Let\u2019s find out how his company is helping thousands of customers increase their work productivity and what struggles Kamil faced during this time.<\/p>\n<p>So without further ado, let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: Hi Kamil, it\u2019s lovely to have you with us! It would be great to start by telling our readers about your background?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> I started programming when I was 13 years old and created my first programs. Went to the university of economics while also working on creating TimeCamp.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: What led you to start TimeCamp? What was your inspiration?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> I started with a different project but together with seed investors, we decided to make an automatic time tracking app, as the idea that time can be captured automatically was very interesting. I am also a data and tasks freak. I&#8217;ve been tracking every minute on the computer since 2009 :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: You started out as a programmer, then became the founder of TimeCamp, How did this transition happen?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> When I started programming as a teenager I was always thinking about building practical applications that people use. For example, some games, applications to change computer wallpapers with calendars, and some pranks. When I went to a bigger city, I started attending startup communities meetings and went to one of the seed capital investors to start something together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: What were the challenges that you faced at the start of your journey, how did you overcome them?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> Finding the time between studying and starting a company. Finding first customers. Making the first scalable marketing &amp; sales process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: How far has TimeCamp come since the start of its journey? Any particular achievement that you are most proud of?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> In general, I\u2019m really happy that I do what I do. Always need to improve myself, as the company grows. It is never boring. When I look that we build something hundreds of thousands of people use every day it\u2019s really satisfying. Also looking at the team of about 45 great people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: Let\u2019s take a break from work, how do you enjoy your free time? Any particular activity that might fascinate our readers.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> Firstly meditation &#8211; I believe it changed my life. I can disconnect and look from the perspective. Secondly motorcycles &#8211; trips without a clear agenda and being in nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: Who\u2019s the one person that inspires you the most?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> Ray Dalio recently, the concept of writing principles to follow in life and business resonates with me. Also, he put a general framework for constant learning and iteration I really like.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: Please share your pro-tips with our readers?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kamil:<\/strong> Instead of saying \u201cI\u2019m certain\u201d, \u201cprobably\u201d say \u201cfor 85%\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m 75% certain that this is true\u201d.<br \/>\nUse Excel, database, or Airtable as your todo list with columns duration, start time, with whom, priority (1 important and urgent, 2 important not urgent, 3 not important urgent, 4 not important not urgent)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fahad: Please share an image of your workspace with our readers.<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Kamil Rudnicki workspace\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-40183\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.socialchamp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image1.avif\" width=\"660\" title=\"\"><br \/>\n<strong>Fahad: Now it&#8217;s time for our Rapid Fire Round.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Rapid Fire Round\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<table style=\"text-align: center; margin: auto; font-family: 'Poppins';\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background: #ff9900; color: white; text-align: center;\">Fahad<\/th>\n<th style=\"background: #ff9900; color: white; text-align: center;\">Kamil<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Tea or Coffee?<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Tea<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Twitter or LinkedIn?<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Twitter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Traveling or Watching a Movie?<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Watching a movie<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>I am thankful to Kamil for sparing us the time to discuss his journey.
