When you realize that motivation is a comfort zone in disguise, clarity becomes your identity. And when clarity becomes your identity — you become unstoppable.

Motivation is a comfort zone in disguise. Here's how to escape it:

Brutal truth: When you work harder on your job, you'll make a living. But when you work harder on yourself, you'll make a fortune. The truth most people don't want to hear.

@PoojaMedia If this is true, the guy fu!k up.

Nigeria Under-20 international Daniel Daga has been sentenced to six months in prison by the Nordmøre and Romsdal District Court in Norway, Afrik Foot reports. This came after the 19-year-old was convicted of getting involved in a sexual act without the consent of the other party.

@PoojaMedia We're the problem of ourselves. Someone did a video showing how late you can be even going out by 5 am. She's using the video to call out the need of more buses. Only for most people to talk down about the concept.

5am & queue everywhere at bus stops & instead to join her to call out the govt to provide more buses & a good boarding process that will EASE everyone, you are angry that she's making a conscious video? See ehn

@stijnnoorman The hook The body The conclusion

The hook grabs attention. The story holds attention. The lesson rewards attention.

@CoachKingLeon Being efficient makes more sense

Someone who works hard selling things in a shop on a quiet street will not make as much as someone working hard selling to thousands on the internet. ...the secret is not to work hard, it is to work hard on things that scale. Distribution is everything

@Dwriteway The power of compound interest

The first 6 months are the hardest. • You never skip a day. • You stay very humble. • You can’t skip engagement. • You reply to a lot of comments. After 6 months, everything is still hard. But you’ve gotten better at doing them.

@HussainIbarra Winners never quit Quitters never win

I launched my first product 3 years ago. It made me $20 in 90 days. But my last product made me $6,015. Here are 3 lessons I learned that helped me monetize faster and more consistently than most creators on X: == 1) Solve a painful problem My first offer solved a "nice to have" problem. It was a normal swipe file. Nothing fancy. This made me just like every other person in the space with a swipe file. I became a commodity. But with my products now, it's different. I know exactly what my Customer Avatar is struggling with. So when you go and create an offer, they immediately see you as the "go-to" person. == 2) Build upwards Your first offer isn't your last. My current product is the result of iterating for the last 12 months. It started off as a thread-writing cohort. Then I helped people with creating an offer. A month after that, I added launches. And my current cohort has them all combined. If I had to create the cohort from the start, I would have failed. But because I built upwards and iterated, it's much easier to run the program (and deliver results). == 3) Put in more reps Your first post will flop. Your first offer will suck. Your first launch will be horrible. But you need to go through the motions. The more you go through the process, the better you become at it. You just need to be willing to improve, iterate, and ask for help (even if it means getting a mentor). My first launch, I made $20. But then I launched 10 more times. And as a result, in my last 3 cohorts, I made a total of $15,105. Monetization is a skill you need to learn. Take care, Hussain

@ItsKieranDrew Most people aren't real ever since the introduction of AI

Last week, I went viral with a tweet about AI. People flocked to the comments, calling me small-minded, ignorant, and elitist. They said that it’s not about how the thing is produced, just the end product. I was surprised, and wanted to see the other side of the argument. But I can’t. As soon as I know that something is AI-generated, my mind switches off. I lose all emotional connection. Why? Because there is no context. The lessons mean little when the thing producing them hasn’t struggled or suffered. It feels like learning from someone else’s shadow. I find that a big turn-off. I don’t think I am alone in this. I only have so much time to spend reading, and want to spend it with real people who tell real stories. I like writers with weird quirks, worldviews, who put time and thought into their ideas. This group is getting smaller, which is good if you’re on the right side of the equation. As more creators succumb to the temptation of producing easy content, the demand and reward for the human touch will increase. People will feel drawn to the brands that feel most real, and won’t trust those that don’t. I’m not suggesting do not use AI in your business. It is so exciting to see what we can achieve as normal people plonked behind a computer. But keep the writing 𝘺𝘰𝘶. You won’t notice the effect day to day. But the relationships you build as a result will make the effort worth it.

@SahilBloom Most people never finish what they started. Its alarming.

Call me old fashioned, but I think you can get pretty far in life by just finishing things. The world is full of half-written books, half-built businesses, and half-kept promises. You stand out by closing loops. By doing what you said you’d do. By having the courage to finish.

@Tim_Denning Becoming successful at anything requires an unquenchable obsession.

You just first become obsessed before you can ever become wealthy.

@wealth_director Do less to achieve more

The more you wait for approval, the less you achieve. The less you achieve, the more you feel you need approval. Break the loop. Action creates evidence. Evidence creates confidence. Confidence creates the permission you were looking for in the first place.

@MindOfHeadking @itsSh0la It's just a normal thing for ladies to dump you

She dumped her boyfriend for Tariq. 😂

@dickiebush No one will help you.
