I raised $10,000 for my first company when I was 14. It failed so badly I disappeared for a year. Then a 3 a.m. message changed everything... I was a kid who just wanted to see if online buisnesses worked. Affiliate sites. Dropshipping stores. A "revolutionary" AI app. SaaS tools. I hustled 200 handwritten DMs a day for 30 days to raise that $10k on Kickstarter. Then I handed most of it to a freelancer on Upwork. The app launched. 300 installs. Three sales. The social pages I built for it did 20 million views. The product did nothing. I was crushed. So I did what lost people do. I hid. For a year I read every book. Watched every podcast. Told myself I was "learning." I wasn't building anything. I was just studying how to look like an entrepreneur. Then my dad came home and mentioned a name. William Wolffram. The guy dropped out at 15 and built a company past $100 million. He was my idol. So I sent my first ever cold email, fully expecting nothing. He replied. On that call he taught me more in one hour than a year of books ever did. One line stuck: the best in the world spend 90% of their time doing, not learning. Then at 3 a.m. he sent me a message about something called OpenClaw. I went all in. Many thought I was too young. Many thought I was chasing hype. Many thought a high schooler couldn't sell to real business owners. It's been four and a half months since that message. It's been countless sleepless nights since that message. And it's been over $55,000 in sales since that message. Turns out the year I wasted wasn't the failure. The failure was thinking I had to be ready before I started. PS. I help busy buisness owners and individuals now - autoploy.us ( B2B clients is a whole lot easier than D2C lol)

@TheGBreaker You give me a sandwich and Ill do it lol :)

If someone gave you $10 million today, but you could never use social media again for the rest of your life… would you take it?

@matt_gray_ I think systems are only important once you get off the ground

Founders don't fail from lack of effort. They fail from lack of systems.

@Konnor_Andersen LFG, lets connect man :)

People tell me this is a big day

@KopeBuilds Nice man, lets connect :)

Gearing up to get the next rental. Looking for a 6+ unit building but may have to settle for a 3 or 4plex. Patience pays when you're looking for your deal. Hyped for this next one.

@mattmerrick16 Is this just for X? And is it just for schedueling X posts? Can you generate posts with a fundamental of the X post being from data sources of many viral X posts?

This how much it will cost you if you schedule 7 posts a day on X Posts compared to the other popular sites. And that's every single month. Why aren't you atleast giving it a try?

@remotecleanguy How long have you had the website or SEO? How much have you invested into it?

$7,000 in sales today $0 in ad spend Just good old SEO 🙏

@kushhh292 Hey congrats bro, lets connect man :)

Woke up today and lost my first follower. 3 days in and the honeymoon is officially over 😂

@sflorimm There's going to be 20 more the next month lol

If you understand all 5 of these AI terms, you’re officially early. AI Agents MCP RAG Vibe Coding Context Engineering How many did you know?

@Jayyanginspires Exactly what I'm trying to do now at 16 lol :)

I’m increasingly convinced there is no better use of resources than to invest in growing your personal brand. It shifts the power dynamic in your favor. You go from chasing clients, investors, and teammates to attracting them.

@BuildWithxAI Apple is really the real pushback

I did it! I just submitted my 3rd mobile app to the App/Play store Here we go again.. wish me luck

@TTrimoreau Reputation is everything. You can build back the audience, product and network. Once you lose it, its gone.

You can only keep one: * your product * your audience * your reputation * your network What are you choosing?

@TajGervan Hey I just followed you man, lets connect!

X has genuinely surprised me today. So many people on here actually building, solving real problems, not just talking about it. Somehow sitting at 69 followers right now. Can we get to 100 before I go to bed? Drop what you are building or thinking about 👇

@hthieblot They the real pushback on entrepenuers lol

AI takes 1 hour to build the mobile app Apple takes 3 weeks to review it

@yongfook My billion dollar bizness started like this

I built a multi million dollar business on a $1000 Macbook Air laptop. $100k MRR after 5 years. Insane ROI. I recommend you buy as many laptops as you can.

@ChainChaserVN Hey everyone. Lets connect guys 🤝

@karilovv What are you building?

@TyChen09 LFG

This is what "building a startup" actually looks like. Not the highlight reel. The 1am's. The sleepless nights. No team. No funding. Just me, Claude Code, and a problem I can't stop thinking about. Everyone claps at the launch. Nobody sees the 100 nights that made it possible. If you're up building right now too — keep going. Comment below what you're building :)

@vai1kai hey everyone lets connect!

Imagine you say Hi and 500+ follows you rn
