Losing a business and having to start over is rough. When I was 29 years old, I lost the business that I loved, and with it, a big piece of my identity at the time. For anyone struggling with the same thing, here's the path I've been on for the last few years 👇

Whats a simple and easy to use Nocode form Builder?

I'm making a marketing buzzword/jargon bingo board to play during calls. What word makes you cringe in a meeting?

You don’t need an expensive lead database Linkedin is the largest b2b database available to you for free 🤯 I wrote a script to scrape Linkedin search results and download them as csv ❤️ Like + comment ‘send’ and I’ll dm you the doc containing: - the script - instructions

Marketers bring in relevant visitors to the website through various channels like social media, paid ads, and organic channels. These efforts go in vain when the incoming visitors are under-utilized. 🧵 T H R E A D (settle in - this is a long one )

@avantgray This is such a huge pain point that many business owners don't even realize exists 🔥

@notiondad Cool watches though

I tried an AI profile picture maker so you don't have to 😂 $9 well spent

Ignoring self-care. Laser focus on business is great, but there are hidden costs to not taking care of your physical, mental, or family health. Lesson: Dedicate (even block off in your calendar) time for what's really important in life - gym, sleep, & spend time with family.

I'm celebrating a year as a solopreneur this week - I was able to cross the 6-figure mark for the first time in my life by betting on myself 🤯 But, I made a TON of embarrassing rookie mistakes. Here are the most painful ones, so maybe you don't have to make them as well:

@gaetano_nyc @keif_xyz

I need a Webflow Developer - freelance or agency to help with a client project. Any recommendations?

@keif_xyz We all go through it - kudos to you for recognizing it

Hit a huge burnout over the last few weeks. My go-to when I hit a wall like that is to eat terribly, drink, and want to quit everything. Wasn't taking care of myself at all for a bit there. Took a good long break over easter, recharged, and connected with friends and family. This helped, but I know going into this week I really need to make some important changes. Few things I need to focus on: - Trusting others to do their job - Hiring some talent - Focus on agency growth and development - Get my hands out of projects. (Let others work) - Manage & scope projects better - Get back into healthy habits Burnout sucks to go through, but I feel like It always helps me learn some hard lessons. Building companies really can put you through it but these situations are mostly just showing you what you need to see. Hope sharing this makes you feel better if you are ever going through it! 😊

@natmiletic @clickup Their documents have gotten a lot better as well, looking forward to 3.0

To me, @clickup is way more than a project management tool We use it for task tracking, video recording, documentation, standard operating procedures, knowledge repository, employee training, time tracking, and client collab And I am discovering new ways to use it every day
