@garrytan @Mashstartup The first turn of the wheel is the hardest.

Forward momentum in startups is a defining characteristic of the ones that make it. Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest stay at rest. Keep moving, my friends!

The first turn of the wheel is the hardest.

@andy__sommer @ValKatayev Does this mean you have to reply from your main address? or can you reply from the sub address without opening anothet app?

@ValKatayev I choose my main account and funnel all the others in via aliases. Then via Notion Mail (Superhuman) I create views (split views) for each email address. It’s worked great so far.

What is the best unified email setup for someone who has multiple inboxes (due multiple companies)? Unified Inbox Support: - Gmail desktop doesn’t support (only mobile app does) - Superhuman doesn’t support (would be amazing if they would!!) What do you all use in that situation?

@CindyPoluta After 8 months of no rent payments. We decided it was important to do maintenance on the doors as winter was starting. Left them with the security gates but took the doors to a carpenter. Electrical fault sadly happened same time. 1 week and they left.

Landlords with residential tenants who have not paid rent and refuse to move out…. How have you resolved the matter.

@IsMiseDaniel @lownyp And what taken the metro bus back to the athletes village? Hope he had a ticket on home.

@cyclingfun2 @SBSSportau The tweet reads ‘a stage victory.’ But live and let live. Biniam put together a world class tour and is a great ambassador for the sport across Africa.

@jmtrow @SBSSportau He won 1 stage win not 3

Biniam Girmay was an absolute revelation at this year's Tour de France, becoming the first African to achieve a stage victory... And then win two more!! 🥇 Here was his reaction to his Eritrean fans celebrating his success 🇪🇷

Great to see Olympic and World Champion rower James Thompson @jmtrow thriving in the business world and sharing his story of success @WorldRowing

@AndreBothmaTax Challenge is you are dealing with the start up owner pre income and thus very limited $$ to make operations viable. But if business is positioned as a lead generation to further services into the small business it work.

Helping my wife come up with a business idea. New businesses often require: CIPC registration Share certificates An assigned accountant BEE certificate Tax clearance Bank account What if this is packaged into a neat package and sold as a standalone product?

@MonsterJam Sadly your traffic management team still has everyone queuing outside. Over two hours of gridlock.

Johannesburg, it’s go time 🟢 #MonsterJam

@tracylee421 @showtime_sa this is the worst traffic management plan ever seen at FNB stadium. 90minutes to queuing passes 1 traffic marshal. 2 km to go. #MonsterJamSA

#MonsterJam Johannesburg … trying to get to the arena and it’s an absolute nightmare .. going on 1:30 what should have taken 20min

@jc_za @JoePompliano @lancearmstrong Love a good fiction.

@JoePompliano It’s not about the bike - @lancearmstrong

What is the best sports book you’ve ever read?

2023 going to be a interesting year for local e-commerce with Amazon arriving. Mind blowing numbers: almost 50% of South Africa's 2022 e-commerce spend (R55billon) is on Takealot, they are running at a 3% loss and must now deal with Amazon arrival. businesstech.co.za/news/trending/…

@jc_za @Cyclingnewsfeed Dollars. Added plenty dollars to the organisers.

@Cyclingnewsfeed Sure it’s an unpopular opinion but these 3 stages has added nothing to the race. Let’s go to Spain and start proper racing #LaVuelta22

@hiltontarrant @ortambo_int Have been wondering what's happening over last few visits. Clearly battling to keep it together. Must have been a management change in last 12months.

This is the least of ACSA’s problems at @ortambo_int. So many lifts, escalators, people movers and automatic doors out of order. Many more barely working. Very obvious lack of maintenance in recent years. (Yes – Covid – but still…)

@JSE_Group R35 a day on coffee get you to R12.5k. assuming you don't have to buy your own coffee at home. It's not a rough example, it's 70% out from reality.

@dannicholl @timharris @SoldierboyInc @MapsMaponyane @JohnSmit123 @CJBents @Daniel_Egdes @granthepburn Sorry it took 3 days to see this, I was just in the rough looking for my balls.

‘Meet Maurice Flitcroft, the world’s worst golfer’. Suspect there’s a long list of contenders here - feel free to add your suggestions. I’ll start with @timharris, @jmtrow - and @SoldierboyInc the moment his ‘phone comes out on the course.

Successful people have two things that differentiate them: 1. They've learned how to embrace and deal with failure from an early age 2. They have a broad set of mental models that allow them to see and approach problems from a different angle
