शैडोइंग अभ्यास: How I Work: $77K/Month Solopreneur - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें
पाठ बनाया जा रहा है...
1
So basically I work all days, all year long.
2
I love my day so much that I want to repeat it every single day.
3
I don't like Sundays because my phone is actually making stuff.
4
So I don't see why I would take a day off.
5
And when I go on holiday, usually I go mad.
6
I've met like hundreds of people who talked about their brilliant idea.
7
The idea is in their head or maybe on their computer, but they haven't shipped it.
8
And on the other side, I cannot recall a single person who told me like, hey, you know, I have tried 10 times and it never worked.
9
Just remember to keep shipping.
10
Hey, I'm Mark Liu.
11
I make $77,000 a month as a solo entrepreneur.
12
I have built 35 startups and people often ask me, how do I get so much done?
13
So today I'm excited to tell you about how I work.
14
My days might sound boring for some people, but I leave the exact same day almost every day, 365 days a year.
15
I always start the day with a coffee and breakfast with wife, and then I hit the gym right after.
16
We train at the gym together.
17
These days we're practicing for high rocks.
18
We did a little bit of a sled push and some squats and some running.
19
Then we go back home.
20
That's the moment where I start to put myself in work mode.
21
I don't check my phone, I don't do emails, I don't go online.
22
I stay completely offline at the beginning of the day.
23
I just want to have this big block of time that is usually four to six hours where I really deep work.
24
The reason that you don't check social media is because I feel like there is so much going on at the moment, especially with AI, that I get this fear of missing out, that I'm not fast enough,
25
that I should do more.
26
And then it's one hour later and I lost one hour of my day
27
and I feel like I like some motivation to go back to work and stuff.
28
The deep work is basically a moment of time that I protect because that's what got me here.
29
And I know that I need to get this deep work done if I want to go further.
30
So this little boy here is completely off because that's the worst enemy.
31
And then I open the computer here at this desk.
32
I open my code editor and I spend the next four or six hours coding stuff.
33
So I only create things.
34
I don't check my emails.
35
I don't check customer support.
36
Because sometimes you read an email that something is broken in my app and I have to fix it.
37
If that happens at the beginning of the day, then I'll fix this bug instead of actually working on what truly matters for me, which is creating more stuff.
38
I shipped about 35 startups and on those 35, 30 of them are nothing.
39
They don't work.
40
They barely don't make any money, they barely don't have any users.
41
So the hit rate is about 5%.
42
So if you want to roll the dice once and stick with that dice roll, nothing crazy will happen happen but if you keep playing you keep playing playing playing
43
and playing at some point one dice one roll of dice
44
will work you will have happy users you'll start to make
45
money you can leave your job you can roll the dice more often
46
when i was a student if you tell me
47
that my routine is waking up at 6 a.m
48
and working all day on my computer
49
and not playing video games i will think you know i'm crazy stupid
50
but the thing is at some point i started to see
51
people liking the work i started to see my apps having users were happy about the product
52
and then the the routine came in place as a part of like, oh, okay, so if you stick to a routine, then more of this will happen, so stick to it.
53
Now, I really try to think less about what would be the output.
54
I just try to think, what is the thing I want to exist?
55
So recently, I launched this little macOS app
56
that analyzes your posture with a webcam and tells me
57
if I'm sitting straight or if I'm just was slouching like a shrimp like this.
58
I did that because I spent so much time at my computer and I know it sucks to sit like a shrimp.
59
So I was like, oh, this app must exist.
60
And it's a new type of app for me.
61
It's like an electron app, it's macOS, so I'm not used to macOS apps.
62
So before I released it on that day, I wanted to do a last few checks, like is the licensing system works?
63
When people get a checkout, do they get the email?
64
3 p.m ish, I think I launched the app.
65
So it went live with the tweets.
66
I also shared on LinkedIn, Threads, and Reddit, and got the first customers.
67
It was amazing.
68
I think Thursday we did about a thousand in revenue.
69
Got also some good feedback.
70
People started to post stuff on Twitter.
71
I started to see my app, A News, in my users' hands, which is the ultimate happy moments for me.
72
There's the other type of apps that I like to make.
73
They spark my curiosity.
74
For instance, one of them was TrustMR.
75
And it started because I saw a tweet from Peter LaBelle that say that so many people are faking their revenue.
76
But I feel like, oh, you know, it's fun.
77
Like, what if I make a little board
78
that showcases all the verified revenues of all those people
79
so we can see who is a scammer and who is telling the truth.
80
And just like this was born an app that turned into a marketplace now that in itself, it makes like 35 plus K per month.
81
I have a big list of things I have to make.
82
So I have a few apps that are already running.
83
Among them, there are features, like important features I have to ship.
84
Initially, I didn't have many problems.
85
But as you start to make stuff, you will get feedback from people, you will discover problems, and that will give you ideals.
86
Now I have a to-do list that even if I leave 200 years, I wouldn't be able to make all my ideals real.
87
Every single day, at the end of the day, I have more stuff on my to-do list than I did at the beginning.
