Being able to redirect your attention effectively is such an underrated skill. Marketers constantly switch between a wandering mind and a focused mind. Separating the good from great requires knowing when to stop creating and start shipping.

No strategy is ever perfect but it is better than starting without one.

Everyone relies on technology every day. The breakdown isn’t between people that are pro or anti technology, it’s between people that will accept exploitation in the development & use of tech, & those of us that believe we can do better. That demand we do better. #Luddite

That's it! Even the original Luddites were ok with 99% of technology — it was the stuff that was 'hurtful to commonality' they opposed. People are going to have a different sliding scale of what and how much they oppose, but the opposing of harmful outcomes is the important part

A great question, and I've met tons of tech workers who are similarly looking for answers And, imo, there are many: There are lots of ethical companies, research institutions, tech gigs at nonprofits etc etc — or! start organizing at the tech giant or corporation you work for
A thought I've continually had around this new neo-Luddite movement is: where can technologists who want to support this go to make a living? So many technical jobs rely on creating immiseration engines and close off avenues for solidarity.

Breaking down attention-hacking elements: • Story captures attention • Value retains it • Scarcity converts it • Shock captures attention • Curiosity retains it • Risk-reversal converts it • New captures attention • Easy and fast retains it • Proof converts it See?

Simple. Yet difficult. The key is in the gap.
“You can't get rich renting out your time. You can go to school and study how to make money, but there's no actual skill called business. You get rewarded by figuring out what society wants, but doesn’t yet know how to get, and becoming the person who delivers that, at scale.”

Small business owners need to realize the importance of telling their story. Especially in the age of Instagram. The number of everyday businesses driving more than usual returns simply because they create value regularly is wild. Don’t sleep on the power of story.

Every day you go without promoting your work -- You're taking away a chance for a new opportunity. Every day you promote your work -- You're increasing the odds that the future you will get lucky. Creation is great. But without promotion: It's often a waste.

Life is 1,000x better when you work with people who don't need to be convinced of your value.
