Should I be offended @LinkedIn ?

@md_kadiwal Absolutely!!

@TheGoodAlchemy that's the dream. if your product actually solves their problem, retention takes care of itself. the hard part is getting them to that first win

is customer retention harder than customer acquisition?

I haven't heard anyone say "Money can't buy happiness" in a while. Can't believe they used to lie to us like that.

@imakeBADads The part nobody says out loud: you can knock on 1000 doors with the wrong offer and still have $0. The 0-cost model works when your case study does the selling before you open your mouth. Get one result worth pointing at first. Then the doors start opening themselves.

@Mike_Scully_ Everyone's fighting over the 1% who already get it. The 99% still think "AI" is a ChatGPT subscription they signed up for once and forgot about. That's not a saturated market. That's a blank canvas with a ticking clock.

@russellbrunson your most embarrassing problem 3 years ago is someone's $10k coaching program today the pain you already survived is the offer most people sit on a goldmine and call it "just my story"

Entrepreneurship isn’t always about inventing something new. Sometimes it’s simply about helping the person you used to be.

@NotZainAgain this would go crazy the first person to build "Shopify for Claude skills" is going to make an obscene amount of money someone with 5k followers is going to read this and quietly go build it. watch.

Would love to see a marketplace where people could sell pre-built Claude skills. Would should show order counts and reviews like the shopify app store

@Tim_Denning the hustle bros will never tell you this no amount of morning routines prepare you for a 3am feeding where she just stares at you like "yeah I run this now" congratulations, Tim. the ROI on this one hits different

I just had a baby. Social media tells me I made a bad decision. • Make money online • Work 16 hours a day • Cold plunge in the morning I thought they might be right. • My baby doesn't sleep • She vomits on my clean t-shirts • I don't go out anymore • It costs a lot to look after her • Can't travel overseas • We listen to wheels on the bus 100x a day And you know what... This is living. It's given me more meaning than any career. I was torn as to whether I should have a second daughter. I'm so glad I did. The hustle bros were wrong. Having a kid was the best decision of my life.

@JJEnglert this is the difference between people who say "I tried Claude, it's meh" vs people who say "I literally have not opened my email client in 3 weeks" context in = leverage out most people skip step 1 and then wonder why it sounds like a resume generator

How to set up Claude Cowork so it actually works like an AI chief of staff (not just another chatbot): 1. Most people open Cowork, type a message, and get generic output. It's not a Claude problem. It's a setup problem. Cowork needs context before it can help you. Who you are. How you work. What you're building. Your team. Your priorities. Give it that, and every session feels like picking up a conversation with an executive assistant. 2. The setup has three layers: a) Global instructions (who you are, how you work, what Claude should never do). b) Connectors (Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion) c) And a folder structure on your computer that acts as Claude's long-term memory. That combination is what takes it from generic to personalized. 3. Skills are the real leverage. A skill is a markdown file that tells Claude exactly how to do one thing well. Write my newsletter. Coach me on a decision. Review a case study. Each skill lives in its own folder with context, examples, and a definition of what success looks like. 4. We built a CEO coach skill in the video below. Gave it business context, leadership style, company goals. Then tested it with a real decision: should we increase our newsletter from once to twice a week? It came back with trade-offs, second-order consequences, and risk assessment. 5. Then we built a multi-agent advisory board. Five subagents, each with a defined persona: a) the operator b) the skeptic c) the customer advocate d) the finance partner e) the legal/risk advisor. You feed it a decision. Each agent evaluates independently. The main agent synthesizes the feedback. It's like having a board meeting on demand. 6. Third skill: a thought leadership content pipeline. Topic scoring, idea capture, distribution cadence, tone calibration. All built from your actual expertise and audience. Designed so an executive can go from idea to published post without starting from scratch every time. 7. The workspace map is what ties it all together. It's a top-level file that shows Claude how to navigate your entire setup. Which folders exist, what skills live where, how to invoke them. Without it, Claude has to search for everything. With it, Claude goes straight to what it needs. 8. Everything you build is portable. The folder structure works in Cowork, Claude Code, and Codex. Push it to a private GitHub repo and you can access it from your phone through Claude Code, or use Claude Dispatch. 9. The pattern is repeatable. Pick a task you do often. Create a folder. Build a skill. Add examples of what success looks like, and what a bad output looks like. Test it. Workshop it. Move on to the next one. Each skill is like onboarding a new employee who never forgets and never needs to be re-trained. The people who invest in this setup now are the ones who will have a 10x advantage when these tools get even better. And they're getting better fast. I sat down with @alexlieberman on Human In The Loop and we built all three of these live from scratch. Full breakdown in the video below.. I tried to explain this as clear as possible for my non-developer crowd. Send it to someone who should be using Cowork but isn't yet. Or bookmark it to level up when you're ready. Watch 👇🏼

@Codie_Sanchez the correct response to this isn't panic it's "ok so what do I own that can't be replaced?" skills rent. assets compound. that's the whole game now

You eventually start to realize, no job is safe.

@coreyganim step 5: clients refer you to their friends step 6: you never have to cold outreach again sometimes the simplest plays print the most money

the play: 1. pick one plugin from this article 2. build it this weekend 3. sell it to 5 local businesses for $2K each 4. charge $300/mo to maintain it that's $10K upfront + $1,500/mo recurring from a single plugin you built in two days. you're welcome.

@Codie_Sanchez that person isn't deranged they just can't unsee what's possible the rest of the team is still pretending it's 2022

You know that person on your team with AI Derangement Syndrome who won't stop talking about what AI could do for the business? They've already built three internal tools over the weekend and sent them to the team on Slack. Whatever you do...don't shut them down. Fund them. Get out of their way.

@LeilaHormozi the wins make you happy the losses make you dangerous

You don't build confidence by winning every time. You build it by surviving the times you lose.
