This review will be a little different. I will not review each and every to do item and see whether I managed to achieve my goals. I will take a broader look at the last month and whole year went. And also dive into some topics that are relevant to me. Reflection on my startup In December I did not manage to make any money with my startup.

Overview Note: The review is mainly regarding my work on remotenactive.com I’ve finally kickstarted a digital hub in November.

Note: This article was first published on 31.01.21 The last weeks have been quite a adventurous ride for me. On the day I launched my January product I had a power cut in my house. Yeah, a real one. Didn’t charge my laptop over night - 30% battery. No Electricity No Wifi. Nice. But, I’ll get to that in a bit. Let us start with the question of Why am I actually doing this stuff?...
