We are in the early stages of a tectonic shift in work, enabled by software

Software is about to eat the physical office

Remote work will simply become “work”

Let’s compile a list of the best modern tools

Anything is game — startups, big companies, hardware, software... Go!
What’s that great new tool that turns this thread into a link?

Can we do that friends?
How many of you use Slack and Zoom in concert?

That seems like the peanut butter and jelly use case

#TURN - Washington's Spies. If you haven't seen the series, you can't appreciate the Culper Ring and how much #QAnon parallels it. Season 2, episode 10, 40:00 mark; nearly exact language used in early Q drops. Washington speaks of General Lee's treason and how he'll be shamed.
Message from "355", no security without secrecy.
Benjamin Tallmadge says there's a cabal forming against the freedom movement in the United States while pointing out a traitor in the colonial army to General George Washington.

Twitter for Business Rule:
Develop a consistent online presence on 1 additional social media channel.
Invite your Twitter followers to connect with you on that platform.

Connecting on multiple platforms creates a deeper synergy between your ideas & audience

#onlinebusiness
Why is connecting on multiple platforms such a powerful strategy, Shadeed?

Great question :-)

Each platform has it's own "voice" due to the "culture" of that platform. On Twitter you deliver short, value driven messages that you can expand on other social channels.
#business
The greatest business book ever written on the developing a unique voice for each social channel is Jab, Jab, Jab Right Hook.

Let's start our #GEMChats this week. The topic of this week is #student #entrepreneurship!

We'll discuss these three factors in the poll options below as well as replies to the poll 🧐🧐🧐 Let's take this forward!
#Students? And #entrepreneurship? Is that even a good combination?

Especially when you read that the famous student entrepreneurs like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg are all dropouts!!!

Can students not only run a #business while studying but also be #successful at it?
Taking a different perspective at this is that while these billionaires are college dropouts, the #idea for the #business all came about when they were in #college! As a young #student, your ideas have a chance at being fresh and can be developed through stringent planning!

Business Talk Tuesday!!

-Two topics to cover this thread

1. Determining your ideal client/customer/fan

2. How to grow an audience around number one
I was answering some interview questions today, and one of the questions was

“how would I suggest people grow an audience?”

I suggested that they don’t.

What is the WHY behind the audience in the first place?
We live in an age where people want to be Insta famous for no real reason other than the social validation

let’s grow up and be more mature

An audience is a fandom of potential customers
