Episode notes
Find What Feels Easy And Get Outside Confirmation
- Find the thing that's easy for you and get external validation that others notice it as valuable.
- Ask people "what did I do well?" and follow comments like "how did you do that so fast?" to spot hidden strengths.
Monetize The Process You Love
- Love the process, not necessarily the topic; identify the process you enjoy (e.g., puzzles) and map it to marketable work.
- Andrew loved puzzles and realized the process of deconstructing logic fit naturally into building Google Sheets solutions.
How A Late Night Office Problem Created BetterSheets
- Andrew became a Google Sheets maker by solving a coworker's sheet problem during late hours at a TV startup.
- He wrote his first Google script to move rows between tabs and the CEO soon told him to do more Sheets work instead of PA tasks.
