I wish I could put into words how bad it is... I schedule one call, and end up with three through word of mouth. Never thought I would manage to get an operational infrastructure service over-subscribed.
We launched a program for smaller companies ($18M and $150M in annual revenue) to a small circle of people at the beginning of the week. Focused on the non-traditional, so online business space. Demand through the fucking roof. My business partner is stuck in meetings all day

On average you lose: ~20–30% potential value because of messy books. Ambiguity is expensive. You likely run on cash basis, but the market values accrual. You must switch to GAAP standards immediately so the buyer can mathematically verify that the company works. ~15–25%
When you exit your company, please hire somebody beforehand to optimise it. So many unexperienced founders sell at a much lower multiple than they should be and leave millions on the table.

All in, all out. Most entrepreneurs operate under the illusion that hedging their bets reduces risk. They keep a failing product line alive "just in case". They maintain a mediocre marketing channel because it brings in a trickle of leads. They keep a B-player employee because

A friend's right hand guy has lost his parents when he was a teenager. Lost his fiancee to cancer. Got shot twice. Survived a helicopter crash. Has been kidnapped. And numerous other accidents, betrayals, and tragedies. There are people like this - people who keep and keep

The Beauty of Contradictions In the boardrooms of the F500 or the war rooms of Silicon Valley, consistency is often heralded as the ultimate virtue. We are taught that logic is linear. A leads to B, which inevitably leads to C. But reality - and certainly the market - is not

How Multi-Million Dollar Deals Are Done: On X & social in general, "high-ticket sales" has become quite popular lately due to the info/education industry (where low-ticket is the entry level offer used to get people in the door, and high-ticket is the upsell). Because of that

Hyperscaling a DTC brand using negative working capital: Hyperscaling a DTC brand is incomprehensibly difficult. Even once you have clear PMF, strong contribution margins, and a validated acquisition channel. Many in this space harbour beliefs that if the unit economics are
High margins are useless if you are cash poor. The only way to hyperscale without debt is through negative working capital. You essentially force the market to finance your expansion at 0% interest. Collect the revenue weeks before the cost of delivery hits your account, use

Most of business is just labor arbitrage. You are exploiting the pricing inefficiency between what talent costs and what the market pays for the outcome. If you view the service as "work" rather than a tradable asset, you have already lost. Identify demand -> acquire the supply

When I realised that you can simply do things. Everything becomes achievable when you just do things. Elon does it and started catching sky scraper sized rockets that move at 10x the speed of a bullet. You can really just do things.

Something I didn't know back when I posted this is how many non-profits are just a scam and have nothing to do with the cause they advocate for. I talked to someone who runs a government-funded non-profit today, and they have been involved in venture capital and have now
The best fundraisers in the world are the ones who did real fundraising for real non-profits. If they convinced people to give them money for literally nothing in return, they can definitely convince people to give them money to (maybe) get more money back.

Nobody really is in London anymore. Startup people have left long ago, fintech, PE, and some others stayed, but during the past year even they left. Everyone goes occasionally, but barely anyone is still based there. Not a good sign for the UK but also generally annoying bc

I wonder what's the % of long-form text that's still fully handwritten. Must be in the single digits or even below 1%. It makes no sense to write entirely by hand anymore when you can just tell an AI how you want it, feed it with information, edit the output, and save hours.

I'd argue that if you start with a budget of ~$20K, $750K annual income is easier to achieve. Without one (so fully from 0), it's the $13M NW for sure. But in both cases, achieving it within ~30 days is definitely doable.

This type of stuff isn't limited to Samsung, the more you learn about Israeli tech companies the more you realise that these guys are fucking legends. If something can be used as spyware, it will be. True masters of their craft.
‼️ Unremovable Israeli Spyware Found on Samsung Devices Samsung faces backlash over AppCloud, an Israeli-developed app pre-installed on budget Galaxy A and M series devices. Investigations reveal the app is embedded in the operating system, preventing full removal. Even when
