If you're a bit like me, you've had a hunch that work has been 'broken' for a long time - and you know employees feel it too. But even if you could fix things, where would you begin? That's exactly why I wrote this book, "The Tip Jar Culture." For you.…lnkd.in/eas9yyzi

You don't have to love what you do for work, but IF you work your "love" into what you do each day...maybe you will.

@CasualArtyFan Bro…I’m just old man.

POV you bought a house in 2024 for $50,000 over asking.

@amandanat Worth considering that, when you’ve found what you truly love, even 3x more work can be enjoyable. For some it’s less about work/life balance than it is about a life where what pays you money is so enjoyable it doesn’t feel like work (most of the time).

That influencer who claims they're making 3x what they used to make in their day job? Sure, this may be true. But I bet you they're working at least 3x harder than when they were an employee. Not saying it's better to be an employee. Just saying: Don't get starry eyed over their income marketing.

I’ve never been a police officer, but I’ve got a toddler. Sometimes, when she’s throwing a tantrum as I buckle her into her car seat, when I shut the door I think I know exactly how cops feel putting a perp in the back of their cruiser 😂

@nick_eubanks Disingenuous ploy is what I’d call it. Both choices you present are possible; either way the experience fails to deliver.

Unpopular opinion: timed product launches when there is no inventory (ie digital products) are stupid. I find your product after the launch has closed, so I email you to see if I can buy it, you say “sorry, it’s no longer for sale” What do you think someone does next?

@1goodtern Fantastic read, with frightening insights

I met with a group of teenagers yesterday. One of their teachers had suggested that I talk to them about career paths because they're all anxious about exams, university choices and future work. Instead of talking to them, I listened, and the actual problem was very different.

Is social media just "competitive journaling?" #randomthought

There are 1,000 billionaires in America.   You know what the average federal tax rate for these billionaires is? 8.2%!  That’s far less than the vast majority of Americans pay.   No billionaire should pay a lower federal tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker, a nurse!

Last night, I ate dinner at a world-class Michelin star restaurant in Medellin. But the most surprising part had nothing to do with the food. Instead, it was the small action they took after dessert. Here's what happened (& how I will apply the simple idea to my business) Shortly after I inhaled the delicious 7th course of starfruit sorbet, the waiter came over to ask me about my experience. We raved about each item, how pleasant the staff was, and how cozy the backroom environment felt. It was a glowing testimonial, one I’m sure he’s heard many times. But rather than let that review float into the ether, he politely pulled out a wooden slab with a QR code, asking if I could take a minute to share my review on Google. Now, I have eaten at a ton of great restaurants over the last few years. But I have never, once, left a Google Review. Why not? 2 big reasons: 1. They don’t ask! Or, they ask too late, when dozens of other life events have gotten in the way. 2. There is always friction! I have to find the website, or the review page, or jump through some long-winded log-in page. But this restaurant handled both of these, which made it an absolute breeze to fill out a review: 1. They asked at the perfect time, right after the most enjoyable part of the meal. I was riding a nice sugar high after the perfectly sweet dessert, feeling excellent about my dining experience. This made me far more likely to leave a review since I was in the middle of the best part. 2. They removed all of the friction for me. The QR code popped straight to the pre-filled review page, meaning it took me less than 30 seconds to fill out. And since I basically just “wrote” the review aloud, I just repeated what I said into the text boxes. And it’s clear this process is working—because they have one of the cleanest Google Review pages I’ve ever seen. So, how am I going to apply this idea to my business? Simple: I will use their exact framework to gather testimonials for our products. 1. I will ask for a testimonial in the lowest friction way possible, taking as much of the effort off the user as possible. 2. I will ask immediately after a moment of peak delight, when the customer is feeling the best about the product and most likely to pay forward that goodwill. Nothing better than finding small business lessons during everyday life moments. Thanks for reading—best of luck putting this into practice for your business ✊ For more frameworks and stories like this, follow me @dickiebush And be sure to like & bookmark this so you can find it later.

Friendly reminder that your work still impacts people who don’t visibly engage with it.

(Sarcasm) at the airport with my 3 year old, and if there was ever a case for allowing parents to give their kids small amounts of alcohol as a sedative…. 😩🤣🙇🏻‍♂️

@Lars Bro belly flopped? I need a follow up of how that decision went for him 🤣

@JodyROWE Seems very plausible-would love to know if there’s been any studies on this.
