There is high value in pieces where the author uses himself as a case study in achieving something and provides a lesson for others to learn from. In this case, however, it just reads like braggadocio. What's the take-away for us?
My takeaways:
1. If your goal is to try and make money, being focused on one idea at a time is probably better than deep diving in to several narrow niches.
2. I shouldn't be discouraged by not (yet) generating income myself. Despite lots of stories of success and people telling you otherwise, it's a hard thing to do, especially if you work a full time job.
3. I'm really glad I don't bother with the effort of micro tracking my time like this. On the surface it seems appealing but after reading this it seems like it takes a lot of effort, and doesn't provide much value.
I wish the author compared his contracting value creation with his project's value creation.
