@fm100 @commitify @focusmate thanks. it's a little hard to fathom but makes sense that this would work considering how heavily people are already leaning on chatgpt for therapy-like support.

@commitify Hey Taylor, this is worth checking out. It reminded me of when I first discovered @focusmate back in 2019. @TaylorJacobson

@austinc3301 Focusmate gives me so much consumer surplus it’s ridiculous

Boom.
@focusmate has hit 100 @Trustpilot reviews, with this beauty coming in earlier today 🔥
Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this amazing community and helped spread the good word!

Capitalism isn't the problem.
People (with no scruples) are the problem.
Case in point:
@ImpossibleFoods coming for my friend @joelrunyon 's brand @ImpossibleHQ (even though Joel's biz has been around much longer).
Capitalism is 100% compatible with human decency.
Joel Runyon@joelrunyon
For the last 3.5 years – the fake meat giant @impossiblefoods has been suing my company @impossiblehq (est 2010) trying to cancel our trademarks. After their first attempt was thrown out, they doubled down & now are suing me (personally) as well. Here's what's going on 👇🏼

stoked for my guy @andreasklinger 's fund rebrand to Prototype Capital.
great investor, great advisor, great human.
proud to have him in our corner at @focusmate .
Andreas Klinger 🦾@andreasklinger
🚨 Hey folks I got something to announce: I am launching a new investment fund brand: Prototype Capital 🦾 A globally-active first-check investment fund. We focus on cool stuff that's technical hard to achieve, but also still new enough to be a bit weird – globally. Think Robotics in Eastern Europe, AI in SF, Software remotely, OpenSource SaaS, Space-tech in India, Reindustrialization of Europe, AI Agents in Brazil, among many others… - $100k-$200k - we say we invest early and we actually mean it - with every 5th investment we are the first to commit - only 6% of all ivnestments were after seed - the brand will be a larger umbrella for all kinds of stuff from our own prototypes 😬, to streams, to communities, to investinpublic transparency efforts - this is legally speaking a rebrand of my previous solo GP fund so we got track record to proof - we do about 15-20 investments per year Link in thread! 🔥 Please RT if you got a sec – Appreciate your launch support 🙏❤️

@ipratham10 @focusmate well done!! and thanks for the feedback.

@TaylorJacobson @focusmate I just crossed 800+ mark. I believe the words, personalization in email along with the community worked for me very well.
English
I broke one of my largest streak (until now of constant 6 months any app) of using @focusmate but,
the person behind email marketing/notification content curation convinced me to start my streak again maybe a bigger this time after a gap of 3 months.
Who is that person?

@focusmate Am v close to signing up. I used to use @caveday but it's a bit rigid for my liking!
I'd love it if @focusmate had the ability to do "instant" matches. Rather than having to wait on the 15 minute.

Morning all. Trying out @focusmate this morning.
Let's SMASH it this week 💪

@gustavoarizpe @focusmate hola Gustavo, gracias por la sugerencia! Tomaremos en cuenta esta idea :)

Hi @TaylorJacobson. I've seen many @focusmate endorsements from ADHD professionals. Here's one from a recent webinar with a top ADHD coach. Maybe it would be worthwhile for Focusmate to create a systematic outreach campaign.
English
@gustavoarizpe @focusmate that's a cool hack! we should probably create some kind of partnership to make a permanent Focusmate station like that easy for people...
English
@TaylorJacobson just learning you live here in CDMX, I'm really digging @focusmate. Awesome and incredibly useful product to get things done. I even set up a SIMless smartphone as a dedicated Focusmate station.
English
@TaylorJacobson Never saw you on focusmate, I thought the founder was Sa'aa with 17k sessions
English
@TaylorJacobson ooooh that's a great point, ty! and thanks for making such a genuinely helpful product, and for making it affordable 🙇♀️
English
@businessbarista These are 🔥.
True story, l recruited the first ever ~five @focusmate users to do Focusmate sessions with me as my main support to build the MVP of Focusmate when it was just lonely ol' me in the early days. Been using it ever since.

Things I’d do differently as a 2nd time founder:
1) Stop being CEO the second I’m no longer best qualified or stop enjoying the role
2) Prioritize way more ruthlessly
3) Hire via freelance-to-full time way more frequently
4) Use EOS on day 1
5) Create a personal operating manual for teammates like @chughesjohnson
6) Set an expectation of Radical Candor (h/t @kimballscott) with all employees as part of onboarding
7) Raise $ via an SPV vs collecting 28 individual checks and docs
8) Spend more time talking to customers
9) Use @storyarb to help me create content so I can focus more time on building
10) Have 2 no-call days per week
11) Issue C-Corp shares ASAP so the QSBS timer starts
12) Monthly temperature checks with co-founder
13) Hire someone who handles ops/HR earlier
14) “Traction” and “15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership” are required reading
15) Use @focusmate for deep work sessions

@syedbalkhi @neilpatel @YPO @HamptonFounders @thesamparr I had been planning to opt for a coach for the last few months, but something has been stopping me from going through with that. Your,@syedbalkhi tweet, as well as those of @neilpatel, have given me more clarity on this.
English
There is definitely a lot of truth in this hot take by my friend @neilpatel
In my experience, Peer Groups > Coaches ... Especially long term.
I find my @YPO forum immensely helpful. There are many other good ones like @HamptonFounders by @thesamparr as well as @EntrepreneurOrg
If you want to work with a coach, have a clear objective and timeline. Keep the commitment short term and reevaluate the tangible value that you are getting frequently.
IMO the best thing for entrepreneur is a peer group.
Neil Patel@neilpatel
The dumbest thing you can spend money on as an entrepreneur is a business coach. I just don’t get it. I know so many people who spend money on coaches. And they always tell me, oh this coach is so successful, smart, and rich… It’s a bunch of bull… if the coach were that rich from their previous ventures, they wouldn’t be a coach. And if they truly wanted to be a coach because they “loved” it... then they would do it for free because they don’t care for the money. Or they would do it for equity in your company and only make money if you made money. I just don’t get why people hire business coaches that charge money on a monthly or annual basis. If you want mentorship, there are others ways to get it. And no, it doesn’t have to cost money. Plus the coaches you really want help from, the ones who know what they are doing, won't just help you out for money. They don't run Facebook ads to try and get your money. It's much harder to convince them. And the coaches who are rich and have fancy houses and cars, it's from all people that are paying them for coaching.
