I’m 32 Didn’t feel like an adult until my late twenties... Don’t rush. Try things. Travel. Make mistakes. Learn. It all makes sense later.

Most "I know this" is actually "I know someone who knows this." There’s nothing wrong with that, but it fools your judgment. Write two lists: - what I can explain cold - who I depend on Keep them separate.

I’ve worked with creators under 1k followers who are monetizing. I’ve worked with creators over 50k followers who weren't making a dollar. The difference? One built the audience and the offer at the same time. The other is still waiting for the “perfect timing”

The only thing more important than money is health. Anyone telling you otherwise is lying to you.

@theo_jil That's the harsh, but very real truth.

Your bank account doesn’t lie. You are exactly where you belong.

@VadimStrizheus Execution all day

As a founder, what’s more important? 1. Speed 2. Marketing 3. Execution

One click and it’s gone. Client’s ad account permanently banned today (not X, you know the usual suspects) No warning. No clarity. Appeal denied. 9 months of work wiped out. Big platforms will F you over, and 9 times out of 10 there’s no real reason and nothing you can do. Never rely on one channel. Build your funnel. Build your e-mail list.

@jayclouse Well done, mate! I'm still building up the courage to shave the melon... needs to be done

New Year new me! Truth be told, I’ve been transforming into a “hat guy” for years because with baldness all through my family, it was inevitable. Then, I caught a shot of myself bending down in front of our Ring camera a couple months ago, and my bald spot gave me a jump scare. I knew the time had come. Special thanks to @noahkagan for absolutely insisting on the move back in March.

The only intelligence that actually counts is the kind that delivers the life you want to have

@theoldfilipaf Imagine how many people you could help though if you had that kind of money

I’ve never understood the point of generational wealth. Why would you want to make hundreds of millions of dollars when you have no real use for more than $200k/m? Fine if you love what you do & just accidentally end up there, but aiming for it is just a waste of your life imo.

@OsamaGodwin Yes sir

@alex___vale Hustle without presence turns success into another burden.

If you’re under 21 and thinking about building an online business, read this slowly: It took me almost a decade of bad calls, dumb ideas, and starting over before anything online actually worked... Ten years. That’s a big chunk of life. The part that annoys me? I didn’t enjoy most of it. I built from pressure. From comparing myself to people ahead of me. If I could redo it, I’d still work just as hard, but I’d build with curiosity. With a bit more lightness. It's not a race.

@OsamaGodwin 100%

Is it normal to outgrow friends, even if nothing bad happened?

@OsamaGodwin Yes... a very common tale and we are the only ones that have the power to decide how we experience the whole journey

@alex___vale ten years of grind without enjoyment is common story. pressure-driven building works but costs differently than curiosity-driven.

@theoldfilipaf Bring on 2026

December was by far my slowest month in Q4. Probably because I didn’t work since the 15th but whatever. Looking forward for 2026 a ton. Gonna be a fun year in business. See you at the top kings.

@OsamaGodwin Because it could result in confrontation. People generally don't like confrontation.

@OsamaGodwin Yeah. Most of the real work is quiet, boring, and un-postable. That’s where the trenches are

Most people on here are cosplaying founders. Playing business. Worshipping busyness. Confusing noise for movement. I write for the ones in the trenches.

@Clintonkadry Thanks, Clinton! Just doing my best 🙏

@alex___vale A decade is a whole lot of time, bro You're a winner for staying this long in the game

Corporate lawyer/investment banker → Financially free in 15–20 years… but miserable through your 20s and 30s. High-risk startup → Tiny chance of a $100M exit, big chance you end up depressed and burn out. Lifestyle business → Work online, stay flexible, build something steady, and actually like your life while doing it. The older I get, the happier I am with the choice I made.

@Clintonkadry Happy New Year Clinton!
