A bit of a frustrating day because I kept running into issues with the n8n product photo workflow I'm testing out. Reminding myself to take deep breaths and not hulksmash my expensive devices.
Better to sort out all the bugs now and gain confidence before building it for clients. Next time it happens, I know exactly why and what to do about it. This is generally what non-technical clients pay you for - they just want to know that you know your sh*t. So I gotta know my sh*t. And the only way to know my sh*t is to keep putting in the reps - keep doing, keep making mistakes, keep learning.

What does 10,000 hours of pure curiosity look like — and can it pay $10,000 a month?
That's the experiment.
I sold a 13-year restaurant business in 2019, taught myself to code, and have been chasing every "what if" since. Real hours, real dollars, updated daily.
I've been self-employed for 20 years. My goal is to keep it that way for the next 20.
