Visited Monterey today and truly was a great reminder to take a pause and take in life even when grinding.
It's easy to get caught up in the swing of it all
What's a skill you'd still learn even though AI can/could do most of it?
Thinking of it from an AI era especially running a digital business. You can now get answers and work done in seconds but how you know if it's good if you don't have context of the work?
Starting to post my thoughts daily as I expand ventures and activities I do in my life. X will be my personal thought journal I can look back on in the future
This mindset of "I've already put years into this" starts to feel like the path in what you've done is set in stone
Truthfully, people get caught up in trying to prove they made the right decision but then forget how much they've learned and most likely changed since then
You might not even want the same thing anymore
Don't let your past decide your next move

You can explain a product or service perfectly and still leave someone thinking, "Why would I need this?"
Something I’m learning from sales and growing a product is how aware is your market?
What does the person already know before they see your pitch or ad?
Say you’re selling a shoe rack. Someone fed up with shoes all over the floor might still be deciding between a rack or a separate container.
Someone comparing two racks is much further along.
They want to know which one fits their hallway and holds enough shoes.
Market Awareness = specific language and pitch/copywriting
@1tonyecom Getting into Ecom now. Taking it pretty seriously. Any advice on launching Meat ads? Budget? CBO or ABO? How long to test for until killing?
Curious to hear from founders, how unfinished was your first product when someone actually paid for it?
I’m building from scratch and trying to work out how much needs to be there before asking someone to pay.
“Just launch” sounds simple until you’re the one deciding what’s good enough.
What did you ship, and what were you still fixing after that first sale?
Honestly, to be great is hard, but I find that the people that are most successful enjoy the challenge and difficulty.
I think Naval Ravikant once said, "Make the hard enjoyable and to everyone else your fun looks like work" I'm paraphrasing, and I can't remember, but from the outside, it will look hard, but for you, it's just play. That's how you're going to outwork and last longer than everyone else
I'm not gonna lie... Did my schooling in Edmonton, and that shit built my mental fortitude... endless winters and darkness + drug addicts do something to a broke uni student. Glad I made it through and out.
Edmonton
We love our drug addicts and hate our taxpayers...
Hey business owner you spent your entire life trying to build, were gonna park 100 addicts in front of your shop to greet customers....
They should make the mayor live there for their term.
Looking back, I built a decent following as a creator, generating 10M+ views and slightly monetizing my brand at the time. That experience is coming in handy now that I’m behind the scenes building an e-commerce business and figuring out paid ads content lol
It’s funny because I can watch a video and think it’s good, but putting money behind it makes me question every element of a video.
Understand, paid ads content is completely different from organic content.
Would someone actually stop scrolling? And even if they watch, what makes them want the product?
Starting small and sharing what I learn here as I go building this ecom business.
Including the ideas I’m convinced will work that end up going nowhere...
X is the only mainstream personal social media I use.
Going to start posting and documenting building a large business in the real world and in the digital space.
It's funny watching Canadian Liberal zombies react to Alberta independence like we're supposed to sit around and go up in flames with everyone who voted for 11 years of Trudeau/Carney communism.
Remember, we didn't vote for this. And even if we did, our vote didn't count thanks to Canada's first past the post electoral system. Maybe if Trudeau had've reformed the system like we asked him to do we'd take some responsibility. But no, Eastern Canada this is your creation.
You can't spend decades robbing us of our voice and our wealth and then call us traitors because we finally build the strength to fight back. I hope you enjoyed the ride. No matter the outcome on Oct 19th, the robbery is going to end.
