Your bookmarks are full of shit you said you were going to try.
A skill you wanted to learn or something of value that will make you money.
You saved it feeling motivated then carried on exactly like you were, do you see the problem?
At some point you have to be willing to put in the work without wondering why you're not making it.
The mentality has to change, and it has to be right now. We're moving at 100kmh in crypto, alongside AI advancing, and there is zero time to fucking waste by telling yourself you'll get to it later.
You can figure shit out along the way once you've actually started.
Go back to one of those saved bookmarks and give it an actual go.

A letter to my former self on how to succeed in business.
Growing a business is all about FOCUS + CONSISTENCY.
20% of inputs dictate 80% of your results.
Doesn't matter if it's info, ecom, products, or services...
Find the 20% of inputs that drive 80% of results.
Then maximize input volume.
Assess if the current inputs are creating the expected output.
If not, alter input. If yes, keep going.
This is called a feedback loop.
Then, stay consistent over time. Set daily/weekly input targets. Then never miss a day.
The guy who works out for 20 minutes everyday for 10 years will be in better shape than the guy who works out for 3 hours when he "feels like it".
Don't get distracted by shiny objects or new tactics.
STAY, consistent.
Consistency is a funny thing in that you can only really experience it in retrospect.
Anyone can be disciplined for a day.
But one cannot be consistent for a day.
So find the 80/20 of your business.
Then show up everyday. Never miss a day.
Watch what happens in a few years.
Don't compare yourself to others today, compare yourself to who you were yesterday.
Have faith and stay humble.
Be the dumbest person in the room and learn from everyone around you.
Enjoy the journey.

Whop has raised $200M in Series D funding at a $5.1B valuation, backed by @sequoia and @shopify.
It really feels like we are barely touching the tip of the iceberg in a market larger than anyone can imagine.
We first launched Whop as a better way for us to sell sneaker bots, one of the most niche types of desktop software out there.
Total TAM? Probably $20,000 per day.
Who cares, tiny market.
But, what people discounted is the idea that there were actually 70,000 other markets exactly like that one.
Beyond the investment itself, I am especially excited to welcome legendary silicon valley investor @dougleone to our board of directors. Doug and the sequoia team are nothing but a brilliant, resourceful, and principled group of people.
My co-founder Cameron and I started building on Shopify when we were 13 years old. Shopify is one of the most impactful all-in-one cloud ecosystems ever created; @tobi has pioneered modern entrepreneurship the way we know it and we are thrilled to have him in our corner.
We have a tenet at Whop to be the dumbest in the room and I am very grateful that this has recently become a lot easier.
We are focused on markets, scale economies, and progressive media. If that is up your alley, please message me directly.
The $200M raised will support our expansion as we build economic infrastructure for the next century, continuing on our mission of delivering everyone an income.

How to build an ecom business that actually pays you along the way:
1. Get really good at direct response
Understand your customer and learn to make ads, offers and landing pages that sell. If you suck at acquiring customers, you’re ngmi
2. Have good margins and know your numbers
Preferably 75%+ after COGS and 60%+ after fulfillment.
Track your unit economics daily.
Know what you can afford to pay for a customer and what’s left after all costs.
3. Stay lean
Learn how to implement and use AI across your whole business (creative, ops, supply chain, customer service, email, etc) before throwing more people and expensive agencies at problems.
You can get a shitload done with a small team.
Keep overhead low, both people and software.
4. Have a plan for getting people to buy again
Could be subscriptions, promos, limited editions or new product drops.
Give customers a reason to come back.
And ofc, a product worth buying again and a good experience. No retention flow can replace those.
5. Negotiate every major line item
COGS, shipping, fulfillment, software.
Both prices AND payment terms.
As volume grows, stop accepting the deal you got when you were tiny.
Lower costs and better payment terms free up more cash to take out or reinvest into growth.