88
And then once I'm done with the cycle, so now I've released this macOS app, I can move I will just go over my list and there's this gut feeling of like among those features,
89
among those things, which one would have the most impact on the users, which one would make me the happiest.
90
I will just pick whatever comes next.
91
We're always afraid to show our new creation and your ideals to the world in the first time.
92
Just keep in mind that that's the biggest barrier to your success ever.
93
There's this little voice inside of your head telling you that it's too early or it's not good enough.
94
It's a bit like going to the gym for the first time.
95
You see people on Instagram, they live super heavy and then you enter the gym, you don't know the machines, you don't know how it works and all that.
96
But the moment you step in and you do one session, everything is not new.
97
It's like you've done it and then the next session is completely different.
98
So it's a one-time fear.
99
You kill 80% of it by doing it once, and then the remaining 20% will just kill it with more iterations, but it just becomes easier and easier.
100
The only way to validate an idea is to ship it with a buy button.
101
Now with AI that it's even easier to ship stuff, it's even more true.
102
I have a slightly controversial take on AI, is that there's a bunch of people who are obsessed with productivity and want to do more.
103
You know, they start to have their open-clothed teams of agents running in the background.
104
But I think the single KPI that matters hasn't changed in the AI era.
105
There's still the number of things you ship.
106
Right now, my setup is the most boring setup ever.
107
Like, I code, I see my same code editor, and on the right side, I have the chat.
108
Single-threaded, like, I talk to an AI, it makes a new feature, I release it, I move on to the next one.
109
I've shipped like 300 features on my marketplace in the last three months
110
and six new apps this year in 2026 with it.
111
And people fall for the productivity thing trick
112
when in fact you could do a lot of things with one of the first versions of ChatGPT
113
and a basic code editor.
114
Towards the end of the day, maybe 4pm, I'll go online, I'll check Twitter, I'll check my emails, I'll do the work that I find a little bit more boring, something that is less creative.
115
5.30 dinner, usually we spend way too much time eating
116
because we watched again Better Call Saul
117
and then usually we have a nice walk and that's the moment where I switch everything completely off, like very radical, so I turn my phone off,
118
I go offline, the computer is off, there's no talk about work.
119
Sometimes we watch a movie, sometimes we read a book before going to bed, and we go on bed at the exact same time every single day at 9pm.
120
It's a bit religious.
121
Before bed, we have a wind-down routine that lasts 30 minutes to one hour.
122
We start to dim the light at home, and then when you go to bed, you fall asleep instantly.
123
I never set up an alarm, and I would always wake up around 6 to 7.
124
Since I was a student, like the first 10 years, like 18 to 28 years old, I would always be sleepy.
125
Like I would be at my computer and as soon as I had to focus on some tasks, I would fall asleep.
126
With a good sleep, I feel like I'm so much more emotionally stable.
127
I have like super locked in focus.
128
Like I could spend like four hours on the same thing.
129
So I think sleep is really underrated.
130
I think it's so important.
131
One thing I see people making that mistake too often is they got this idea, this brilliant idea, they spent six months shipping it and once they ship it, they got a few users,
132
maybe they make a little bit of money online.
133
That is like become their very pet project.
134
It becomes very important for them that they're so emotionally attached to it
135
and they will still focus on something
136
that maybe it will take three years until it takes off and pays enough for you to quit your job.
137
But it's much easier to keep rolling the dice
138
and ship a new idea because
139
that idea might You can take off like 100x faster than the previous one and every time you ship something new, you learn more stuff, you share about it so you grow a lot of audience of people who discover your work.
140
So I really think that playing the game of launching stuff is the recipe to have something
141
that at some point will work out.
142
Shit.
143
Don't you dare give up.
144
Don't you dare give up.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | I've met · haven't shipped · have tried |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | people who talked · person who told · hands, which is |
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | is broken · was born · are obsessed |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 41 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे don't, I'm, I'll। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: shrimp /ʃɹɪmp/, emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, iteration /ˌɪt.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, showcase /ˈʃoʊˌkeɪs/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: emotionally /ɪˈməʊʃənəli/, productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, iteration /ˌɪt.əˈɹeɪ.ʃən/, underrated /ʌn.dɚˈɹeɪ.təd/, curiosity /ˌkjʊɹ.iˈɑ.sə.ti/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: productivity /ˌpɹɒdʌkˈtɪvəti/, tweet /ˈtwiːt/, validate /ˈvæl.ɪ.deɪt/, webcam /ˈwɛbˌkæm/, verify /ˈvɛɹɪfaɪ/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: startup /ˈstɑɹtˌʌp/, slouch /ˈslaʊ̯t͡ʃ/, sleepy /ˈsliːpi/, spark /ˈspɑɹk/
- /æ/ — “ऐ” से ज़्यादा खुला: validate /ˈvæl.ɪ.deɪt/, webcam /ˈwɛbˌkæm/, attach /əˈtæt͡ʃ/, analyze /ˈæn.əˌlaɪz/, barrier /ˈbæɹi.ə/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर shrimp, marketplace, tweet जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
