WHY I WROTE THIS MANIFESTO
Several years ago, I spent $10,000, and 9 months of my time to create a software product that I never launched because it quickly became bloated with features and riddled with bugs.
A year later, I spent $47.50 to create and launch a product in 3 hours. It sold the first copy within 10 minutes.
Today Keynotopia is being used by more than 100,000 designers, entrepreneurs and product managers all over the world, and was mentioned by thousands of influencers, bloggers and news outlets.
My journey from a full-time employee to a freelancer, to a failing entrepreneur, and to a successful one later has taught me valuable lessons that I wish someone had told me when I first started.
I have decided to put those lessons together into a manifesto for myself to remember, and share them with others who might find them useful.
