I’m still mad about Covid (a lengthy thread).
1. I’m mad that we couldn’t have meaningful conversations about vaccine efficacy on any of the major social media platforms without consequences like our posts being taken down; being shadow banned; or even being deplatformed.

If I wanted to build a Twitter Audience in 2023
these are the 5 strategies I would follow

the internet is a vehicle that prevents creative people having to "force" work that is clearly not their wheelhouse
the problem is you can only figure this out after publishing an incredible amount of work
Highly recommend checking out #storyworthy by Matthew Dicks
Especially if NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR CONTENT

For all my Commie/Socialist friends who complained about my Joe Biden gas prices cartoon… you’ll be happy to hear that Agora is spending a lot of money on an ad that features more accurate numbers to sell an expensive investing newsletter

Do you direct mail your customers? Wouldn’t BUYERS be the best prospects for your more expensive offers — which might be worth spending a few extra bucks to reach via more a intimate media than email or ads?

A partner of mine showed me his simple 1-page letter that's allowed him to buy businesses in industries he has no expertise in... and get equity in over $100M worth of deals in the last 3 years. By the way, he's not even 30 years old. Mind blown. #dealmaker #directmail #doodle
How do your personal values impact your professional accomplishments? When values are clear, decisions are easy…
Fitness. Learning. Creation.

When proposing a project — step back to see the big picture:
1. What is the profit potential and what’s a fair split of the “pie”?
2. How much effort is involved and who is doing what?
3. What are the potential risks to reputation or revenue and how can you eliminate them?
In SALES — the focus is on “overcoming objections”
In MARKETING — it’s all about “irresistible offers”
In MANAGEMENT — the focus is on “operational objectives”
Where is your FOCUS right now? And is it the MOST USEFUL one?

Day 9. Business moves at the speed of trust. Thanks Stephen MR Covey

Day 8. A system works because it has a process. If you shit in a bucket, it’s going to sit there and stink — because it doesn’t have a sequence of events that reliably repeat.
SUCCESS is no different—there are rules that are more powerful than “plumbing” but operate the same.
Day 7. Why bother with ‘strategic visioning’ when no plan survives contact with the enemy? Especially when we all know failing to prepare means preparing to fail.
