Want to know the one thing I’ve seen so many fail with, but that made me succeed at an endeavor?
It’s the minimalistic approach
Minimal in goals, minimal in execution
What does that mean?
It’s simple: Less is more
Goals:
Be minimalistic with your goals
When I tackle Google for example, I spread my first tries all over the place
But as soon as I find a weak spot, I’m laser focussed
I focus only on this spot
I poke it until it falls apart
That’s my only goal, just one single goal, pushing through that single weakness
While there are many weaknesses, I chose only this
I don’t do parasites, and expireds, and new domains, and PBNs, and bought links, and this, and that
Only ONE thing, just ONE
Execution:
Be minimalistic and simple in your execution
Most things aren’t that complicated, neither should yours
Start from the most simple, most minimalistic
When you test a new website, take the most simple template, no css, no Javascript
When you try a new linkbuilding strategy, use those links most easy to get
When you build a tool, a service, takes what’s most simple, most easy, with the least dependency
Remember: Dependency adds complexity
If things don’t work, only then add more complexity
Complexity is a distraction in a world already rich in distraction
Instead of having one thing in your mind you need to have ten in your mind
You don’t need a full fledged IDE for your project
Start with a simple editor
If that doesn’t suit your needs anymore, only then, add the feature you need
Add only what’s needed
If you work with a bloated IDE, full of functions you never use, you don’t follow the minimalistic approach
If you run after multiple opportunities, you don’t follow the minimalistic approach
If you need plenty of subscriptions to run your business, you don’t follow the minimalistic approach
Instead of some fancy cloud hosting, just install your own VPS
Instead of some fancy subscription, just install MySQL
Instead of some fancy IDE, just use Neovim
Instead of some fancy external libraries, just use the standard library’s functions
Keep things simple and while others drown in complexity and costs you’ll win
