> I wanted to build a personal wiki with powerful ideas for creativity, but I struggled without a purpose bigger than myself.
You explained why I chose to run a solo company rather than just building stuff under my name — building a company (even a tiny one) is something bigger than our individualities. I found that the idea of a company keeps me on track during bad days, while if it were just me, I think I would give up.
Thank you so much for the continued support Karena, It's not wisdom, I wish it was, they're just my ideas and hopefully they're useful to you. I'm glad you're also sharing yours!
Something really gratifying that happened to me earlier this year is that I wrote a post that then caused someone else write a post, and both of our posts then caused another person (who I had originally quoted) to respond to both of our posts. And apparently, the person who wrote the first post reacting to mine had thoughts that she had been sitting on for years and only finally published them because I published my post!
We’re on the same wavelength. Good stuff. I have a massive amount of notes and key principles that I’ve complied in Roam Research over the years. Trying to think through how to best share with the world

Oh, that's a good reflection right there. Hadn't thought about it that way!
+1 that sentiment. Great words. Even better visuals, Ash! I am glad you decided to share your wisdom with the wider world. We all benefit.

This is awesome! 👏
