It's been a year since I started this Twitter account and dived head first into #nocode.

It truly changed the game for me.

Here are some reflections.

Empowerment

Prior to no-code I was just an ideas person... all talk and no action.

To make my ideas a reality was too expensive. It involved hiring a developer, or trying to learn coding (again).

No-code flipped this. Now building is... dare I say it... too easy?

Building makes me happy

2020 has been an awful year in many ways.

But the excitement of creating new things has kept my mindset positive. My friends think I'm weird as I'm more energised now than ever before.

Community

I don't know many entrepreneurs so don't have anyone to talk to about this stuff. Becoming part of the Twitter #nocode community has changed that completely.

I really value the friendships I've made with people across the world.

It's what the internet is for.

Learning by doing

Launching 15+ projects in the past year has taught me a huge amount about myself.

Strengths:
- Strong bias for action
- Happy to learn by failing
- Bubble

Weaknesses:
- Lack of structure and process
- Too lazy to validate ideas
- Easily distracted

Side-hustles are important

2020 has taught us that even the biggest companies are one pandemic away from failure. There is no such thing as a secure job.

I used to see side-hustles as an aspirational pipe dream, but now I see them as a sensible way to spread your risk.

Keep going

One year and 15+ projects later, I've made a total of £3,044.47 on the internet. Not enough to live on just yet.

I know I haven't yet found true product-market fit, but I feel I'm getting closer.

My goal for the next year is to reach £10k MRR.
