Questions For Solo Justin (Netizen Asks)

The truth is, working for yourself is wonderful.

It's also unbelievably challenging and complex.

But mid-day, 7-mile hikes followed by burgers and beer with my favorite person make it all worth it.

Hope to see you all building cool shit this year. pic.twitter.com/23Vv2tsKIR

Using Twitter, you can go from $0 online to $100k in one year.

- No career path
- No daily meetings
- No "can I have a raise?"
- No performance reviews
- No, "we don't have the budget"

Just heads down for 12 months.

A predictable system.

And uncapped earning potential.
