    Only after building the app in his head for a year, did he write it in 5 hours. Overnight success takes time.

    Absolutely inspiring to see Dawson's journey from 9-5 to a $1M app. For entrepreneurs looking to emulate his success, remember the importance of validating your app idea with potential users before diving into development; it can save you months of work and significantly increase your chances of success. Focus on solving a real problem and the revenue will follow.

But I’m very fan about Dawson as on entrepreneur, he changes his hair color for blond to blanck, cut it, which is a good idea, and make very inspiring project.

    Why is everyone pointing out the obvious? 😂 Ofc, a person who has no coding experience or any skill whatsoever can make an app in 5 hours then end up making 1M.
    Take this story as an inspiration. You don’t know how to code? Then start learning! Don’t know anything about opening a business? Then go learn! Don’t know what problem to solve? Go look for problems.
