2025 Goals

December 13, 2024 by Neville

We asked people what their goals for 2025 are, and a lot of people asked MY goals.

Here’s a running list I’m adding to:

Personal goals for 2025:
– 3 to 6 mini adventures with friends.
– Start new technical project for fun and practice (currently re-vamping SwipeFile, 85% done).
– $Xm cash reserve.
– 1 new skill, likely software or AI related.
– Start getting X/YouTube payments every month. Directly paid for content.
– New book release (75% done)
– Create audiobook of existing book.
– Get the podcast cleaned up (remove swipes), and make the feed useful, grow to 100+ reviews, have a plan.

Copywriting Course Goals for 2025:
–  Make it even easier to see all your feedback in Content Dashboard.
–  Clip, Tag, and Organize your Office Hours feedback so you can see them in your Content Dashboard. We aim to have the best “Learn By Watching Others” program around.
– Reduce amount of time it takes to get a response in the forum (average low end is 2 hours, average high end is 6 hours generally due to timezone differences).
–  Put out 2 really good interviews per month. Clip them up for easy watching + distribution.
–  Better member directory for making friends, seeing others websites and social media. We have one but it’s 6/10. Want to make it 10/10 to create connections.
–  Make a better goal tracking system. We currently have a Goals Tracker, but want to make it amazing and very helpful.
– Make this so damn useful for people with existing businesses/projects they stay for 3 years or till they’ve outgrown it.

October 1, 2024 by Neville

These are my goals for October 2024:

Last month was a whole bunch of wedding stuff, and the main wedding is over (and went insanely great), and now there’s more wedding reception stuff this month.

It’s been fun doing all the wedding stuff, and I’m glad I kept up with work at the same time by front-loading everything.

The Backbone of the Internet

May 21, 2024 by Neville

Here’s an interesting thought:

“The Internet” still runs on servers and cables, and the companies that run the most bare metal on the internet are:

– Amazon: 32%
– Microsoft: 20%
– Google: 9%
– Alibaba: 6%
– IBM: 5%
– SalesForce: 3%
– Tencent: 2%
– Oracle: 2%

That means as you’re reading this on your phone/tablet/desktop, some bits and bytes travelled either by air or physical cable to a metal server likely controlled by one (or several) of the companies listed above.

You might be reading my words originating from a cluster of servers just like this!

Dinner with Peter Thiel

May 20, 2024 by Neville

I once had dinner with Peter Thiel…

….and whenever someone asked his opinion on something, he’d give a “spectrum of possibilities” for every answer.

Example: If I asked his thoughts on the future of the Dollar, he would respond:

“Ok, here’s 3 scenarios…”

Then he would give 3 different “scenarios” ranging from:
– Normal and boring scenario.
– Good and Bad mixed scenario.
– Crazy worst case scenario.

Then he’d backup each scenario with data or comparable past events.

He rarely thought something was black and white, but that everything was a spectrum of possibilities.

It was super cool to see his thinking in action!

Building New Products Pyramid

May 19, 2024 by Neville

This is a super simplistic framework for thinking about building a new product.

Many people come up with business ideas without enough demand, this framework ensures you’re going after an audience with a problem + demand + money:
