Is anybody running a service that takes your vibe coded apps / websites and turns them into more maintainable code/no code solutions? Like, I want to create a website in lovable, but eventually have a framer website or webflow

This is really good
As an AE, I spent months trying to get into an account at “senior” levels. No one responded. I started reaching out to entry-level professionals. One agreed to meet. I could have quickly disqualified them as they were clearly not the right contact. Fortunately, I still decided

For every one of these, I just want to post my receipts (Extremely well written) cold outreach that is clear, relevant, and gets to the point Gets a call directly Drove $4-$8k monthly engagements that lasted for 12+ months Just get to the point
Most common DM mistake? Trying to close the sale instantly. I spent 6 weeks talking with a lead. Now last week he paid me $1.5k/mo. I first dmed him on 1st of July. No offer. No pitch. No pressure. And now he became a high ticket client. The best leads aren't rushed.

What’s wild is none of this has to do with sales, marketing, or even “finding PMF” It’s a fascinating approach to entrepreneurship Pick a really hard problem where if you solve it, huge businesses are inevitable (get to space cheaply) Then solve it
Marc Andreesen explains Elon’s management approach: 1. Engineer-first organizations and find truth by speaking with those working on the floor (avoid management layers). 2. Every week, find the most important bottleneck at a company and parachute in to fix it. 3. Keep model of

This is obviously someone’s very intentional meme account… why follow this guy?
Met with a brilliant young American student He desperately wants to build a startup But he's disheartened by the lack of regulatory oversight provided by the government "I want to build, but the government isn't telling me what to build," he lamented. I suggested that he move

Not to be picky, but none of these actually move the needle on growth… I read another tweet though (can’t remember the author) that said scaling is the art of keeping things going as revenue grows, and that’s what these do. But not growth, for that, gotta follow @JamesonCamp
If I were launching a services business today, here are the 10 tools I'd use to hit $1M in year one: 1. @n8n_io - Build an AI workforce. Automate proposals, client onboarding, reporting. We saved 20 hours/week on repetitive tasks within month one. 2. @SpaceChenst (Good

This is the way lol I’ve had similar success - getting back in touch with old clients, doing a double LI / email reach out, and getting meetings and clients.
You should send follow ups until someone tells you to f*ck off. Just closed two separate deals after 23 and 62 follow ups. Wild.

If I had $0 and a brand new start up I wanted to reach $10k MRR, I’d do this: - set up social listening, go plug your product every time someone mentions problem it solves try - write one article a week that’s seo friendly and geo friendly. BUT also works in objection handling

Wow, truth
Scaling isn't about selling more... ...it's about fixing what breaks when you sell more.

Ugh, he’s right.
The difference between $100K/month and $1M/month is just math and the balls to execute it

What would it be worth to have a b2b growth engine that had content, outbound, ads, and email all working in concert - full stack, done for you. Start slow, then when it’s working pour fuel on it.

This reads like an ad for @HurwitzJake agency @thursday_labs They: 1) take off the entire operation lift 2) produce super high quality 3) distribute content at a high level So yes, if your business is ready, Jake can do this, done for you.
An entrepreneur friend texted me, asking my opinion on whether or not he should start a podcast. Here's what I said:

This. For early stage startups. That’s me.
strategists who can do the work. tacticians that incorporate strategy. these aren't the same but either way, the intersection of these two things are in short supply tbh. if this is your skillset you need to scream about it - you'll prob get paid well for it, freelance or FT.

I have a question for @realEstateTrent We have about 70 retail and office tenants across 4 properties, and when I ask for renewed insurance cert each year, so so many give me coverage that’s not compliant (even when last year WAS compliant). How do I solve for this?!

I’m pretty sure the main thing @nikitabier has been up to is getting this 30% off premium ad to flash up on the screen 10 times a day

This gets you customers, doesn’t take a ton of time, and is purely accretive to your day job. Keep doing both or leave day job once service biz grows enough.

I kind of have a solution 1) figure out something you can coach on / a service you can offer, that fits into nights / weekends / schedule at work 2) start LI outbound toward prospects 3) slowly refine the offer and target until it starts to work, let it run on autopilot
I did a consulting call today with a 33 year old guy who makes $150k a year at a fully remote job. 30-40 hrs a week. 2 kids + wife. This is a really tough spot to be in. Makes $2k a month more than he spends every month. Zero chance at long term wealth but too easy and
