This was super fun!
Launched a brand for a friend during dinner.
1 week later he made $3000 in sales.
We rebuilt the website over coffee.
1 week after that he landed Canada wide distribution.
On track to do $100k in revenue in 3 months.
TLDR: go to more dinner parties
They say “We have spent all of our marketing budget”
You hear “you haven’t been presented a strategy that is worth investing in… yet”.
A first “No” is rarely a hard “No”.
Your first offer isn’t valuable enough or hitting a problem they need to solve.
Adjust and retarget

The less we think for ourselves - the less we flex the muscles that keep us present
Bought an engagement ring this year.
Realized three things:
– The ring’s value disappears the moment you leave the store.
– Its meaning fades if you think the gesture is enough.
- The only thing worth anything is your commitment and only if you choose it, again and again.
20+ years being self employed.
Multiple industries.
Number 1 reason I haven’t attained the growth and success I want. Not because I can’t, just because I wouldn’t stop stepping in.
The hard part of entrepreneurship isnt always pushing, its holding back.
Holding back from doing an employees job for them, pursuing a new idea because youre bored, or responding to a competitor’s attack.

Biggest mental shift of 2025!
If I’m going to do something, I am going to complete it to a level or outcome I will proud of.
Otherwise, I won’t do it.
This doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it - it just means you’re proud of your output.
Things are only easy because somewhere at sometime you developed the skills or complimentary skills to make future things easy.
Don’t disrespect the work you have done.
Nothing is easy. Your just skilled
My full conversation with @PeterZeihan on all things Canada is rolling out now. We talk a lot of Canada, but we also talk Russia, China, Germany, Interest Rates, Housing, Immigration, ChatGPT and much more. Thank you Peter, I really enjoyed this. https://t.co/ZWjJkKyrVu
People expect success, but do they respect it when it happens?
We are often to quick to move on to the next objective, goal and milestone.
Shouldn’t we be honouring the journey to our success as much as we fear failure. They both teach us a lot if we give space to reflect.
@mang0ld Hey @mang0ld just a heads up, someone is impersonating you and calling various Canadian talent agencies proclaiming to be you. It is related to this article: https://t.co/9EmNKjbVwr
