I use Power BI and Tableau every day.
They’re powerful but slow for quick trends.

So I built TrendChart.

A free tool that turns raw data into instant trend charts.

Find Your Water

Everyone drinks water.
Everyone needs it to survive

But....

In the U.S.?
You buy bottles.

In other places?
You walk miles to find a well.
That’s business.

Everyone has the same need, but not everyone gets it the same way.

I lost my job.
Drained my 401k.
Took out loans just to survive.

But my kids still said, “Daddy, I love when you park with us.”
They don’t care about money. They care about time.

Now I build for freedom, not status.
Digital products.
Micro SaaS.
Writing.

Because money comes and goes

Automation is key to anything.

The problem is, you have to figure out how to use it properly.

Don’t just type into ChatGPT or other platforms “do this for me.”
You need systems, guidance, and structure.

What do I mean?

The reason most people fail online isn’t lack of ideas. It’s lack of patience.

They quit at Day 30 when Day 300 was around the corner.

This use to be me. I switched project faster than a lion hunting for it's next meal.

Now i'm focused and market my newsletter. 👇

I changed my mindset.

I stopped posting new products everyday and am focusing on one product.

Now my mind is 100% clear:

When I was running around doing a million things at once I was leaving opportunities on the table. Why?

They say money doesn’t buy happiness.

That may be true. But money does buy you ease of mind.

The hardest thing as a parent is worrying about how you are gonna get the next meal on the table for your kids.

It’s a crazy feeling for sure. I hope I never have to worry about money again.
