And the second one was, well, if these guys are making money, I probably can too.
So I sat down, wrote a book.
It was called The App Design Handbook.
And as an aside, I struggled to build a habit to write consistently.
And so I was like, I'm going to make an iPhone app to help me track this.
And I made this app called Commit, which isn't around anymore, but there's other apps like it.
You just say, hey, I'm going to do this habit every day.
And it just reminds you and then keeps track of the streak.
And so I said, I'm going to write a thousand words a day.
And I was at 80 days in a row when I published the book.
And the next day, the iPhone app popped up and said, are you going to write 1,000 words today?
And I was like, no, I finished writing the book.
And so I ended up writing a summary of how the launch went and all that, published it on my blog.
And then, of course, the app popped up the next day, as it's going to do, and said, are you going to write 1,000 words today?
And I was like, no.
And so I ended up writing another book.
So we're getting all the numbers.
But it was wild.
I just launched down this path of consistent writing for a long time.
But my goal from the book was I thought, okay, if I can get new clients and if I can make $10,000 over the lifetime of the book, that would be amazing.
