I’m building an ecommerce retention agency from my dorm room.
🧵 Here’s what I’m learning in public:
Free business idea:
Treadmills that generate no noise when ran on (or at least considerably less sound that average)
Think of how annoying it is when you’ve got 30 people running on treadmills during peak hours at the gym.
Even noise cancelling headphones can’t muffle that sort of noise out.
Always hated the word “secret”.
There’s no secret to anything.
No one’s trying to hide anything from you.
You want to get in shape? Go to the gym and eat healthy.
Want to get rich? Build something that solves a problem.
Want to be a better communicator? Force yourself to talk to people.
You know what needs to be done.
Something that helped me avoid midday crashes is avoiding carbs at breakfast.
Try it if you’re experiencing the same.
Is it just me or is finding out that something was written/built/designed by AI automatically turn you off, even if you liked it at first glance?
I’m talking websites, PowerPoint presentations, apps, etc.
Having something completely human made these days feels like treasure.

How to manufacture your own "luck":
> Don't lock yourself in your room or your town 24/7. Go to business events, go to parties, go to a nice gym. You'll get "lucky" meeting successful people there.
> Post fire organic content. You'll get "lucky" with successful people and opportunities randomly popping up.
> Curate your social media feeds with successful and tactical accounts. You'll get "lucky" with ideas and strategies stumbling onto you while you're scrolling.
> Travel to new cities and countries as much as you can. You'll post an IG story and get "lucky" when a well connected person in the area reaches out to meet up.
> Listen to a business podcast or 1 hour of business YouTube videos per day. You’ll get “lucky” when your next big idea gets inspired from a random thing you heard in a random podcast.
> Test strategies and formats you came up with yourself instead of copying someone else. You'll get "lucky" every now and then by finding something nobody else is doing.
> Be a fun, lighthearted, approachable person. You'll get "lucky" with people approaching you who end up contributing to your business or your personal life.
