the $500k career nobody talks about enough is being a broker. insurance businesses loans commercial real estate freight mortgages You connect two people who need each other, and cold email is how the best brokers find both sides. It might be the most underrated career in America.

2026 changed my life for good 👇 🚀 Turned Glasa from an idea into a $300k arr AI in 45 days. 📊 Grew puzzleinbox,com from $90k mrr to $130k mrr 📬 Launched our own Google and Outlook inbox marketplace 🤝 Started working with enterprise firms. 🌍 Started working with businesses across the US, UK, Canada and Australia 📚 Learned more about sales and distribution than in any year before Really glad I chose to build instead of wait, and I'm so ready for 2027 🤞

I think we're going to see a strange shift in startups. 1 founder AI agents 3 exceptional people will outperform 20 average employees in a lot of markets. Not because humans don't matter. Because the amount of leverage one person can have is becoming ridiculous.

Founder life: Monday: we're going to $100m Tuesday: we are completely fucked Wednesday: new customer Thursday: $100m again Friday: maybe $10m is enough

i think going from $1k to $10k MRR is mostly about finding a repeatable way to acquire customers but... going from $10k to $100k is a completely different challenge You need: retention reliable acquisition better onboarding strong operations a clear customer profile I learned this while scaling puzzleinbox,com glasa,io and our agency more revenue does not automatically mean you have built a better business

My definition of a successful founder has changed Before: $10M raised 50 employees Big office VC backing Now: $200k MRR Small team High margins Low churn Complete control

I changed engineers 6 times before I found @mo_allahham_ One engineer met someone on Tinder that week then told us he was having a baby and disappeared out of nowhere Another hijacked our GitHub repo and asked for money to give it back That taught me pretty quickly that finding someone who can code is not the hard part Finding someone you can trust who actually wants the same thing is There were a few moments where quitting would have been easier We kept going Now I think one thing matters more than almost anything early on Before obsessing over the product the stack or how fast someone can ship Find a technical co founder you can actually trust

ok so according to my feed: Cold email is dead Agencies are dead SaaS is dead AI will replace founders I just keep scaling my agency and saas using glasa,io to cold email :)

$10k/month is 5 clients paying $2k Focus on these: Lead gen • pick a specific type of business • find people who need what you sell • reach out with a clear offer Sales • understand the problem before pitching • explain what you will deliver • agree on a clear scope Onboarding • collect everything you need upfront • make the next steps obvious Fulfillment • deliver what you promised • build a process you can repeat The maths is simple but you still have to do the work.

signed 3 clients today for $8.5 k total. one came from cold email one came from reddit one came from referral always interesting seeing where people actually find us compared to where i think they will

10 clients paying $2k is $20k/month 10 clients needing 4 hours of your time every week is a full time job before you do any sales or admin the delivery hours belong in the business model too

i think picking the wrong co-founder can cost you more than building the wrong product. you can pivot a product. you can change your market. you can rebuild your distribution. but repairing a relationship after years of disagreements is a completely different challenge.

how I would approach the first 100 customers for a B2B product. 0 → 10 find people myself and stay involved in every conversation. I want to understand the problem well enough to explain the offer without hiding behind a demo. 10 → 30 look for similarities between the people who bought. Their situation and urgency matter more than trying to make the customer list look diverse. 30 → 60 Turn the repeatable parts into a process. Someone else should be able to understand how we find prospects and handle replies and get customers started. 60 → 100 put more effort into the channel already bringing suitable customers. Start testing another channel once we can give it proper attention.

Thank you for all the support. We have gotten 5 different offers for Glasa and will complete the acquisition in the upcoming weeks. The tool will be live for now and will be only accepting clients privately 1-1. We will be taking a different approach like licensing the software to other big software firms and agencies while using it internally. Again I have gotten over 70 dms and 20 plus calls. I am proud to have an audience that is this supportive.

before charging $200 per call understand what a customer is worth to your client a business selling a $500 service has different economics from one selling a $50k project ask about margins and close rates and repeat business choose a market where your service can make commercial sense

a service business i would test find contractors who send quotes but struggle to follow up manage the follow up process for them track which quotes are open answer basic questions bring interested customers back into a conversation test a $500/month management fee 10 clients would be $5k/month in revenue before costs the service is making sure potential work does not disappear into an inbox

The sad part of all this is the value of glasa. We already got multiple offers to acquire for large six figure checks close to 7 figures depending on exclusivity. And 20 plus buyers after the tweet. This is something I have spent 15 months plus on so a really hard decision… Let’s hope for the best.
