Replying to @elonmusk
@elonmusk what’s going? @bot last week was “Holy Shit” and this week is “what’s this shit” with the exact same work, not only 50x less output but actual celebrar palsy. Please bring it back, if not the usage at least the performance

Unpopular Opinion: building in public is just chitchatting online with strangers looking for emotional support. Get back to building. Then start talking 🫣

Entrepreneur paralysis is a real thing. We’ve all been there, done that. More times than I can remember. Here are 5 simple tricks to break free from it and get moving again ( 🧵)

1/ First, stop overthinking every detail. You don’t need a perfect plan, just a good enough one. Launch something small (a feature, a test) and tweak it later. Done beats perfect every time.

Stop sweating over every tiny detail, trying to make it flawless before you hit ‘go.’ That’s a trap, perfectionism just keeps you stuck. (Speaking from experience 🤦🏽‍♂️ I am probably the world worst perfectionist 😒) Instead, hand it over to your customers, even if it’s rough around the edges, and let their real-world feedback mold it into something great. Listen to what they really think or need from your product. If you are feeling paralyzed by your big picture just start small. Pick one feature, share it with a handful of users, and ask, ‘What’s one thing you’d change?’ One path leaves you spinning your wheels; the other gets you moving forward, fast

What’s one piece of advice that has worked wonders for you while building in public?

One day they will ask you how, thinking they could do the same! Yet nothing will change because they don’t understand your “why”, the one that keeps you awake.

Don’t focus on what people on “X” say about your product! Focus on what your future clients need from your product. One is noise, the other one is feedback

A 3k+ per job skill is better than a 3k per month skill. Invest the time on the first one if you want to escape the rat race. Stability is the drug they give u to keep you sedated. The first option is like betting on yourself. The second one is betting on the system. Choose wisely

Need money? Learn a skill. Got a skill but no cash? Learn to sell. Can sell but don’t know what? Learn another skill. Got a skill + know how to sell? Go sell it. Problem solved.

Chasing VC Funding Is a Distraction Most Digital Businesses Don’t Need It to Thrive In the digital era, the obsession with raising venture capital is overrated and often detrimental. Most businesses can reach $5-10M in revenue through bootstrapping, leveraging tools like AI for efficiency, and focusing on traffic, organic reach, good branding and CRO to maximize existing traffic. VC funding forces you into a high-growth trap, where you’re pressured to scale to hundreds of millions, often sacrificing profitability and control. You can exit a $10M business for $30-50M and walk away with the same (or more) than a VC-backed founder who scaled to 9 figures after taxes and dilution. What’s your take? Do you rather to raise funds or bootstrap your way to millions?

Most Underrated Business Skill? CRO, the silent revenue booster that helps businesses make more by spending and doing less. A simple 1% more in conversion rate could double your business revenue with the exact same traffic or ad spend.

Unpopular Opinion: If you need to ‘close’ your clients on your products or services, your product or service isn’t good enough.

Yikes! Reminder to have multiple banks! @wise what r u up to?
Hey @Wise you have randomly shut accounts with millions of dollars in them. How can you freeze that money from a business that has been banking with you for five years? Please RT for visibility

Want your first Million Dollars? Here’s a dead-simple, no-BS framework that actually works: 1. Solve a Problem - Find something people hate dealing with—big or small—and crush it. The juicier the pain point, the fatter your paycheck. 2. Sell the Solution - Don’t just sit on it. Hustle it out there, scream it from the rooftops, slap it on a billboard, or DM it to the world. People won’t buy what they don’t see. 3. Reap the Reward - Cash flows when the fix fits. No fluff, no scams- just pure, hard-earned wins. That’s it. Three steps. No 12-week courses or pyramid schemes, just real value, real hustle, real money. Overcomplicating it is for suckers. What problem are YOU solving today? Drop it below and let’s get you paid!

In a fast-paced world, done is better than perfect. Launch your idea medium rare and let it cook while building. This is the way! #startup #business

Thought hustle was king? Turns out, timing beats grind. Launched a product in a dying saturated niche; crickets. Same effort in a rising trend? Goldmine. Lesson: read the wave, don’t just ride it. #BusinessTruths

Those who own their pain will outlast those who complain about it.
