25+ yrs in Tech & Edu | Sharing how busy entrepreneurs can leverage 'just enough tech’ principles to simplify, optimize, reduce overhead, & stay focused.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

After 2+ decades in tech, I've seen it all—evaluating & deploying countless systems.

The struggle was real.

Then came the Saas & No-code revolution.

Finally, entrepreneurs had power 💪

We could build anything!

So why am I not a millionaire already? Why aren't YOU? 🧵👇

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicunfiltered Thanks for the healing vibes, friend!

You doing ok over there?

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

ChatGPT is your PKM wingman.

But without search history, it means a LOT of copy-paste.

So I created a little script to convert my history into a @RoamResearch friendly import file.

Won't be useful for long, but it's nice for now. Enjoy!

@nicunfiltered Hahaha omg dude life is MENTAL.

My last two weeks have included:
Wife x2hospital visits
Mother in Law cornea transplant
MIL living with us post op
Most complex product launch of career
And today AWS is down so imma punch a baby

How's you? 🤣

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@shortforCJ The entire Melissa etheridge catalog does this to me.

I just realized I just unsolicited answered “tell me you’re a 90s lesbian without telling me you’re a 90s lesbian”. 🤣

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicunfiltered Aw I miss you too!

I didn't come up in your feed because I was head down 100% of the week.

Combo of multiple parent surgeries and work project launching this coming Tuesday. Another wild week ahead.

I had to pick my sanity over Twitter this week. 😜

I'll be back! Promise!

@kaxuson I bought https://t.co/s9o3iwQd7F today. Might make that support group a real thing. Wanna join me? Thinking community of creators of all kinds who write about real life and how they’re playing their game. Storytelling, sharing, supporting… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

The mom hustle is real.

If my wife ever left town for 3hrs people would panic, let alone 3 weeks 😂

There are other hustles too:

Aging parents
Chronic illness
Launching grown kids
Etc

My take: play your own game, as only you can. They aren’t on the same court, and that’s ok.

🔥 Rant incoming. 🔥

I was just listening to Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole talk about how they went into monk mode for 3 weeks to focus on their ghostwriting course.

I appreciate them sharing their experience, but it also frustrates me.

@kaxuson Maybe! What should we name it?

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicksimard @jasonleowsg Me reading this post and all the replies.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@LeadAuthentic I think a lot of the training material comes from what’s liked on Reddit- they must have a lion fetish in there somewhere.

Always telling is the absolute lack of women in the results of so many “simple” prompts in MJ. Thank you for noticing. Many don’t.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

According to midjourney, leadership is like an episode of Hannibal.

[John Brewer @LeadAuthentic]

What does a leader look like?

We all have images in our heads about what a leader looks like.

I was curious what AI (midjourney) would create based on basic prompts and they were eye-opening.

Here is what I found...

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@evielync And yet I continue to use my manners.

Someday I’ll stop saying please and thank you. Maybe.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@AprilynneAlter Their loss, girl.

Best tip I’ve got is this: Surround yourself with people who know you’re awesome.

We’re here.

Find the right crew and we’ll drown it out while you build your “gives zero fucks” muscle 💪

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@tashmusa Same. I have about 30min/day to be on here. No way I’m going to be able to compete with their hours.

But if there’s anything I’ve learned over decades of experience, it’s that you can work smarter and get farther.

And since my goals are so completely different, it’s all good.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicksimard I’m seeing multi-author, multi-perspective, multi-solution long form content.

Zoom calls, opportunities for biz coaches to speak about balance.

Maybe even a marketplace for people to share services. Like, I know how to set up airtable for biz ops and you know how to…

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicksimard SAME! I have had SO. MANY. Domains. 🤣

Love what you’re thinking re: CNAME on top of something else.

I might have an old LTD on a community saas I could spin up for this purpose too.

Let me look. I’ll check back in tomorrow.

If you know anyone who might want to collab @ them

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicksimard So I just picked up https://t.co/s9o3iwQKXd

Wanna play with me?

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@nicksimard Um, YES. It’d be a fun exercise to think about what “rules” and criteria would be needed. Like “you have to be this authentic to ride” or “must be kind to nurses and servers” 🤣

What if there was a volunteer expectation or mentorship or something?

Gamify kindness.

[Lisa Ross 🧢 Just Enough Tech @thinkinghatlabs]

@kaxuson Same! It was exhausting, trying to keep up.

And I think that even if I could keep up it wouldn’t have been successful because it’s for different results anyway.

@shortforCJ “Fresh dad” vibes is also my goal fashion aesthetic. 🧍👟
