Steve Jobs knew the smartphone already existed.

He built the iPhone anyway.

Look:

Hulu is Netflix. 📺
Uber is Lyft. 🚘
Airbnb is VRBO. 🏘️
DoorDash is Uber Eats. 🥘

Your big win probably isn't some new idea.

It's selling what people already buy + some sauce.

Go!

Cold-blooded but...

Money is in a committed relationship with action. 🚀
No Money sleeps on overthinking's couch!

The stuff on the right is how Overthinking gets to pretend to be Action.

It's a hypnotic trap! 💯

Came across this and couldn't agree more.

Folks treat entrepreneurship like school:
study → prepare → research → organize → THEN act.

But fastest path to a win is the opposite:
act → fail → adjust → learn → repeat.

Wish we had startup shot charts!

Here thinking...
Life is basically trying to solve for: How good can this get?

Being happy
Helping other people 🤝
Making l̶i̶f̶e̶ community-changing money
Nieces/nephews who turn out to be lovely people

Not sure what the real limits are, but we should test them! 👏Rhi

Money doesn't buy happiness. Agreed! 💯

But when I had to send my mom to Cuba for eye surgery that wasn't available in 🇧🇧, I learned two things:

1. They don't accept payment in good vibes.
2. My entire family was happy at the outcome.

So maybe Cuba brings happiness? 🤔

Imagine how colorful the world would be if I found one dope developer that wanted to work with me on some of my project ideas. 🏆

Building a home service business → automate it with Convertlabs

Fam, the excuses are INFINITE.

But so are the solutions if you stop bullshitting yourself.

We built the whole system. Bi-weekly calls. Community. Software.

What's your excuse today?

Since then I've
🔍 Figured out what works
🚀 Quit my job
💰 Did $24 million in revenue 💰
✨ Had a 7 figure exit 💰

Learning as I go.

🎯 $500k MRR

Just keep going! 💪

Product market fit. Validation. Research...Meh.

Here's what I do instead.

1. I sell what people already buy.
2. Sell it how they already buy it.
3. Make the thing look nice so they buy it.

That's about it.

Am I oversimplifying? Maybe. But this works.
