Actually yeah... seems kinda crazy but NAET changed my life. And solved sleep problems for my 5 year old (didn't end up needing tonsils removed) and spit up issues with our newborn. Dr. Koffer in American Fork is kids only I'm pretty sure. Dr. Hershey in Orem is the guy I've gone to.

Literally seems like fake medicine but has worked every time for our kids and solved my seasonal allergies

@theseoguy_ In 6 months he'll be doing something else

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

I've paid $402k to international team members over the past 3 years.

To some that's not that much money, but when I look at that... I think this has been a cool ride with a lot of people involved.

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

uh oh, were the haters right??

I'm getting off airtable just in time!

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Selling to Bending Spoons is an admission of defeat+wanting ANY kind of exit, knowing most staff will be let go after this

Airtable raised $1.4B in funding. This exit most certainly means investors get some investment back: founders maybe something. Employees likely wiped out…

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

@HSchenewark Incredible Hunter, keeping you guys in our prayers still!

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

APIs are really cool.

As someone who is new to dev work (all via AI), I can't express enough how impressive APIs are.

Things we've connected to our new Mission Control Software:
- stripe
- GBPs
- Google Drive
- Google Sheets
- Vercel
- DataforSEO
- GHL (call tracking)
- GA4
- GSC
- airtable

I'm sure I'm missing some, but this is unreal. My team is live on it today. We're increasing our output 10x and our effectiveness by probably 4-5x

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

@CliftonSellers Was the answer "keep improving your service" or "sell sell sell" ?

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

@pricefoulger @lexbelliston I'll text you

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

Getting some company swag from @lexbelliston can't wait

@PetCremationGuy @StumpGuyTy I want to see you start posting like this for cremations.... this dead horse is a monster!!!!

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

idk what this is about, but yes parents know best.
I was anti-homeschool for our kids until the time came to send my 5-year old to full-day kindergarten because that's all the district offered.

Absurd to expect my 5 y/o to be away from me and my wife from 8a - 4p everyday.

And to make it worse, someone we don't know is being trusted to fill their mind with information.

I count my blessings everyday that my wife wants to stay at home with our children AND teach them to read, think, work, etc. rather than sending them to school.

K-2 is nothing but government childcare.

Parents know best.

There will be two types of service businesses moving forward:

Company A: implements AI to do the same work at a fraction of the cost, boosts margins and makes more profit

Company B: implements AI to do the same work at a fraction of the cost, maintains a target margin and reinvests the savings into generating even more customer value by doing more, delivering more, etc. Customer pays the same but gets 10x more value, business maintains profit margin target

Choose which company you want to be, but me and Goodly, we know who we are

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

I haven't been this excited about my business probably ever. What we're doing with AI genuinely feels like a roadmap to 5x the company to 600k/mo MRR.

Obviously we need the sales to support that, but that's what I'm best at.

Operations broke down at 20k MRR, 40k MRR, and now 125k MRR. And every time that we stopped, slowed down, and rebuilt better it fueled growth.

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

@ChrisGure No not yet. You think people won't be able to withdraw?

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

This is just with 20k in there, $19.21 in 5 days.
It'll more than pay for the premium+ subscription.

Need to close on a house and then I'll just pour money into this place at 6%

[James Lincoln @jameslincoln]

@StumpGuyTy upgrade to premium+. I'm getting 6% without direct deposit on there
