Built & exited: #1 volume Harley dealership (USA) • Funimation (sold to Sony) • bank to $500M • top-10 ski resort (still own) + international distribution.
These days I'm building an Italian gin company on social media, an AI-powered DTC spirits platform, and negotiating a TV streaming series. At this point I mostly notice the same quiet truths repeating. Here are a few ‘I wish I knew then’ observations on human nature. Thread 👇

@JesterJum Peaked thinking…be careful

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@garyvee Sometimes though it’s motivating and just feels good to bitch and complain WHILE you’re executing..

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

Often the overthinking itself is your subconscious trying to send a message. You’ve got a hunch about something, but you just haven’t put your finger on it yet. That’s why the loop keeps spinning.
Action still breaks it. But the small step can also help surface whatever your mind is actually trying to flag.

@thejustinwelsh Exactly! and taking full responsibility with zero recognition is the actual job. That’s what separates people who build something from people who just want the title.

Serious question...
If there were an Analog Town where digital technology simply didn't work...
Would you want to experience it?
👍 Yes
👎 No

@karunpal Good post. Adopt the mantra “it’s non of my business what other people think about me “.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@justnblock Yes it’s a great product and he does a great job.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@rickycarruth …and zero barrier to entry to be in that business.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@investingluc …and unless you were born rich that’s the only way.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@wisdomXplorer …and what others think of me is none of my business 😉

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@sharran …and protect your energy even more. That’s where the action happens.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@girdley …and the third generation will most likely piss it away. Enjoy your money…you earned it.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@YourPrimePath …and if it doesn’t happen at least once a week you’re not paying attention.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

What if the greatest opportunity you’ll ever find is one you’ve been ignoring in the mirror?

The bigger opportunity is usually hidden inside.

A talent never tested.
A courage never required.
A version of yourself life never forced you to meet.

@ohafford @SteveOnSpeed Point is the top performing 1% to 5% take care of the vast majority.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@ValaAfshar …and choose natural connectors rather than silent competitors.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@investingluc …and if it fuels your productive dissatisfaction then it’s not all bad.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@KurtSupeCPA …because kids need your presence not just your presents.

[Andreas1 @Andreas1]

@ManOfFocus_ @MindMatterMoney It’s also driven by productive dissatisfaction.

Productive dissatisfaction asks, “This isn’t good enough yet what do we try next?”
