I see so much food with "zero sugar" these days. But they still taste sweet... So what's the better option? Chemicals or natural sugar?

This is how to have success with outbound DMs on X: At the beginning of your personal brand journey (months 1-6), most of your new clients won't be inbound. You must do a high volume of outbound if you want clients quick. Follow this playbook ↓
When I decide who to comment on, I treat it like a daily workout plan. Each client gets a mix: - ICP profiles - People in the same industry - Big creators their ICP follows The goal is to build a small circle of familiar faces who recognize you before the DM.

Been helping a friend grow his personal brand on X (he just got his first client in 5 days in). Here are his questions (and my answers) ↓ Question 1: What's the time commitment needed to see results? Depends on a few factors: 1. Current account size / status 2. Level of

Business is an absolute rollercoaster. Things don't go your way... A LOT. When something bad happens, I give myself a short period of time to sulk. 5 minutes later, I get up, tell myself to stop being a b*tch, and get back to work. Progress makes the scaries go away.

This is how we grew a local startup (@Greenbox_storag) to a national storage company. We hired great interns like @jessdeblasi to launch branches of our company on their campus. Jess did such a great job, I hired her a couple years later to join us at FounderBrands.
At 20, I launched a campus branch of an existing storage startup. Within 2 months, students lined up daily. I found the right crowd, gave them a reason to stop, and tracked what worked. The best marketing still comes from noticing what makes people stop and engage.

Scaling fast is great… until your profit margin tanks. This is what happened to me with @Greenbox_storag. Revenue grew fast but profit actually decreased. So we’re back to focusing on profit margins. At FounderBrands, we’re reducing complexity and maintaining profit margins
When I joined an education technology startup, it was doing around $8M a year. 3 years later we hit $100M. But our burn rate was climbing. We were overextended. Our profitability discipline started slipping. That type of growth really exposed bottlenecks we didn't realize
