I’ve been tweeting a lot more. I’ve been transparent about what I do and how I do #buildinpublic but not necessarily emotionally vulnerable.

That’s the hardest part is being emotionally vulnerable about the entrepreneurial process

Some self-reflection a thread ⬇️
Throughout my athletic career and my academic career I have failed a lot. Losing scholarships, cutting cut from teams and more. It’s helped me develop a unique outlook on failure that in many cases it’s unavoidable and to be expected.
This can come across pessimistic and makes me numb to failure but also success. It’s why I don’t even think about what is means to be successful. I try to just enjoy my process and bounce back from whatever comes next.
I don’t think the world is a fair place. I don’t think it will be. Reality doesn’t discriminate on hardship.
I don’t think I necessarily get imposter syndrome but I do question whether my skills have real world value. Sometimes I’d rather not be an entrepreneur
I’ll try to do more of these. I love these you can do it posts on Twitter but that’s not my reality most days, I also think that’s ok. Most entrepreneurs are going through it and rarely talk about it.
Probably need to format my thoughts a little better so it’s easier to read.

Today I’ve been recording a lot of my content. I like to keep it short, to the point and practical.

I’ve been thinking about lead magnets.

I’m going to create a few for #productsixty

Here’s a thread on Lead Magnets for your side project ⬇️
#100daysofnocode #blacktechtwitter
There are many ways to build your community for your product or service. Marketers use lead magnets to get more information on their potential users to turn them into sales leads. There are many kinds of magnets. We’re going to go over a few:
Free trail

This is probably the most common with SAAS platforms. A 7 day or 14 day trial. Once a user signs up you can continue to market to them through email campaigns.

I think nocode isn’t about the tools. It’s about a philosophy of solving problems.

It’s a rapid and minimal approach. Focusing on the most necessary things.

@Sathyanand1985

Thinking out loud...
How do we get young kids building and deploying solutions to problems using WhatsApp. Using only their mobile phone for building and building for mobile.
How do we get young kids building chatbots for Facebook only using their mobile phone.

Whoever creates a profit-share model integrated into a course is winning the game.

Let me think out loud for a sec

#100DaysOfCode #100DaysOfNoCode #NoCode
Let take a No-Code/ Code junkie like myself.

I’ll teach everybody for free if you become contractors for me. If in six months you do not get any contracts you pay me the value of the course...
On your first contract I get X% which pays your course fees.

Storytime 📖

How I #buildinpublic with NON TECH products. A thread ⬇️
I recently started to become more interested in things away from the computer. Music, Art. It’s an old past time for me that I wanted to revisit.
So I started to put my old artwork on my Etsy Store
