26-year-old gets comfortable with yet another failure by limiting risk
26-year-old Stefan Savevski is becoming more confident as an indie hacker thanks to a string of failures.
His latest failure — 2-year, 70-hour-per-week project — failed when his entire team finally burned out. But the learnings that he took away from the experience have already helped him in his most recent project, Armor Wallet.
It's pre-revenue, but he's making a living from it. Let's take a peek at his finances.
From freelancing to crypto startups
Stefan's journey to indie hacking started with freelance copywriting. He made his first $500 when he was 18 years old and immediately went on a shopping spree, buying gifts for his parents, grandparents, and friends.
The next month, he spent it all on himself. And the third month, he had money left over and didn’t know what to do with it. So he picked up a book on what to do with the extra money and started reading.
Then, he started saving. Then, he started investing.
Then, he started building companies. And now he's on his second crypto startup.

Life is all about lessons and trying
Regarding the split between his time, Alex Hormozi said "if you're not spending half of your week making content / marketing are you even trying"?
A persistent reminder of how important it is to get the word out.
Awesome!
