@tax_oz @TheKouk Absolute dickhead he is

@lesstenny Who is this absolute flop of a human being? Surely this is a joke right?

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

@lesstenny You are an absolute idiot. Why would people want to see house prices drop is beyond me. The whole idea is to build more homes so there is a wide variety of homes and get more people in. The young people are first to lose their jobs in a downturn.

@mediumwarmspur @TruthFairy131 Check what just happened in diamond bay - horrible.

Some decisions cost you money up front - but build trust for life.

Jeremy Cabral made the call to show non-paying products on Finder.
Less revenue, more trust.
That’s how you build a business that lasts.

Episode 4 of #NeverNotBuilding is live.
I sat down with Tim Fung, founder & CEO of @Airtasker, to unpack what it really takes to build one of Australia’s biggest startups.
🎧 Watch now on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

I’m not everyone’s favourite boss, and I’m okay with that.
If you’re trying to please everyone, you’ll end up leading no one.
My style’s blunt, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable, but it works.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

I did this one controversial thing when I started my business.
I changed the invoice number to make it look like we had more clients than we did.
But in the early days, perception matters. And sometimes, you’ve got to create the momentum before it exists.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

From doing Airtasker jobs himself to scaling a global marketplace. Tim Fung’s story is a masterclass in startup grit.
No silver bullets. Just relentless building.
🎧 Trailer live now. Full episode coming soon.

There’s power in knowing that something in the world exists because you refused to let it go.

Maybe it's a product, a team, a culture, whatever it is, it wasn’t there before. You made it real. That’s not just business. That’s legacy.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

Not everyone gets the same starting line.

But if you’re given a shot, the job is to earn it, and expand the door behind you.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

The truth is: you can’t automate your way out of bad leadership.

I don’t care how good your AI is, broken culture breaks your business faster than bad tech ever will.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

It’s okay to feel like you’re not qualified enough to run your business.

But remember:
Most successful people started with zero clue... and figured it out under pressure.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

The hardest part about building something is pretending you’re fine while everything’s on fire behind the scenes.

➡️ Most founders master that part early.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

AI is fast.
Your competition is faster.

If you’re still "figuring it out," they’re already using it to win customers you haven’t even met yet.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

Scaling a business will break your systems, your ego, and your old ways of thinking.

Good.

That’s how you build something that lasts. ⚡️

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

There’s this idea that AI will magically solve business problems.

The truth? 👇🏼
It amplifies your gaps.
If your systems are broken, AI breaks them faster.
If your processes are strong, AI accelerates them.

The real work starts before you automate anything.

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

You can fake confidence.
You can fake expertise.
But you can’t fake consistency.

Eventually, the market figures out who’s for real. ✅

[Andrew Raso @AndrewRaso1]

I’ve learned something uncomfortable about building a brand: No one cares as much as you do...at first.

You have to show up every day, even when no one’s listening yet.

Eventually, they start paying attention. That’s when the magic happens.
