Slow Changes are Real changes

"The path of entrepreneurship is not a hundred-meter dash — it's a marathon through fog and fire. Stamina, not speed, wins the race."

It’s Getting Clearer Now

June 14, 2025 – Mohd Maaz

Things are getting wild, but I’m starting to see the light. For months, I’ve been chasing the idea of “winning” fast—building mazmate.com, mastering AI automation, and landing clients in a sprint. But today hit me hard: winning in a few months? That’s a myth. Entrepreneurship isn’t a 100-meter dash; it’s a marathon through fog and fire. And you don’t win by sprinting like a rabbit—you win by moving like a turtle, steady and relentless.

This doesn’t mean slowing down your learning. I’m still diving deep into tools like n8n and exploring platforms like Bolt.new to build smarter workflows. But it does mean easing the pressure to do everything now. Small, consistent steps are the secret to long-term wins. That’s the mindset shift I’m embracing today.

Lessons from the Agency World

One big realization came from studying agencies. Most start strong, cash in quick, but hit a wall—what I call the inflexion point. It’s that make-or-break moment where growth stalls, and many give up or pivot to selling courses or digital products. Why? Because scaling alone is brutal. The key to crossing that point? A team. A solid team keeps you consistent, handles the chaos, and pushes you through. Without one, you’re stuck in the grind, burning out. This got me thinking about how I’ll structure mazmate.com as it grows—solo for now, but planning for a team when the time’s right.

Small Wins, Big Clarity

Today wasn’t just about mindset shifts. I made progress:

  • Connected my blog to a custom domain: Check out blogs.mazmate.com! It’s a small step, but seeing my ideas live on my own corner of the internet feels like planting a flag.
  • Explored Maker School: I’m curious about their approach to building and launching products, but I’m not sold yet. I’ll take it slow, test the waters, and see if it aligns with my vision for mazmate.com.
  • Deepened my automation knowledge: I tinkered with a new n8n workflow that could save small biz owners hours on repetitive tasks. More on that soon!

The Marathon Continues

Every day, the fog clears a bit more. I’m not rushing to “win” anymore—I’m building, learning, and taking small steps toward a big vision. If you’re on a similar journey, here’s my advice: embrace the marathon. Pick one task to automate, one skill to learn, or one connection to make today. Those tiny moves add up.

What’s one small step you’re taking today? Drop a comment or DM me on Instagram or X—let’s keep each other accountable!

Keep running, slow and steady,

Consistency is the Key , And i didn't followed

  I Lost a Month — But Not My Vision It’s July 24, 2025. I’ve done… nothing in the past month. Just scrolled, wandered, procrastinated. I let consistency slip away from me — again. And honestly, it sucks. But I’m writing this to remind myself — and maybe you — that confusion is part of the process. Not every day looks productive. Not every week feels inspiring. Sometimes, you just stare at a screen wondering what the hell you're even doing. But through all this, one thing became clearer than ever: I want to build robots that feel. Robots that understand human emotions — maybe even more deeply than some humans do. Yes, it sounds crazy. Maybe impossible. But what great thing didn’t? I don’t know exactly what to do next. I don’t have a 5-step plan. But I do have a direction. And right now, that’s enough. So here’s what I’m going to do: Reset — not regret. I’ll stop beating myself up and just start again. Small steps. One tiny move toward my vision every day. Doesn...

A Big Day in My Journey

  A Big Day in My Journey Today is quite a big day for me — not just because of what I did, but because of how I showed up. I’ve decided I’m going to share every obstacle from my life here, and today marks another step in that journey. One of the biggest wins was that I followed my calendar around 80%. That might not sound perfect, but it’s huge. The closer you follow your calendar, the more progress — and eventually money — you’ll make. That’s something I truly believe now. If you really want to grow, you’ve got to prepare your day in advance and then stick to it. Time matters. Planning matters. The more you commit to your calendar, the more control you’ll have over your time and your goals. I also learned something powerful from Shan Harif inside Agency Insiders. He taught me what a real agency actually is. It’s not just about hiring people to do your tasks. A real agency means working with a team — people who believe in your mission and move with you. That mindset shift is i...

Truth

 Hope you all are doing well. I haven’t been consistent with myself lately. I started this blog to share my daily journey, but I haven’t been following through. Honestly, I feel like I’m just wasting time instead of making progress.
