ChatGPT won’t validate your ideas.

The marketplace will.

ChatGPT won’t pay your bills.

Your customers will.

Know when to use it. Know when not to.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

I bought Plaud AI.

Any tips?

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Deep uninterrupted work is the solution to most of your problems.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

I’ve been ghost banned.

The reason?

Being too keen with my posting.

50 posts in 2 days.
20 followers gained.

The third day my posts were blocked.

The lesson?

Don’t rely on X.

One minute it’s going well.

The next day they can take it all away from you.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Keep it simple.

You don’t need a productivity app.

You just need to work + network.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Google ads are great.
Facebook ads are great.

But getting in front of people?

That’s even better.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Absolutely love Japanese food 🍱

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Took a nap.

Sometimes you have to pause.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

@Dwriteway They make a big difference but yes the work is needed

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Is it good that X thinks my replies are automated?

Maybe I'm too keen.

@AishwaryaDevv Use as little as possible to build the solution.

Use most of it to get my solution known via marketing and networking.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

@Justhere11112 That's incredible.

How did you do it?

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Perfection is procrastination.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

I really do like Grok, but sometimes it goes off on one…

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Been crushing it with this brown noise today.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Be honest.

If your business is doing well, say it is.

If it’s not doing well, say it isn’t.

People are receptive to both.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

I’ll never stop saying it.

Cold outreach.

It’s the quickest way to grow.

I’ve just secured a client paying $860.

1 cold phone call.

< 5 subsequent emails of being genuinely helpful.

Sometimes you need to go after it.

[Rico @Ricobuilds_]

Perfection doesn't exist.

Launch your offering.

Get feedback.

Refine.

Sell.

Anything else is just wasting time.
