Being consistent doesn't mean not taking a day-off. Actually, taking days-off is the only way to stay consistent. Think of it this way: if you only breathe in and never breathe out — how long will you last?

What Play-Doh can teach you about building a successful startup (be a better writer/ create better content - choose your option 😁) Struck me as I played with my 3 yo yesterday

Ordinary founders tell the story of me ("my company, my idea, my plan"). Extraordinary founders tell the story of us.

The life of a founder is a daily fight against the storm. But navigating through the storm leaves us with knowledge and strength. Let's raise our sail and set off

We all want our product to be perfect. Ok, if not perfect then just not so bad. Are you aware that with this desire we are breaking one of the basic rules of mass production described by Andy Grove in High Output Management? What does it say? 👇

I’ve just figured out that the whole history of technological revolutions has been about our urge to connect to like-minded ones. Throughout the years, humanity kept on defeating space, then time to do just that. Now, we're out for the next ride. And here's the proof why: 👇

What an education system really lacks is focus on listening skils. Why keep on training to deliver speaches? We're already packed with information, creating new arrays just adds noise to the Universe. Everyone can speak up today, but so few can be endorsed for quality listening

@IntrovertNigel got a point, doesn't he? 😅

I get messages of gratitude from founders who purchased my Marketing playbook But today I got a very special one: it proves that some really care If you had this experience: a broken link, a wrong system feedback, etc. — take 2 min to notify the maker This is priceless!

You've been doing marketing for many years. What still never ceases to surprise you? I'll start 👇

Love those questions from a 8yo: — Mom, do you have 2 min? I wanted to ask something — Sure, shoot it out. — What's the meaning of life? 😳

What most of the first-time founders don't understand is that as the barriers to enter the market get lower ( #nocode, tons of coding courses, etc.) the cost of acquisition gets higher. You have to invest more now in the following currencies: cash, time, or your personal brand

While building a product don't constantly compare yourself with your competition. Don't follow the urge to "look more into their features". Features won't buy your product. People will. Instead of looking into something, talk to someone. To real people you are about to serve

If you're a SaaS founder finding customers is not the toughest thing. Finding customers consistently is. What's even tougher, you have to beat your own result every single month. And get better and better at doing this job.

Relationships are what make the world run. Don’t invest in marketing. Invest in relationships - and they will market your product

How to solve the "chicken and egg" problem while building a marketplace: 1. Choose 2000 suppliers you want to be on your platform (ex., good writers) 2. DM, tell that you're sending out free samples and ask their mailing address ➡️ 10% (200) will probably give it to you 👇

Many developers are obsessed with features. Many marketers are obsessed with trackable aqcuisition channels. The reason is one and the same in both cases: features and CPC are quantifiable. And both tell us nothing if the product or business is really good.

I wish we had not only public speaking lessons but public listening lessons as well xitter.cf/IntrovertNigel/status/…

Small content marketing tip: — Before writing a bunch of articles check out, do they answer the questions that someone is actually asking. Use alsoasked.com or answerthepublic.com to see the "trees" of public interests and the questions that are asked

There are 2 basic theories of decision making. — One says that we do rational choices. — Another one — that choices are intuitive. Why does it matter? Based on what you believe is the right one, you'll have to "push" your data through different loops in your customer's mind
