true. Exercising makes me feel like my mind gets refreshed. And I become more creative and productive right after exercising. I'm confident that exercising is the best way to refresh your mind and boost productivity. What's the best way for you to refresh your mind(or brain)??

What's the most important thing for someone working in a startup or as an independent hacker? I think believing we can 'figure out problems' is super important. When you stop believing that, it makes lose our motivation. It's great to be here with all of you who still believe you can figure out problems today. Cheers💫💫💫

Things to Do and Avoid While Finding PMF Do - Listening to what users are saying - Analyzing user behavior Don't - Brainstorming - Adding new features - Experimenting to improve conversion rates That's why I'm continuing my efforts to meet with the target users.💫

My target customers are Amazon e-commerce sellers To better understand the behavior of my target customers, what methods can we use? - User interviews - Checking active communities of target customers - Surveys Do you have any other recommended channels or methods? #buildinginpublic

I've identified pain points for Amazon sellers through some interviews, but I constantly wonder if can address these issues with the product (tool). Am I overthinking it?🤔 I'm not trying to solve everything for our customers, but just one specific task (problem). But still unclear to me what that exact point is.

It's a matter of perspective. In the past, when people around me asked me questions that showed concern like "Are things going well in your work?" or "How much are you earning? Is that enough?", I used to think they didn't trust me. And it sometimes hurt my pride a bit. But things have changed now. Whenever I receive such questions, I think, 'Oh, there are people who care about me, and I'm grateful for that,' and 'Their concerns motivate me to achieve my goals.' Being able to shift my perspective came from focusing on my own path without comparing myself to others. And also because I'm with great people walking this path with me. Whenever you find yourself comparing yourself with something else, remember the people who are walking alongside you.

Does anyone get news from Twitter? Can you recommend reliable sources or individuals to follow for real-time news (such as economics, startups, etc.)?

Today, while talking to an individual seller on Amazon, I heard she's willing to pay from $20 for the software we're planning. We have yet to get a product, and there's no landing page. However, willingness to pay for that issue was a good sign. But, I'm considering whether this issue is a recurring one, or if it truly provides value.🤔 I should talk to more sellers and see if they are willing to pay.

We talked about an 'urgent problem' at our team meeting yesterday.💣 I used to think that an 'urgent problem' was the same as a 'serious problem'. But our team leader said yesterday that we need to identify recurring problems. I realized that big companies don't often give startups like us the chance to solve serious problems. On the other hand, they do seem to give us opportunities to reduce recurring problems. (probably because they're not a big risk). And if these take up a lot of time, they can become 'urgent'. So, I realized that an 'urgent problem' can also be a recurring problem at the meeting yesterday.

Daniel Kahneman said: “Nothing in life is as important as you think it is, while you are thinking about it” This is the Focusing Illusion. These days, I have been having online meetings with some people in order to find and verify problems. I've been reaching out to people who have never met me in person, either through LinkedIn or simply proposing a casual coffee chat offline. I have found that this process prevents me from falling into the focusing illusion. It's a reminder to me not to ignore the real problems my customers face because of my hypotheses.

Hey Elon Musk, Wait, are you advertising in the sky in Korea now? LOL! 😂😂 You're taking marketing to a whole new level, literally!

Don't fall in love with your product! 💔 Sometimes We have too much affection for our products. As a result, we focus more on product features than customer problems. We imagine and create the customer's problems through these features. But, customers don't actually perceive these problems as urgent and don't pay for them. In this process, we need to practice not falling in love with the product by realizing that it's not solving the problem. And we need to return to the journey of finding the customer's problems. Haven't you fallen too much in love with your product? What problems does your product solve for customers?

I just subscribed to Chat GPT-4 What plugin do you use for your productivity? Or what's the interesting plugin? I wanna try out! Any plugins you recommend?

The mistake I make often. 'Create a product and find a problem (market) that corresponds to that product.' ➡️I should identify and find the problem first and create a product that can solve that problem. We get to the right path by identifying the problem.

What are your first-hand experiences in B2B sales? How should I approach it? Cold calling? Cold emailing? Selling to acquaintances? Without a sales track record, what methods would be effective?
