Thomas Edison failed over 10,000 times before he finally invented the light bulb.
Imagine if he had quit.
Keep building. Keep pushing. Your dream is worth it.
@AnthonyLaFauci Bit controversial but I like to introduce myself to the person who’s sitting next to me. Had the most interesting conversations with people on a plane and sometimes you get some great recommendations on where to go from people who have already been to wherever you’re flying to.
@brujabitchh True stuff right here! Years ago, it took me a while to understand why I procrastinated while I was in uni, as I’ve never been the lazy type. Once I understood that I was self sabotaging my own success, I was able to work on myself and my life has never been the same.
There is really only one thing that makes money💰in this world. Everything else is a subset of this one thing.
The one thing is PERSUASION.
Think Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. They persuaded billions to buy from them and not their competitors.
They didn’t just create a fantastic product. They were highly persuasive humans.
Remember, many amazing products have been created that never saw the light of day or created wealth for the founder (think about Nikola Tesla, the inventor)
But maybe you wonder how persuasion specifically applies to things beyond marketing.
So let me step back and explain in-depth:
All of being an entrepreneur and making money relies on your ability to persuade - both yourself and your customer.
But you must apply persuasion specifically to 3 areas:
-Product
-Marketing
-Operations
This is the “PMO Persuasion” framework.
And each of these three break into three more subsets. So a total of 9 subsets of persuasion you must master.
So like this:
1. Product persuasion
A. Yourself: persuading yourself that you as a human are the most valuable product and persuading yourself to focus on your actual strengths and not get distracted by envying others
B. Customer: knowing what the world wants and can be persuaded to buy
C. Productizing: creating a core product around what you’ve persuaded yourself your strengths are - combined with what the world is dying to be persuaded to buy
2. Marketing persuasion
A. Push mass marketing: using persuasive paid automated ads to spread a simplified message of what your product does
B. Pull mass marketing: persuasive viral brand marketing that entertains and builds a cult following without hard-selling
C. Sales: using phone closers or in-person meetings to persuasively sell a more nuanced, expensive upgrade of the core product
3. Operations persuasion
A. Organization: persuading each staff/employee to accept living within an org chart with 14 distinct divisions, similar to how an army’s organized
B. Managers: teaching managers to supervise staff persuasively. Assign one manager for each 7-14 people approximately, similar to a military squad
C. Executives: teaching execs to persuasively supervise managers. Assign one exec per 3-4 managers approximately, similar to a platoon
I know this seems like a lot.
Maybe or maybe I haven’t persuaded you that persuasion is king.
But remember you are reading this on a product (your phone or laptop) that someone persuaded you to buy, on a social network someone persuaded you to join, and if you made it here to the end, some of my words persuaded you to keep reading to the end.
Soon, I’ll share the persuasion system I’ve built over the last decade if you want to become a true black belt in persuasion.
I'm fine with Rachel Zegler playing Snow White. How she talks about the original film is sad though. Of cause it's outdated, been made in the '30s. But it's the first animated feature film and the beginning of what animation is today. For that it deserves at least some respect.
Working on a project during the weekend because you enjoy it so much is probably one of the best feelings.
Prove me wrong.

Who still writes/takes notes with pen and paper?
I just remember more when I wrote something on paper. And I feel like if I’d ever stop that my spelling would suffer as well 👀
