Five years ago I left my career in tech to own/operate a plumbing supply house because I wanted to chase an entrepreneurial itch in a space I (stupidly) thought would be straightforward. Reality is the day-to-day of running a supply house is one of the most operationally complex

After following @_hunterhammonds for a few months, I've been thinking more about productized services. I wonder if there's a new type of agency to be built in pitch deck design, partnering with creators who have strong founder networks and proofing decks with young analysts

I recently found @BessemerVP's incredible free course on SaaS GTM strategies. It walks through lessons on PMF, expanding top-of-funnel, and forming channel partnerships. I encourage you to check it out! https://t.co/sthCG9j7Vn

#TodayI Explained two-way door vs one-way door decisions. Had Pilates with Joey Freeman of Pilates Core Club and was able to touch my toes for the first time since I was a teenager. Chatted with @LindbladBlake of @CrescentFund. Was pitched by @kartikbharadia of retailkind. Had a

The creator economy is seeing a new rise in accessible capital from funds and accelerators such as @NightVentures_ and @Mythical. I'm excited to see how creators utilize these to strengthen their brands and further monetize their communities! https://t.co/6qIW4au5p0

15 websites that every startup founder NEEDS to know about (and 3 you likely never heard of) 👇

Day 10 of #100DaysOfNoCode Today I created three web apps using @TrueSource_io! I downloaded data on restaurants and connected it to user reviews. True Source makes it easy!

Day 9 of #100DaysOfNoCode Today I built a mobile app using @glideapps. I've been working with Glide for several months, and have been impressed by the efficiency and customizability that it provides!

I'll be sharing my progress in rebranding and building out my marketing campaigns, so make sure to drop a follow to stay tuned for updates!

3. The seller had "bigger fish to fry" This is a big one. I have found countless listings on @microacquire and @Flippa that had this reason for selling. If you can contact the seller early, make a semi-reasonable offer, there's a good chance they'll take it.

2. The niche is in a saturated market. The seller had listed the five top-selling AliExpress products in the product niche, without any product customization or branding. No additional product photography or descriptions were added to the Shopify site.

1. The marketing was lacking. The business still had profitable Facebook ad campaigns, but the ads were tired. No engaging videos, no attention-grabbing copy. No thoughts of influencer marketing or affiliate programs either.

Two weeks ago, I bought by first business that has done nearly $80k in TTM revenue. I bought it for $2,000. Here's how I got it for so cheap and what I've learned from the process thus far:

Day 8 of #100DaysOfNoCode Today I built a personal wiki using @notionhq! I have been using Notion for a while now, but it was amazing to learn that @PopsyHQ allows you to turn your pages into beautiful websites!

Day 7 of #100DaysOfNoCode 🎉 I've made it through my 1st week in no-code! In that time I've made a journal, personal site, form, resource directory and automations using @airtable, @softr_io, @tallyforms, @bannerbearHQ, @typedreamHQ and @mmmdotpage! No-code is so rad!

Thanks for your inspirational content! @thesamparr @AuthenticDom @SqueegeeGod @quinnjmiller @JamesonCamp @jspeiser @AlexHormozi @agazdecki @HainingMax @daviefogarty

Day 6 of #100DaysOfNoCode I decided to switch it up and feature a few Twitter accounts that have changed my view on entrepreneurship in the past few weeks. Check it out:

Day 5 of #100DaysOfNoCode Created an automation with @bannerbearHQ. Excited to build a resource directory tomorrow!
