Permissionless projects = permissionless progress.

The internet makes it possible to build projects in public to validate demand in real-time.

Visualize Value didn't begin with a very specific business plan, it was simply a curiosity (philosophy, business, mindset) combined with a set of competencies (branding, design, marketing)

Remove yourself from the consideration set of other practitioners by putting your extremely specific point of view out into the world consistently.

Curiosity drives competence:

Let's say you're a graphic designer and you love basketball.

Commit to a project where you design a piece of media every day breaking down a basketball player's last performance, or a coach's philosophy, or a team's history.

By publishing this work, you build an audience of:

Sports fans/brands (to sell design services to)
Aspiring graphic designers (to sell scalable product to)

Or, let's say you're a financial planner and you love entrepreneurship.

Commit to a project where you articulate how different business models impact the long-term financial picture of an entrepreneur and their family.

By publishing this work, you build an audience of:

Entrepreneurs (to sell financial planning services to)
Other financial planners (to sell scalable product to)

The permissionless project you've undertaken is literally building a market for your services (and eventually your products).

Build once, sell twice.
