Part of a promo for movie about scamming. Recalling what I could have done to get rid of about $30K instead of falling for a deal too good to be true.

Together with @Omar Duyarlar we are working very hard on the last things before our launch of Halate.
The 1st of September we are finally fully launcing and we have been busy with some new content!
Excited to share the result soon!

Good luck
I hit $10K in earnings a few days ago and received so many messages asking what I did differently.
honestly, the only thing that really helped me was stopping the overthinking.I stopped thinking about all the possibilities. Stopped thinking about when it would happen. Stopped waiting for the perfect moment.
I just started taking action.

don't think too much. just do it.
I'm still not where I want to be. but building in public has opened doors and brought opportunities I couldn't have imagined few months ago.
the miracles you're looking for is in the work you're avoiding 🚀
Damnn mann soo cool
When u started Contra btw?
Recently shipped a lot of 1-day, 2-day or 7-day productions for product launch videos.
Of course, spending more time would enhance the end result.
Though, the power of shipping this fast though is that, if done right, it forces you to let go of minor flaws and focus on the core message.
By going through the entire production & launch cycle repeatedly,
you get faster, sharper, and more confident with every single video.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer for big budget projects where a lot of time can be spend on finetuning.
I get that.
There's just certain magic behind shipping fast.
What do you think?
Agreed there's magic in shipping fast, repetition builds instinct in a way that endless polishing never does. I'd push back a little on "letting go of minor flaws" though, how do you tell the difference between a flaw that's genuinely invisible to the client and one that's just easier to ignore under a deadline?