Anyone can give you a course. Anyone can add you to a group chat.
But in GTE, people actually notice when you show up, and they notice when you don't. Your wins get celebrated. Your questions get answered. Your worse days get picked up by someone who's been there.
You're not a username in a feed or a name on a member list. You're someone we're rooting for.
That's the difference between a Skool community and a Skool family.
A community gives you access. A family gives you people that help you win.
Vito retweeted
We got a lot of new members joining GTE
So I decided to drop a 💣
BIG NEWS: The NEW “Desire To Scale” System Is HERE! 🔥
Man...I am so FUCKING excited for this you have no idea.
I have been working on this for the last few months. And in between traveling for family stuff and a hectic schedule to say the least, I have finally completed it today.
I give you: The Desire-To-Scale System.
THE fastest path to $1k/day. No question about it.
Many of you have already seen it in Skool. However, now it is finally ready for use.
This is not simply a bunch of "new videos" or "new tactics".
It is a complete overhaul and rework of the entire methodology from the ground up that is designed around maximizing speed, efficiency, and of course, results.
In short, with this new system you can:
• One-shot all research docs and upload into a project to write ads in <1 hour (which includes scraping Reddit forums, and building huge databases of manual research WITHOUT Perplexity piping you for usage)
• Focus on what actually matters to get to $1k/day ASAP, which is testing new concepts, observing data, identifying bottlenecks, and testing more ads
• Set targets with clear kill/cut points to eliminate wasted spend and maximize speed of execution on new concepts
• Complete iterative feedback loops to turn breakeven ads into "winners"
• And a lot more
I will be adding even more videos that demonstrate how I'm maximizing efficiency. I'm using ChatGPT to swipe, write, and even launch ads inside of Facebook as well.
Building this was as much about what I got rid as what I added.
And it really took me realizing what makes any system great (including the first versions of ours).
Simplicity.
As few moving parts as possible.
And a clear direction and focus on what actually matters.
And for us?
That's
• Validated products, PDPs, & Offers
• Validated markets/desires
• Optimal positioning (sophistication & awareness)
• Writing scrolling stopping hooks
• Understanding metrics and completing feedback loops
• Research, ideating, and testing new ad concepts
And as usual, I will be using my own store as the proving grounds for everything. So it’s not just theory, it working with my ad spend too.
And straight up, this is the least amount of work I’ve ever done to hit $1k/day on a new store. 😂
So what’s next from here?
With Desire Testing done, I will be working through angle testing, landing pages, and scaling over the next few weeks and releasing those modules as I complete them.
The original “The Course” in the classroom will be archived in 24 hours. It will be updated to become “Product Research & Store Design”. I will keep the current product research + conversion rate maxxing modules in there. But anything to do with research + ads, will be in “The Desire To Scale System” course.
This also means that “The Desire To Scale System” is THE most updated course material.
(Don’t be discouraged if you think you have to spend hours running research prompts and shit again. Takes less than an hour and you can one shot and walk away from your computer lol.)
So that’s enough yapping.
And as always, thank you to each one of you for making this community what it is!
We are so back.
Vito retweeted
So the ideal approach.
You can work to make ads for someone else first in a community like Ecom Talent, so you can build skills at the same time build up capital.
After that, we run a beginner community called Originsas well. It depends on how much skill you currently have and how much capital you have as well.

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models.
For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.
We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities
SpaceXAI and @cursor_ai are now working closely together to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.
The combination of Cursor’s leading product and distribution to expert software engineers with SpaceX’s million H100 equivalent Colossus training supercomputer will allow us to build the world’s most useful models.
Cursor has also given SpaceX the right to acquire Cursor later this year for $60 billion or pay $10 billion for our work together.

Running an ecom brand is genuinely one of the hardest things you can do online.
But there's a way to make it significantly less hard.
Most guys scrape together $5K-$10K, build a store, start running ads, and slowly watch that money disappear on products that don't convert and ads that don't work.
Then they hit zero and start over.
Seen this happen over and over again.
The smarter move is learning the skill that actually determines whether any ecom brand succeeds or fails before you spend a single dollar of your own money.
Making ads that sell.
Understanding why people buy things. What hooks someone in the first 2 seconds. How to take a cold stranger and turn them into a buyer before they scroll past.
And the best way to learn that skill is by doing it inside real ecom brands first.
Watching how winning brands test creative. How they scale what works. How they think about their customer. How they go from $100K months to $1M months.
And getting paid the entire time.
So when you finally launch your own brand, you're not figuring it out anymore.
You have capital saved instead of burned.
You have skills proven on real brands with real money. You know what makes people buy because you've been making people buy things for months.
That's the unfair advantage most people trying to build an ecom brand will never have.
Because they were too impatient to build the foundation first.
Ecom is hard. But it's a lot less hard when you actually know what you're doing before you start.
Learn the skill. Get paid while you learn it. Build toward your own brand from a position of knowledge and capital.
That's the play.
