@luvblessingz Little Bear & Rupert were locked in with the serene & whimsical intros.

Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs taught him the one skill every entrepreneur needs to master "I learned this from Steve Jobs. I told this story countless times. He was not a nice guy, but in the 90s, I made all of his software for the Mac in schools, 110,000 buildings. He was an absolute a**hole, but he taught me some very important things, and he was wildly successful." "He said that each day, including you, each day there will be three things you have to get done, just three, and that's called the signal." "And there's going to be a plethora of things that are going to stop you from doing that and that's called the noise. So the only thing you have to get good at in your life to be an entrepreneur is to distinguish what's signal and what's noise." "And then you do not let noise get in the way of getting the three things done. They get done first."

I've built dozens of businesses. If I lost it all tomorrow and had to rebuild it from scratch without much cash or talent, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Start selling before you build Your biggest advantage starting out is speed. If you can move from idea to launch in 24 hours while your competitor is scheduling a planning meeting for next quarter, you win. One of our academy members literally posted a Facebook rant about his local trash company and dropped a pre-sell link in the comments. He hit $13k MRR before owning a single truck or license. 2. Pick an industry where the odds are stacked in your favor Those aren't the ones everybody's bragging about. • Information businesses have a 29% survival rate after 10 years. • Manufacturing and agriculture? 49%. There's actually an inverse relationship between the age of the owner and your odds of making money. The older the owner, the more likely that business stays solvent when you buy it. Which brings me to... 3. Look for the shortest path to ownership inside it Right now, that path is the Boomer exit. 41% of all small businesses are owned by people aged 62 or older. Most of them are near or at retirement and have no one to sell to. Which means thousands of businesses are about to go up for grabs in the next 10 years. Get your hands on one of them and scale the s**t out of it. 4. Buy businesses that pay you whether the economy is up or down The ones I'd target look something like this: • Same owner since 1987 • Stable revenue for the last 5+ years • 10-15 employees • No marketing • Old website Adding tech to a business run by a 70 year old is easier than running the 1,000th social media app on the market. 5. Sell to the rich The best customers to sell to are the ones with money. If I'm starting a lawn care business, I'm not building a $99 mowing package for the masses. I'm selling a $10k commercial package for high-end clients who want a better service. What I’d focus on to sell to affluent buyers: • Scarcity: Limited availability, limited access • Privacy: Things others can't get into or know about • Exclusivity: The club with a real barrier to entry • Convenience: Their time has a dollar value and they'd rather pay than wait • Status: Put their name on it and they'll write a bigger check Anchor every offer to one of these 5. And don’t discount! 6. Build an audience while running the biz The last thing you want is being dependent on paid ads to reach your customers. Customer acquisition costs are up 3-5x since 2014 (and only going up from here). Paying for ads is renting someone else's audience by the month. How I'd build my own: • Newsletter → owned audience, no algorithm that decides who sees your posts • YouTube → highest ROI of any social platform right now • Social media accounts → post organic content for free and use the best performing ones as ads Much easier to run a business when you don't need to pay to reach your customers. 7. Wire AI into the back-end from day one I'd automate every repetitive touchpoint that doesn't need a human... • SEO • Scheduling • Customer intake • Lead qualification • Follow-up sequences So the business runs without me in the routine work. And the humans stay where the magic actually needs to happen: sales, customer service, and hiring. - tl;dr > Pick the unsexy business in the right industry > Run it lean > Sell to customers who can pay > With distribution you own > And AI doing the repetitive work If you do these things, 2026 will be your richest year yet.

CEO of Stripe's advice to young ambitious people:

There's so much power in believing things will work out, even when you don't know how or when.

According to Feng Shui, the mess in your home isn't random. It's a reflection of where energy may be stuck in your life. Bedroom clutter =

A reminder from The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel: “The highest form of wealth is the ability to wake up every morning and say, ‘I can do whatever I want today.’ People want to become wealthier to make them happier. Happiness is a complicated subject because everyone’s different. But if there’s a common denominator in happiness—a universal fuel of joy—it’s that people want to control their lives. The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays. Use money to gain control over your time, because not having control of your time is such a powerful and universal drag on happiness. The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want to, pays the highest dividend that exists in finance.”

