Did you read the latest blog post? I has financials for 2019

I always hold up https://pinboard.in/ as a poster child for a successful one-man shop. It's so successful he takes several months off at a time, right now he's in HK reporting on the demonstrations.

He's very generous with sharing his financials on his blog: https://blog.pinboard.in/2019/07/i_cant_stop_winning/

That’s so counterintuitive once you get used to all company returns (both privately and publicly held) being public information in Sweden.

Here’s Spotify’s complete financial history from its inception for example:

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but is an S-1 the first chance for the general public to get any insight into a company’s financials?

Throw money at _everything_ that’s not your core competency - ivocing, bookkeeping, sales, marketing, virtual assistants.

You can sell your invoices to factoring companies and have the money within 48hours for 2-3% of the invoice total.

I quit Facebook right around the time my son was born. It wasn't for privacy reasons (and frankly, it never bothered me), but rather for the enormous energy and time sink it had become. Truly, it was as if I was a dopamine junkie and Facebook was the pusher of those sweet, sweet red circles with a number in them that meant someone, somewhere vaguely agreed with something you posted. I noticed I was not present in the moment with my newborn son, but rather my brain was hunting for the next quip to post or cute/smug/humblebragish picture to upload.

I quit cold turkey and have never looked back.

I'm off all social media today (except LinkedIn) and have weeded out a lot "friends" who really were just co-enablers in the dopamine rush hunt.
