Design isn’t just pixels

It’s leverage. It’s problem-solving. It’s strategy. Leverage and credit aren’t just business buzzwords — they’re mindsets. It doesn’t really matter what you sell or do.

The key is using something to get the money out — legally, creatively, and smartly.

You can sell anything, do anything, as long as you know how to turn what you have into something more.

Take designers, for example. We think in systems. We design flows that reduce friction. We obsess over how things function, not just how they look and work smarter. That mindset applies everywhere — in business, in any kind of hustle.

Take property, for example. You can rent a unit, list it on Airbnb, and profit — without owning a thing. You use other people’s assets, other people’s time, and still grow. That’s leverage in action.

Sometimes, you don’t have to own everything or start from scratch. You just need to know how to use what’s already there.

Why the masters and gurus don’t mind sharing their “secrets?”

Because they know: most people won’t do anything with it. You can hand the same playbook to 50 people, 20 will call you a scammer, 20 will listen but do nothing, and maybe only 2 will actually execute it well.

The game isn’t knowledge — it’s doing and execution. That’s why they’re not afraid of sharing it.

A lot of people want shortcuts. They want passive income without building the system. They want to be rich overnight, they want to win the lottery or do nothing to get rich. That’s why so many lottery winners go broke — they never learned how to manage money.

It’s not about judging anyone. Everyone manages finances differently, and that’s okay.

So, how's my execution? What have I actually done?

I did a lot of shit to try out what suits me the best (Moonscape is the launchpad, remember? Balance between wealth & peace of mind, in my own pace.) and the results only time will tell. Let’s see after one or two years of writing this Moonshot Diary where I land, and what I’ve built.

On a personal note, I don’t need a financial advisor. I already have one. Please don’t approach me, spending hours trying to hard sell me insurance or investment plans.

Be my guest to judge and think I’m broke or dumb. Just — don’t sell to me. Time is so precious. I’ll reach out when I need to.

Also, we should be proud of our work. It’s a solid, powerful career. Probably it's cooler if you tell everyone you're selling in the first place. My current FA and many FAs are doing great — super wealthy, smart, and genuinely helpful. So I know how good this profession can be. It helps people and earns big bucks — both can be true.

Be proud, don’t push. No hard sells, no awkward catch-ups. Thank you.

Till next week,