Patterns I noticed in successful people in my life: • People think they’re insane • They’re relentless at follow up • They reply to emails in one sentence • They are so high agency it’ll rip peoples faces off • They understand the enormous value of pattern recognition • They don’t give a flying f*ck about people’s opinions • They don’t network and let their work do the work • They have confidence that comes from action • They purposely cultivate high energy • They have an aura about them • They chase their obsession • They see writing as thinking

You can fake confidence. You can fake knowledge. You can fake hustle. But you cannot fake risk taking. The moment you put your neck on the line you prove yourself.

pick a degree you don’t want to cheat. choose a city you don't want to flee. work a job you don’t want to quit. marry a person you don’t want to change. live a life you don’t want to escape.

@ElijahSchaffer Americans low IQ

Now Brazil killed Oliver Tree just after the bungee jumping girl was nerfed 3rd world countries are dangerous, the people are low IQ, and they can’t maintain society Europeans should have never let these people govern themselves. Look at Europe once they welcome them in

@inorskol Argentinos e sua sindrome de superioridade ahahahaha a realidade como o mundo os vê:

Brasil es espiritualmente la India de Latinoamérica: humedad, subdesarrollo, ciudades horribles, selva, tipos degenerados y muertes insólitas grabadas con celulares en 240p.

@MrAncelotti @CBF_Futebol @FIFAWorldCup Queremos o Endrick titular

Ontem demos o primeiro passo na Copa do Mundo. E fizemos isso com a alegria e o orgulho de representar o Brasil. É só o começo. Seguimos trabalhando e olhando para frente. Vamos juntos!

@MarceloCarvFr Bizarro

Enquanto Elon Musk lança foguetes retornáveis ao espaço, e os imbecis criticam babado de inveja, nosso avanço tecnológico lança uma moça linda e inocente à morte numa ponte chamada “ ponte do esqueleto “. E nada acontece. Mas está tudo bem.

@Kathgurgel Acho perigoso esse tipo de pensamento, foi imprudência total e não destino.

O destino tem dessas coisas que nos deixam sem palavras. Desde ontem, quando soube da morte tragicamente absurda dessa moça, não consigo parar de pensar no mistério que é a vida e a morte. Um rapaz, o Higor William, estava na fila para o salto de *rope jumping*. Ele quase não conseguiu ir porque se atrasou para chegar e, por causa disso, a Maria Eduarda acabou passando na frente dele. O atraso do Higor, a pressa da Eduarda. Dá a sensação de que existe uma hora certa, um relógio invisível marcando o nosso último segundo, como se tudo já estivesse escrito. Não era a hora dele; infelizmente, era a dela. Coincidência ou destino? O que vocês pensam sobre isso?

@thairizard O que xenofobia tem a ver com isso? Idiotas tem em qualquer parte do mundo.

Existe um termo na psicologia social chamado "Bystander Effect" e ele é muito bem representado nesse vídeo. É basicamente uma difusão de responsabilidade: quanto maior o número de testemunhas, menor é a chance de alguém prestar socorro. → Os supervisores estão vendo. → Os jumpers estão vendo. → Várias pessoas vendo e filmando. → A própria garota que se arriscou. NENHUMA DELAS ENXERGANDO O QUE ESTAVA ACONTECENDO. Até que ela fosse jogada. Quando certas pessoas falam que você PRECISA ser (pelo menos um pouco) xenofóbico, é para não deixar idiotas de QI -83 te jogarem de um penhasco.

NEW GRADS: If you're waiting for employers to give you a shot at a job, or even an interview... try BUILDING that dream product, company, or business you want.  No one can tell you otherwise, YOU have the POWER.

Everything you learned late. Teach your children early.

Арнольд Шварценеггер: "Знаешь, почему большинство талантливых людей так и остаются никем? Они включают фальшивую скромность. Они говорят: «Я творец, я просто делаю свою работу. Пускай мир сам меня заметит». Это чушь. Ты можешь быть гением, создавать лучшие продукты или писать шедевры. Но если люди об этом не знают, у тебя ничего нет. Абсолютный ноль. Твой талант просто умрёт вместе с тобой. Умение продавать, продвигать себя. Доносить свою ценность до других и убеждать — это не грязное ремесло. Это величайшее искусство, без которого ты никто. Чем больше людей узнают о том, на что ты способен, тем ближе ты к вершине. Перестань прятаться в тени. Выходи и учись заявлять о себе на весь мир. Твой успех зависит только от этого"
