Pat Flynn

The roller coaster of emotions I’ve gone through with this project, and it’s finally arrived.

I was in Times Square...on a billboard! Unreal! 🤯 Thank you to @circleapp for the opportunity, but more importantly thank you for being an amazing company that I've had the pleasure of working closely with for the past 5 years. We use Circle to host our community at SPI, and I've been an advisor since the early days, and to see how far they've come, and all they continue to do to serve communities all around the world...I couldn't be more proud of their success! It was an honor to be featured here alongside several other epic community leaders, but it's the members of each of our communities on these platforms that truly make it special. I was bullish on community in 2019 when I wrote about it in Superfans, and I'm even more bullish on it now today. If you aren't building community, you're going to be left behind. And of course, I recommend Circle to build it on!

My first YouTube video was awful. Bad lighting. Bad audio. Awkward delivery. But that messy start changed everything. It led to 4 million subscribers and opportunities I never knew existed. After 15 years on YouTube, here’s what I’ve learned: 👉 Perfectionism kills more dreams than failure ever will 👉 Your first attempt won’t be your best, but it’s your most important 👉 Consistency beats perfection every time If you’re waiting for the “perfect moment” to start, it doesn’t exist. You create it by starting. And the best time to start? Right now. Join @CalebWojcik and me for a free live webinar on October 28th at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET, where we’ll share exactly what we’d do if we were starting a channel from scratch today. 🎥 Save your spot: smartpassiveincome.com/events/youtube… #YouTubeTips #YouTubeCreators #CreatorEconomy #ContentCreator #StartBeforeYoureReady

@timeisvillmatic @AustinJohnPlays That's me! :)

@AustinJohnPlays Is that a @PatFlynn cameo in the 4th picture?

This has been the best event I’ve ever attended! I was here for YOU guys. I spent about 26 hours over the last 5 days taking selfies, having lines form to meet me, signing games, systems, clothing, merch, badges, all things Charizard related and and any other random things you guys handed me- it was awesome. Thank you! It makes this regular guy from Jersey really phenomenal! The impromptu lines that formed over the last 5 days were filled with people who shared stories on when they got back into Pokémon I was there to welcome them back in & guide them through weekly raid builds. A LOT of people said my Animal Crossing videos navigated them get through lonely Covid times & Zelda fans said my guides made them enjoy their favorite series for so many more hours than they ever played another game. Some even shared that they endured loss or hardships in their lives and I was there to help. Every person had a story that I will never forget. Getting to meet Casters, The Pokémon Company International staff, Nintendo of America staff, and event staff has made this the best week of my professional career. And hearing the Thank You’s from the fans from around the world has definitely been one of the the highlights of my entire life. I tried my hardest to make myself available, but if you didn’t get to see me on the grounds, the world’s floor, the arena, or the Eternamax raid. I’m sorry. YOU guys are the very best, like no one ever was. Thank you for spending #pokemonworlds2025 with me. Thank you @Pokemon for the opportunity and the accommodations to make it all possible. I can’t wait for bigger and better things next year in San Francisco for #pokemonworlds2026. See you next year, or hopefully sooner.

@GatewayCollects I swore off those in 1998 🤣

@PatFlynn Time to break out the old JNCOs, Pat.

Shopping back to school for the kids - and all the clothes are baggy again! Just like when I was in high school. When did this happen? And I mean like BAGGY BAGGY 😳

@DNadalsky @AlexHodges I'll be there!

@PatFlynn @AlexHodges are you guys attending worlds next week?

If you get an email from me about some crypto thing, it’s NOT me, it’s a scam. Beware! 😩

Big win – featured in Forbes this week, and it's all about Lean Learning! Woot! forbes.com/sites/rodgerde…

@thestudycoachIE Jealous! Hope you enjoyed the show!

@PatFlynn watching a stage rendition of Back to the future on holidays with the kids in La Sirene Camping in the south of France and you came to mind. Power of story telling 😀 👏

@mcmanus13 @garyvee Thank you so much Justin!

What an excellent book! Highly recommended! Thank you! @PatFlynn @garyvee

So @PatFlynn was kind enough to send me a copy of his new book I didn’t realize how much I needed it. Fantastic book so far, especially for people who love to learn

@TheSingingNurse Thank you Dawn 🫶

@PatFlynn Enjoying the 1st $ Formula Series email Pat. It’s easy to get discouraged❣️Thanks 4 the encouragement, Kudos to your efforts❣️ ✨🎵💜 M & D

For social media, does anyone use a third-party tool to post on their behalf? I worry that may stunt reach since it's not native. Any ideas or research done on this?

@jjeffrose Very nice. Thanks for the specificity and proof Jeff! I was always taught 3rd party tools stunt growth but it seems these platforms have removed the penalty for that, or at least some.

@PatFlynn I’ve doubled down on Facebook for the past 90 days and these are my results primarily using Buffer to post my content

@JoshCreatesCopy There's something very true about that benefit

@PatFlynn Y'know, I only have anecdotal information, but when I use third-party tools I don't get sucked in to a 27-minute doomscroll session, so I use them anyway.

@Wulfsilven1984 First pack magic?? Nice!

@PatFlynn just pulled a Cynthia's garchomp ex ex special illustration rare on my very first pack of destined rivals!!
