Most product builders want to create great things, but those things need to generate a profit or else there's no point in doing them because you can't have a business. If you're not making money, you have to close the business. Otherwise, you're running a charity.

@CodeWizard I’ve run +250 customer discovery and validation projects for various clients and realised I can train Agents to do that instead of me. What’s been the hardest part so far on your end… building the product or figuring out distribution?

@TheCollabChef I did not expect this post to blow up, I'm gunna be very busy 😂 What made you want to start HolyShift?

If you're building a SaaS and growing on X, we're officially friends now 🫡 Drop what you're working on below - I'm spending this weekend nerding out over your projects 👇

@brahma_4u Exactly right! That's perfect ad.

When the team pushes in 3 directions, I need to remind myself that I need to create space for each member to work alone, but toward the same goal. Often they realize they're saying the same things, just with different words.

@TimJayas Without audience: You'll be playing on hard mode. With audience: You'll understand what to build & why.

As a founder, what do you build first? - The product - The audience

What non fiction book would you recommend to a fiction reader ?

@thejustinwelsh ...and have a proven track record of successful results!

If you're just getting started in entrepreneurship, your number one goal should be getting in a room with people who think bigger than you do.

Time is your only finite resource. An hour spent building the wrong product is an hour you can never buy back.

@unomasss Honestly? it helped with both. I still wander sometimes, but way less. The biggest change is I don’t feel that heavy guilt afterward because I’m more in control of what I’m doing.

@TheCollabChef sounds like such a smart setup 👏 When you made those changes, did you notice the biggest difference in actually remembering what you picked up your phone for or more in just spending less time getting lost in other apps?

Funny how one “quick check” on my phone turns into 30min gone. I’ve tried detox apps + timers, but they never stick. Women what actually works for you to cut screen time without guilt? #phoneaddiction

How I introduced myself before: 👎 “I run workshops.” How I do it now: 👍 “I help leadership teams stop arguing in circles and help them make important decisions that move the needle for their organisation.” One was selling Post-it notes. The other sells outcomes.

What’s the most painful #workshop or #meeting experience you’ve ever had?

The best #facilitators don’t solve problems. They just make space for others to solve them.

Tired of ads and social feeds ruining your morning motivation? 5 mins of Alex Hormozi hits me harder than an hour of sassy motivational content. But finding that kind of raw, tactical stuff without ads or clutter? Feels harder than it should be. How do you start your mornings?

#Meetings can be like a game. We need rules and tools to make sure everyone plays well together and gets stuff done.

Myths of Product Innovation: - Start with tech - Prioritize technical capabilities - Needs inferred from tech trends The Reality: - Start with end-user needs - Create value by solving real problems - Use tech as a supportive tool Don’t believe everything you read.

To truly excel in user testing and unlock its value, focus on these 3 essentials 👇 1️⃣ Consistency is Key Regularly engage with users. Make this a routine, not a rarity. This nurtures empathy and makes the approach more relatable. 2️⃣ Inclusive Approach Involve diverse teams in crafting interview questions. Encourage their presence during tests and share findings. This broadens perspectives, deepening empathy and insight. 3️⃣ Embrace the Human Touch While numbers and surveys have their role, nothing beats personal interaction. Active listening and spontaneous responses in interviews reveal invaluable insights. Do these resonate with you? 🤔 Any vital elements you think should be added to user testing?

Too many meetings, too little action? 🔄 Time to flip the script. Let's transform endless discussions into decisive doings. 🚀 Embrace the 'do more, talk less' mantra.
