I’m thinking of creating a course on Maven to teach the one skill that's helped me the most in my career...

...POWER WRITING

- Got me my dream job in tech back in 2012
- Grew my twitter by 100k followers in 4 months
- Drove over $5m in sales

What is power writing?
In school they want long essays & you study shakespeare.

I sucked at that. I get exhausted writing long essays & my grammar was horrible (still is).

Lucky for me - in the real world you want:
* less words
* simple language
* stories that get people hooked
Want a job? write a killer email to the ceo

Want to build a network? cold email & DM people you admire without looking like a cringey idiot

Want to sell more stuff? your words are your gunpowder.

writing is a master key, that opens many doors

GUEST THREAD about.... Buying Businesses.

*How to find a business to buy
*How to finance it so you only put down ~10% or less
*How to grow it
*How to sell it for a profit.

Handing the mic to my buddy @SievaKozinsky who does this for a living....
OK - let's say you wanted to buy a business and make $1M in the next 18 months.

Here's the playbook:
STEP 1 - Finding a Biz.

I recommend focusing on a space like "Home Services"
* landscaping
* HVAC
* Plumbing
* Electrical contractor

These businesses are profitable, you don't compete with FB/Amazon, and there are lots of bigger buyers when you want to sell.

So... everyone seems to think clubhouse is the "next big thing" - but I think it's going to fail.

Here's how I think it all goes down..
(disclaimer - I don't *want* clubhouse to fail. The world is more fun if it wins...

but wanting something doesn't mean it's going to happen. If it did, then guac would be default included inside every bag of chips)
OK let's pretend you are the CEO of Clubhouse.

First of all - f*ck yes. you f*cking did it!!!

People like your app. No, no - they LOVE your app.

This is the WILD story of a Instagram food accounts that are making 10M+ a year SELLING COOKIES

if you haven't heard about this... let's dive in.
last week - my buddy @benmlevy sent me a link to MyCookieDealer on instagram.

I checked them out - the cookies looked good... but - food pics on instagram? who cares?

Ben: dude these guys are insane. I'm pretty sure they do like $10M/year selling cookies on IG.

Me: 😳
So I started looking into it.

The short story -

The founders are a husband / wife duo.

The guy is an enormous body builder. His wife bakes him giant 1/2 LB cookies for his "cheat days".

He posted his wife's cookies on IG, and his fans wanted to buy some...
