@bowtiedstocks 🙌 the noise to signal ratio is just crazily skewed! But is it just an Australia thing? Hmmmm

[Li @lisiwong]

@tomaldertweets Love reading your newsletter! By the way, is this pic taken at a co-working space?

[Li @lisiwong]

@_lhermann Yeah. I have been trying different ways to manage weight including tracking calories using My Fitness Pal. It has been successful for a short period but doesn't appear to be sustainable over the long term. Happy to try something else!

[Li @lisiwong]

@ItsKieranDrew Writing is thinking 👍 where do you normally wrote at, other than your newsletter?

[Li @lisiwong]

@_lhermann Very cool. To finally hear someone who didn't launch on PH. What's your thinking around that ? Esp if the online kool-aid is all about launching on PH.

[Li @lisiwong]

@jhylee95 Love your insights from a founder's perspective. I create products in a scaleup and alot of your thoughts resonate. I think the ability to keep the problems small and be aware of the shiny object syndrome is essential. Self-awareness is KEY.

[Li @lisiwong]

@indexsy Australia is leading the pack. Care to share what business is that?

[Li @lisiwong]

@adamc0dez Part of the scaling up pains! Stay hydrated - it helps!

[Li @lisiwong]

@threehourcoffee Nice! 😄 It's wonderful to hear that your team is super super engaged 👍 you have a part to play in shaping the culture as @llamalife scale up. Would love to hear more ...

[Li @lisiwong]

@chenellco Awesome research on
@GoodMarketingHQI I love the depth of your article and the step-by-step guide on growth loop . And what's more - you have learnt and implemented the growth loops too! Keep it going! 👍

[Li @lisiwong]

@tylertringas @calmfund I recalled that a celebrity once mentioned that he was happier before he got famous and rich. Because it was the purpose and pursuit that brings on all the fun and joy.

[Li @lisiwong]

@nocodelife Let's go! I'm looking forward to the challenge 🚂

[Li @lisiwong]

@MeetKevon 🤔 Do you think it's more about a direction of travel than having a plan?

[Li @lisiwong]

@searchbound Oh so true. Reminded me of what the son of Sam Walton, founder of Kmart had said 👇

[Li @lisiwong]

@thisiskp_ 💯 learn to enjoy the process. By the way, do you enjoy gardening? What you said reminded me of a quote that talks to the same narrative 👇

[Li @lisiwong]

@MeetKevon @jestonlu Yup making space for deep thinking and reflection is essential. 👍 That's always a natural way to slide into that groove. For me, I tend to ease in after a cup of coffee and then plug into acoustic music 🎵

[Li @lisiwong]

@EricJorgenson Importantly, both carry the compounding effect 🫰

[Li @lisiwong]

@chenellco Me too. There's nothing useful about... "Are you tired of...." The same goes for ..... You asked, we listened” is the go-to headline when you're out of ideas.

@tldrdan @ScraperAPI @tldrnewsletter 2) when and how do you decide to hire a role (such as People director) + how to onboard?

And a ton more - for a conversation next time. I’m working in an owner-operated business and curious about how others tackle the hairy challenges of scaling

[Li @lisiwong]

@tldrdan @ScraperAPI @tldrnewsletter Take 2 with thoughts on specific questions...Here goes: Keen to hear thinking process on growing business & teams, operational efficiency and trade-offs…
1) The recent Founder Mode post got a lot talking about micro-managing and skilful liars - who to hire and how to manage.
