Deep uninterrupted work is the solution to most of your problems.

I’ve been ghost banned. The reason? Being too keen with my posting. 50 posts in 2 days. 20 followers gained. The third day my posts were blocked. The lesson? Don’t rely on X. One minute it’s going well. The next day they can take it all away from you.

I’ll never stop saying it. Cold outreach. It’s the quickest way to grow. I’ve just secured a client paying $860. 1 cold phone call. < 5 subsequent emails of being genuinely helpful. Sometimes you need to go after it.

Perfection doesn't exist. Launch your offering. Get feedback. Refine. Sell. Anything else is just wasting time.

They build offline. I build offline and online. Win-win.

Never write off your past experiences. Working in sales environments when I was younger shaped the growth of my business today. Without putting myself in those uncomfortable and awkward situations, I would not have learned how to sell. Value it all.

I just stumbled across @OnlineOrNot Sends you a notification when your website is down. Very handy and it's free 👌 Good to see my website is up (I thought it was down!)
