Notes to myself

[Gus Rojo @GusRed]

@realEstateTrent "But people will talk" - Let them. People who judge you for being financially responsible aren't your people.

"It's tradition" - So was not letting women vote. Traditions that financially cripple young families deserve to die.

[Gus Rojo @GusRed]

@realEstateTrent This is the exact financial literacy we need to be preaching. The wedding industrial complex has weaponized FOMO to separate young people from generational wealth.

Your wedding day is ONE DAY. Your financial foundation affects EVERY DAY for decades.

UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH:

While you wait 12 months for SEO magic, smart founders are turning $80 into $550.

Small niches pay rent. Big dreams don't. 🧵👇

Amazon spends $11B on ads. Google spends $5B on ads.

But you think organic will save your startup with 47 monthly visitors?

That's not strategy. That's hope.

What actually works: Phrase match Google Ads + AI avatar Meta ads + conversion tracking.

The model myth is dead.

64% of AI winners use others' models. 44% of top mobile apps: Made in China.

Product beats proprietary math.

Watch what people DO, not what pundits SAY.

AI's dirty secret: 20% of top AI apps are digital girlfriends.

Character AI beats Claude in rankings.

The loneliness economy > productivity economy.
