#300 - Sailing Against the Tide

#300 - Sailing Against the Tide

Author: Tiago Ferreira July 6, 2023 Duration: 20:06

Have you ever participated in a quiz with friends and suddenly realized how little general knowledge you actually have? That's exactly what happened to me recently. So, I've decided to study flags to improve my knowledge in that area. On another note, I'm really passionate about sailing, but navigating the strong tides and currents of the river in Lisbon can be quite challenging. It has taught me the importance of patience and waiting, which I find parallels with my entrepreneurial journey. While I'm grateful for the stability in my business, I'm also yearning for something new and dreaming of creating a collaborative working environment.

Tiago Ferreira is a full-time builder, an Indie Founder who operates without venture capital, turning ideas into revenue-generating startups entirely on his own terms. This podcast is the audio journal of that specific journey, focused on the craft of entrepreneurship and the tangible goal of hitting $100,000 in annual recurring revenue.

The focus remains squarely on actionable insights and shared experiences within the indie maker community.
