People spend 50% more with businesses that regularly respond to reviews.
Responding to reviews is free marketing. Block 10 minutes every Monday and reply to every review you got that week. Good and bad.
Every product that ever dominated its market had a myth behind it before it had a market.
Like, Apple was the rebel. Nike was the athlete inside everyone. Tesla was the future arriving early.
The story created the demand that made the product feel inevitable. Stories are powerful.
@trying_to_exits A 2024 report from Harvard Business Review found that 44 percent of college graduates end up in jobs that never required their degree in the first place.
Four years. Six figures of debt. To end up somewhere the certificate was never even checked. π€£

Marketing in 2026 is about feeding better data into systems that run ads for you.
The businesses winning right now are the ones with the cleanest customer data, the clearest audience signals, and the patience to let the algorithm learn.
A 2021 Stripe report found that 65 percent of startups that reach their first paying customer never make it past $5K MRR!

@sharran The brain is wired to perceive uncertainty as threat.
Which means waiting to feel ready is not laziness or fear.
It is your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do in a world that no longer requires it.
The cave is gone but the hesitation stayed.
The worst thing a small business can do with a limited marketing budget is split it across every channel at once.
$500 on Google, $500 on Facebook, $500 on SEO. You learn nothing, get results from nothing, and blame marketing.

@drgurner A 2019 study out of the University of Pennsylvania found that optimism is not a personality trait you are born with
It is a cognitive skill that can be trained, practiced, and built deliberately
The pessimists were just untrained and calling it wisdom. Lesson in here.
@SahilBloom Being busy.
The person who is always slammed, always in meetings, always overwhelmed
Is usually just bad at saying no and calling it ambition
Research out of Harvard spanning 80 years found the single biggest predictor of a happy life was not wealth, status, or achievement.
It was autonomy over how you spent your time.
Bob Dylan figured out in one sentence what took the longest running study in history eight decades to prove
@Codie_Sanchez Neuroscientists call it emotional contagion.
The brain mirrors the energy of whoever is closest to it
The people around you are not just affecting your mood, they are literally rewiring your baseline of what feels possible.
