Personal ARR, Following The Money, And Hiring Delegation
This is part of my 2024 personal goals review. By splitting the review into smaller blogs, I make it easier for readers to skim the main blog and easier for me to reference specific section directly from any focus area.
✅ Chats To "Follow The Money"
At the start of 2024, I improved my strategy by targeting the right personas and companies. I moved past my initial tendency to approach only easy-to-reach individuals and prioritized connecting with decision-makers who could make a real impact. This approach also led me to explore full-time opportunities, culminating in my transition to a product management role at FlexAI.
❌ Market And Monetize Resume Parser Product
After starting a full-time job in July, I paused marketing the resume parser product. I prioritized learning and growth in product management and running a startup over this side project. Despite limited attention, the product continues to attract users, and I remain interested in solving this problem in the future.
✅ Stable, High Income
Switching to this full-time role enabled me to meet my annual recurring revenue (ARR) goal.
✅ Use Money To Buy Time
I continued investing in delegating tasks to virtual assistants (Fiverr) and house help (Helpling). This included optimizing smart home setups, software development support, and creating dashboards. Additionally, I optimized meal prep (a.k.a batch cooking) and sought childminders to free up time for couple outings.
