Edition 20th: Buying freedom, prostitution and consulting, writing advise.

💎 5 Tweet Tuesday  💎

If you're new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw.

I scroll, so you don't have to!

Let's dive in:

#1 💎

Also called scratch your own itch, Jason Fried has an excellent podcast on this. At the last startup I was working for, we were aggressively dogfooding our products. I realized, I myself can’t find it to be useful/enjoyable, how can I expect others to use it? I resigned afterward.

Sadly, a lot of founders and early employees don’t accept this truth. Ask yourself, would you be using your product if it weren’t your creation? If the answer is NO, then you might need to take a step back, my friend.

#2 💎

💯 Gradual path to freedom.

#3 💎

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

#4 💎

Consistency is overrated, intensity is underrated.

As my friend, Juhi said, “Too much is said about consistency and discipline, and not enough about the impact of catching sparks of inspiration, living life in a series of obsessions, capitalizing on motivational momentum and chilling the rest of the time, and building a life that allows for this”

#5 💎

It’s not hard, actually. Take Peter Thiel’s key idea from Zero to 1 and invert it: Consciously go into a niche where many fairly mediocre people do well & just out-compete them. Pretty much guarantees you won’t be a billionaire. Pretty much guarantees you’ll end up ~rich.

 

P.S. Which tweet was gold for you? Reply with the number (#1, #2, #3, #4, or #5)!
