I want to connect with more founders/builders/vibe coders/ai enthusiasts.

If you are one of them, how are you acquiring users/clients?

[thomas @thomasabato]

You need to shape your environment to support your goals.

The last 5 days I stepped away from X because it wasn’t serving my goal.

I was using X as a ‘way to get feedback’ but fell into the trap of just replying and posting to get impressions.

The more I did, the better I got, or so I thought.

The impressions went up, but the time I spent on my SaaS went down and down.

The more I saw others creating B2C apps, and doing marketing methods that only worked for that market and believed I was doing something wrong.

I’m betting on a B2B app, whether it be zarenova or the next, and the more time I waste, the less chance I have.

Stop your wandering eye, and focus.

@Kosco_2 What kind of content did you try? Was this organic or paid ads?

[thomas @thomasabato]

@Kosco_2 I have to imagine distributing first before building the app is difficult. What does that road map look like?

[thomas @thomasabato]

@AiroPrompts How old was she on her first executive seat? Damn.

[thomas @thomasabato]

@AiroPrompts I would say replies, but I feel there are too many people on this app that only reply for the sake of growth. So I’ll go with likes on this one

Why doing hard things is so attractive:

@Codie_Sanchez some are in fact mad at rich people

but i believe it's just because they're either unwilling or don't know how to put themselves in that position

envy is a crazy thing

[thomas @thomasabato]

@sflorimm absolutely (i'm praying)

[thomas @thomasabato]

@pcshipp Do people actually believe you need a MacBook to make $10k mrr?

[thomas @thomasabato]

I find it hilarious that it is ALWAYS the people with the least done that have the most to say.

As soon as I hear 'you have to' I'm out.

Unless someone is living the life YOU WANT, odds are you shouldn't take THEIR ADVICE.

Sorry-not-sorry.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

"Your guidance counselor said the trades were for kids who couldn't make it?"

"Yes, Dave."

"And your parents told you a four-year degree was non-negotiable?"

"That's right, Dave."

"So you took out $140k in federal loans for it?"

"Yes, Dave."

"Then AI replaced the entry-level role you trained four years for?"

"Six months after graduation, Dave."

"And the plumber down the street has been trying to retire for two years?"

"He'd seller-finance the whole thing, Dave."

"So what's the counselor telling your little brother to do?"

"Get a degree, Dave."

@trying_to_exits Comfort.

@pcshipp Ai as a service is the new sauce I suppose

[thomas @thomasabato]

@Codie_Sanchez Building businesses has become the adult version of sports.

It's so fun.

[thomas @thomasabato]
