@drewfallon12 15 months for some consumer brands 👀

consumer brands might be the only business where you can make 3m+ a year within 2 years of starting

@willnitze 💯

Ironically, to be a "top 1% entrepreneur" you don't actually want to be in the top 1% of anything. You wanna be in the top 25% of five different things (e.g., product, sales, digital marketing, hiring, supply chain, fundraising, etc etc etc). In other words...seek athleticism over genius.

@JWonCATCHING Runners have to be better with the timing of their slides. Seeing too many players sliding past the base this WBC and spring.

The value of middle infielders staying with tags. A good reason to throw even when you don’t have a great chance to throw the runner out. Also if you make it close, you might buy a pitch or two because the runner is trying for a better jump.(Chance for GB DP when not running).

Still rooting for Team USA but damn… these games have been boring as hell to watch. Save me the “this is the American way to play the game” speech. As a former big leaguer you hear all the time at nauseam… we play a kid’s game. Well damn… act like it. Have some fun. Celebrate these moments. The DR, Venezuela, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico… those boys are playing with real juice and you can feel it through the TV. Right now Team USA look dry as hell. I’m talking like somebody just ate a whole pack of saltine crackers in the desert with no water in sight. Still rocking with the boys… but somebody please bring that Adam Jones 2017 energy. 🇺🇸⚾️

@JacquesDrop the commercials say "leaders of tomorrow" because "customers for the next four years" sounds too honest

Every college commercial during a game is the same. “We are tomorrows leaders” “We are innovation” “We build tomorrow” “When you see us.. you know.. we are the future” 🥱

@youderian or you extract the bare minimum of what is needed to support the family. continue to live lean and frugal. fuel the growth. and know you are building something special.

Extracting capital from a fast growing eCom business is nearly impossible. But there's a sweet spot where it does make sense. I surveyed 200+ store owners to figure out where. Here's what I found: The magic growth range is 10-20% annual revenue growth. Half of store owners I surveyed growing 10-20% are able to pull money out. Every other growth bracket? Way less. Why is 10-20% the magic number for distributing capital? Because you're not bleeding cash to fund explosive growth. The business is often mature enough to generate excess. Hypergrowth owners growing 60%+ top line? They look financially identical to sub-$1M businesses when it comes to extraction. Both are pouring everything back in. One by choice, one by necessity. The $1M revenue threshold matters too. Below it, less than 10% of owners are taking anything out. You're still building the machine. That's expected. Once you cross $1M and settle into moderate growth, the window opens. And it widens fast as you scale. At $5M-$25M growing rev 10-20%, three out of four owners are extracting capital. The other thing most people underestimate: margins. Below 5% net profit margin, less than a 1-in-5 chance of pulling money out. At 10-15% margins, that jumps to better than 1-in-2. So the real question isn't "should I extract capital?" It's "am I in the zone where I can?"

@Mashfactory2012 @Mashbaseballs y'all are the best. want me to send you a 120 series on me?

@GoJSUTigersBSB That is a fantastic slide. look at the lead foot, it is on the ground but turned sideways. hands up. figure four, sliding on his butt. only thing you can't tell from the photo. is his lead leg bent to avoid the tag or did he not have it extended?

With NFL HC firings, it's a good time to re-look at a NFL owner rule that would help frustrated fans -If a team doesn't make the playoffs for ten straight seasons, the owner must sell the team -If a team doesn't win a playoff game in a 20-year span, the owner must sell the team

@CoachSheets3 @GGC_Baseball Congrats Coach

Got in the car this morning… old habits are hard to break! Forever a Grizzly. Will always bleed green for @GGC_Baseball. The people, the players, wearing a GClaw. My heart 💚. ‘Uncommon Consistency’ was our goal. ✅ 🔥 FIRED UP 🔥 for this opportunity with Washington & heading down to West Palm Beach! Something special is brewing for the @Nationals… #👊

@1Umairshaikh Was horrible. Biz did great but it beat me down. I was finally able to get the rest to recharge. And had conversations with multiple partners that gave me the clarity I needed for 2026.

STARTUP FOUNDERS How's your mental health now?

@1Umairshaikh Momentum. Work on something that continues to drive your future business forward. Setting boundaries with friends and families. Lean budget to survive on.

Bootstrappers who stayed sane during zero revenue, what’s your secret?

Continuous learning is the only defensible moat.

They are both right. @theisaacmed is right you have to post stuff. post daily. But you have to learn from it, so it gets better, which will lead you to @naval point. There is no demand for average content. You have to grow & get better each day. It needs to evolve & be great.

@thejustinwelsh It’s all good. I prefer it that way. Stay off radar, don’t let people see you coming before it is too late.

We strangely celebrate the startup that raises $4M more than the small business owner who earns $4M.
