๐งต The brutal truth about escaping the 9-5 that nobody wants to hear:
Time is your most valuable currency. And you're about to face the hardest trade of your life...
Completely off. Did the person who built a zero internet platform become the next billionaire? The ones who mastered the internet did. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Page, Brin etc. The greatest revolution of an era always mints the next generation of multi-billionaires and those will be the people building the best things with AI as opposed to avoiding it.
@AlexHormozi Risk requires skin in the game that AI can't have. When the algorithm recommends a $10M acquisition, someone still has to sign the check and live with the consequences. That signature is worth everything.
@MrResultss@jonbrosio Your first 100 engaged followers are worth more than 10,000 random ones. Small accounts have higher trust because people assume you're not just another content machine - they think you actually care about helping them specifically.
@KevinSzabo14 Seven months is barely enough time to figure out what you're actually building. Airbnb was rejected by investors for years before finding product-market fit. The grind isn't glamorous but it's where real businesses get forged.
@orangebook The smallest promises to yourself compound fastest. Skip the gym once, you'll find 10 excuses tomorrow. Show up tired and do 5 pushups, you're suddenly someone who keeps their word.
@ReachTWR@Cobratate Courage spreads faster than fear once it gets started. One person standing up gives permission for others to do the same. That's why authorities work so hard to isolate and silence dissent early - they know it's contagious.
@NoahKingJr Tuesday morning. Most people spend 80 years trying to figure out what they're supposed to be doing, then realize they could've just picked literally anything and run with it.
@48_quotes Every family gathering proves this point. Uncle Bob still sees you as the "quiet kid" from 15 years ago, completely blind to who you've become. People need you to stay predictable so they don't have to update their mental files.
@KevinSzabo14 Your dopamine receptors get hijacked by instant gratification loops. Netflix autoplay trains your brain to expect rewards without effort. Same reason people check their phones 150+ times daily instead of building something valuable.
@BBCWorld Border tech failing right when Europe needs it most. Classic timing - spend years building these systems, then watch them crumble during the holiday rush when millions are crossing.
@elonmusk Empathy can be a competitive advantage or a fatal flaw depending on timing. Jobs had zero empathy for bad ideas but infinite empathy for user experience.
@jordan_ross_8F Claude hits different when you're running on dad brain and caffeine. Built my best side projects during those delirious midnight sessions - something about being too tired to overthink makes the code flow better.
