no mentors, no trust fund, just relentless learning.

here are 7 lessons I wish I knew when I started 👇

Cancer Scientists: Everything We've Been Told About Cancer Is a Lie!

[George @chrysostomidesg]

I just turned 24.

Im writing this for myself as much as for anyone reading it. The last five years felt like ten, and before they blur together I want to put down what they taught me.

Age doesnt matter, speed does. I lived these years building, failing and fixing things every single day, and that pace packed a decade into five years. Made good things, made way more mistakes. And i truly cant explain how much I love the mistakes. They built me more than the wins ever did

Money spent on flexing changes nothing. I dropped over 1.5 million on watches and over a million on cars. Nothing changed. Not my happiness, not who I was, not the respect of anyone whose respect actually mattered. I still love them as a hobby, but thats all they are.

Your life looks exactly how you decided it to look. Want to be healthy? Go to the gym, walk 10km every single day, pick up a martial art. Its that simple. I got fat more than once these years and the way back was always the same thing, a switch in the head. Not a program, not a coach. You either accept the loser mentality or you get the fuck up.

People will always come and go, so stop fighting it. Accept it early and life gets lighter. Keep the good ones close, they are rarer than you think. Dont be scared to lose the rest and don’t overthink what they’ll say. Just do it.

Show up every single day and be better than yesterday. Basic, I know, but its as accurate as it gets. Do that and theres no version of this where you are not in a better spot than last month, last quarter, last year.

In business nothing matters more than your team. Nothing. They either make you suffer or take you to the stars, there is no middle. If you are not 100% sure someone is as motivated as you, they gotta go. I kept people way too long (and still do) because replacing them felt like too much work. It cost me money, time and my own energy. Every month I delayed cost more than the replacement ever would have.

If these five years left me with one thing its that past a certain point, almost everything is pointless except loving what you do and being with people you love who love you back.

Everything else is noise

@Christos_io Never said you didn’t, obviously distribution is the hard part. But building for a niche you understand is still the fastest way to find something with real demand. Selling comes after there’s something worth selling

[George @chrysostomidesg]

The easiest way to create a successful product is to find an expert in his field (accounting, forex, ecom, even kiosk owner) and sit with him for 2-3 hours to talk about his business.

You will 100% hear a problem he has that most owners in that industry probably share. Then you just vibecode it. These high-end experts in their area have no clue how easy and simple it is because they spent their entire time in their thing

This is actually crazy

CHAT CONTROL IS COMING

Even though most Members of the European Parliament have voted to REJECT Chat Control, we have not been able to reach the absolute majority that was needed (361 Members).

This is a sad day for Europeans.

Ai made acceptable work look good enough that most buyers cant tell the difference.

Give it a year and today’s ‘wow’ is the baseline nobody pays for, and the only work worth money is the kind AI cant fake, which is taste

Monthly reminder not to undercharge your services

@PhedEU Goosebumps bro, goosebumps

[George @chrysostomidesg]

Idk know what it is, but in the last 2-3 months I get so annoyed when someone is doing literally nothing with their life.

Especially when its someone in my inner or even outer circle.

It just fucking pisses me off more than normal.

Its also proof that ai isnt closing the gap between hustlers and everyone else, its making it bigger

Only hustlers are doing cool shit with AI.

If you were a hustler before, now you’re just a faster, more efficient hustler.

“Regular” people are still in the same place as they were before ai

X is my rant platform now thanks

Forget my last tweet

We are so back

[Claude @claudeai]

Fable 5 is back.

[George @chrysostomidesg]

Claude’s X account is proof that wannabe founders have literally zero attention span

Every feature drop, same crowd, same fucking repost, “THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING”, “CLAUDE JUST KILLED ALL THE (random industry) JOBS”, just for the hype to end 12 hours later

They dont even care about the tool. They just want to feel early

[phed @PhedEU]

As a European this week on X has been eye opening cause what do you mean the rest of Europe does not have AC?

There are at least 3 ACs running at any time in the day in my house

Happy to cancel out whatever efforts Germany/any other EU countries are doing

scaling a company in cyprus is genuinely not hard and nobody wants to admit it. the bar is on the floor. half your competitors don’t answer emails. you don’t need a new idea, you need to copy what already works in bigger markets and just actually show up. that’s the whole secret. that’s it

[George @chrysostomidesg]

Depends what you mean by 'works'. pricing, format, channels all behave differently. But to answer your question, anything volume-dependent. Thin margins and high throughput need scale to work, and a small market can’t give you that.

What travels fine is anything digital with no geography. Software doesn't care how small your country is. its market is wherever the buyers are.

Luxury’s the interesting one, because it splits in two. The positioning side: branding, taste, product, scales down fine, since affluent buyers everywhere shop off the same references. But luxury that needs repeat footfall, like a members’ club or a cinema, struggles, because a small economy can’t always sustain enough of it

I'm at that phase in my life where lifemaxing is the most attractive thing. I want to get better at everything I do daily and will leverage that to consistently get sub-50 X views and see where it goes
