Sleep for 8 hours. Work for 8 hours. That’s only 12 hours out of 24. You still have another 16 hours to execute more on your startup's marketing, product, distribution, and sales strategy. Time is not the issue.

People pay $6,500/m for a studio apartment in NYC. Meanwhile, I pay $2,198/m for this in Charleston, SC. Remote work has completely changed what's possible.

@ChrisJBakke Exactly the opposite in Charleston. Exactly two total exchanges every year. One to confirm renewal and the other to confirm last cut of the year.

My mortgage payment is $2,230.86 per month. I went to apply for a home equity loan to get a new roof ($15,000). The refinance rate was 2x my current mortgage rate, which made my proposed new mortgage $3,178 per month. No one under 20 is going to be able to buy a house.

@todayyearsoldig This is objectively wrong. If you’re not whipping the bag into the air at least 3-4 times to get that clean *slap* sound you’re not doing it right.

I have decided that I will become a runner. To all the runners out there:. 1. Is runner’s high real or have I been lied to?. 2. How long will it take for me to look cool and not like a beached whale gasping for air?.

Twitter Blue will succeed if they add the following features:. 1. DM anyone you want (can be called “InMail”). 2. See the top companies those who searched for you work for. 3. Ability to give and receive recommendations . 4. An easy way to apply to jobs (call it “Easy Apply”).

@ChrisJBakke I’m the former head of Google Meet ($11.8M TC). In 2009 we first started developing the feature you now see in Google Meets where if you “thumbs up” at the camera, a fun little “thumbs up” will appear, animated and cute, on your screen. It went into QA in 2017 and finally.

I’m bullish on @LinksDAO for a few reasons. 1. I love golf. ⛳️ •🏌️♂️. 2. I love NFTs, DAOs, and community governance. But those reasons pale in comparison to . 3. The LinksDAO team is unbelievable. 20 years from now history books will be discussing LinksDAO’s success.

I was waiting for this to be tweeted. We’re all just trying to do our jobs. If it makes you feel better, I also subscribed to your newsletter too, Nathan. Twitter and the internet would be a better place if we all stopped acting like there is a moral superior high ground. You.
@tibo_maker So far today they are signing up for Kit newsletters en masse and then replying to the welcome email with a pitch to switch. 50+ newsletters so far today.

I did it— my first half marathon. If you’ve been following my journey, you know how big of a deal this was for me. Crossing the finish line was extremely emotional. 2024 will be a year I remember for the rest of my life.

I'm going to launch a local newsletter. My goal is to generate $100k in side income within 12 months. Here's how I'm gonna do it:. 1. Weekly, high level bullet points for events, what’s happening, what you missed, etc. 2. Three main sections, each town adjacent to the other.

In May 2024, I came across two posts online that were catalysts to what I can only describe as a midlife crisis. The first was a video of a dad racing his teenage son. The caption read: “Every year he races his son on his birthday. His son still can’t beat him.”. The dad,

Now is a really good time for someone hungry and technical to launch a 6-7 figure agency for building both @beehiiv newsletters + beehiiv websites. If you are an expert in both you'll be able to go full time on your agency by end of year.

This is going to get me canceled but I feel like it’s long overdue. I lost 50 lbs because I was fat. I went cold turkey on everything unhealthy for months and did rigorous exercise to transform my body and mental health. And now that I’m not fat, I’m realizing how many people.

I recently spoke to a newsletter with ~20,000 premium subscribers paying $9/month. Total annual revenue from their premium subscribers is around $2,160,000. On a platform that charges 10% of premium revenue, it's like lighting $216,000 on fire. Reminder: @beehiiv takes 0%.

@dhorsb @MorningBrew Fun fact: In behind the scenes of "The Office", they described that every single "Talking Head" scene was a foreshadow of that character's future. If there was a window behind them in the Talking Head, they had a future outside of The Office. If there was a blank wall, no future.
