Working on mindset, marketing & building skills

@kaleighf Use PowerPoint so they have no doubt you did the work, not AI. Slides built with Claude are ridiculous

[MG @mglongu]

@Siddukharche We are building something similar but for our operations team (for internal use, not customer support). It becomes obsolete as soon as any process improvement is applied. How do we keep the RAG updated?

Post it of the day

Nobody is good at the start.

Nobody is bad after 10,000 attempts.

@readswithravi Me darling 🧘‍♀️

Process improvement helps minimising human error

YES, but also:

Humiliation
Frustration
Conflicts
Workload

What else?

@kuhusingh6 We're all too stressed to use our instincts. Too dangerous 😅

[MG @mglongu]

Soooo in love.

Surviving the 9–5 with a tough manager has sharpened my forecasting skills

I can predict objections before they happen

Add a pinch of overthinking and I’m already rehearsing future client complaints

Apparently, client management is part of the benefits package

@hustle_fred 100%! You feel good about yourself for giving it a shot and if you ask the right questions you can walk away with solid clues for your next pivot

Just got off a call with a potential customer to test my new idea

She shot it down 💀

Zero need for what I had in mind

Ngl… I kinda loved the rejection

Am I crazy?

[MG @mglongu]

Source of inspiration of the day

[Rob Schoder Jr @Secondrob]

Found at my parents’ house.

In the time since this guacamole expired, their 5 kids all graduated college. They moved three times and had 6 grandchildren.

We have had 3 different US Presidents, missing the Bush Administration by 2 days.

We should all aspire to have the longevity and resilience of this guacamole.

@ashebytes It would be interesting to see. Great results anyway

[MG @mglongu]

AI agents are taking care of us like we used to take care of tamagotchi

[MG @mglongu]

Results first, personal brand later.

Make the best decision you can with the information you have

Continuing to postpone is itself a decision and not the best one by definition

Me: I’d love to get to know people with my same interests

Brain: let’s build a community and a business plan
