Everywhere I go, @alexhillman is there providing unbelievably helpful advice, whether it's about newsletters, writing, marketing, or product business. His book https://t.co/aOqBStlZ5g is kind of a work of art honestly, I really love it as a physical artifact.

One of the most valuable business & life skills is separating reactions – both positive and negative – from decisions.

Meditation and Buddhist teachings can be very helpful for learning and practicing this in lower stakes environments.

Other peoples’ time is essentially the most common commodity in business.

Time is easy to sell because demand is high, but it is difficult to price high for general tasks when it doesn’t really matter whose time is for sale.

Reader love from Personal MBA author (and friend!) @joshkaufman 🙏

“...important, thought-provoking ideas about entrepreneurship & business practice. The pages on creating & maintaining partnerships alone are worth the read.”

Try thinking of marketing and sales as two distinct processes.

- Marketing is where you fill up your basket with insights, connections, relationships, and trust.
- Sales is making strategic offers to people who trust you enough to buy.

If there’s a part of your business that you want someone else to do because you’re bad at it or just don’t like it that is great.

But you’re looking for an employee or contractor, not a partner.

Profit sharing is an extremely useful way to cut someone into the upside of a business without giving up equity or control.

The most likely thing to kill your business, is you.

That also means the most likely causes of failure are 100% in your control.

https://t.co/tYUcSrjEqe lesson of the day:

Freelancing with 5-10 clients, or a product business with 100-1000 customers, is SO much safer than a job as long as you treat it like a business and not a hobby.

No one client or customer can own you, or subsequently, ruin you.

Being willing to repeat yourself is a massively underrated way to succeed.

Things that attract crappy customers (eg demanding, flaky, short term thinkers) include:

- selling to vague audiences
- selling in marketplaces
- selling “quick fixes”
- pricing your products and services too low

[The Tiny MBA Book @thetinymba]

https://t.co/tYUcSrBfOO lesson of the day:

Taking outside investment means you’re serving two audiences at once: investors and customers.

If you’re lucky, they both want the same thing.

But what happens in situations and decisions when you can only serve one? Who wins?

https://t.co/tYUcSrBfOO lesson of the day:

Service biz's are 1000x easier to start than product businesses, but they’re much harder to grow past a certain threshold.

Start a service business. Raise rates to reclaim time. Invest that time in growing more durable revenue streams.

Painful and scary situations are inevitable in business, no matter how much you’ve planned or prepared.

JFDI anyway.

The hardest parts of being in business long term are all people problems.

Most people haven’t ever analyzed their own money psychology for habits and flaws that will harm their chances at business success.

If I gave you the assignment to make $5000 in the next 7 days, how would that make you FEEL?
