Available soon…

Seriously enjoying learning and refining this process

I’m reading so much, absorbing knowledge, and then seeing what happens when I fuck about too

The finish on this coin just from a bit of refining and a bit of learning is just next level 🤯

I’ve got so many ideas now..

It’s an old adage…

(But first of all…that loop was the bomb right?!? 😅😅😎😈)

But one I feel needs reinforcing:

‘You’re not paying for the time it takes me to make (insert product). You’re paying for the years it’s taken me to get to this point’

I don’t think there is a generally accepted “quote” for this, but most of the ones I found were generalisations around the same concept…

Why should someone be punished for efficiency, when that efficiency is the result of YEARS of practice/struggle/improvement/HARD FUCKING WORK?!

We live in a society where instant gratification is an expectation…people don’t want to wait, people are impatient, and people focus too much on cost and never enough on value!

If you buy something for £50 that lasts 1 year, the cost is less than something that costs £250. But if the £250 item lasts for 10 years…which is the better value? 

Are you a cost or a value searcher?
