Being active on twitter over the past 12 months has easily been the highest value work (in real dollars) of any single period of my entire career (next 30 yrs included).
2 hours per day. 14 hours per week.
The highest ROI of any work I’ve ever done or ever will do.
I went from no LPs and no LPs in site to raising $7MM in a 5 month period from folks I met right here.
Will probably be hundreds of millions over next 30 years.
I’ve already sold $350k in online courses and have done $150k in consulting.
Planning to grow significantly over next few years.
I’ve met mentors and friends and gotten direct access to entrepreneurs and investors whom I’d previously only been able to read their books and listen to their podcasts this time last year.
And most importantly of all:
I’ve learned a shit load about myself and my thinking has been honed.
My communication skills are better.
My leadership is better.
Through teaching and challenging myself right here Ive become a better entrepreneur.
Yes, there are haters.
Yes, you’ll look like a fool from time to time.
Yes, you’ll change your mind and swallow your pride.
But I’m telling you, it’s worth it.
Huge shoutout to @moseskagan for convincing some stranger he didn’t even know to get on here and do the work.
Changed the trajectory of my life, the folks in my company, and the life of my kids and grandkids!
Crazy.

If your kid isn’t in the top 1% of sports by 3rd grade stop devoting your life to living vicariously through them.
Ok guys shit on me and nitpick the details if you want.
The point:
Too many parents are WAY to serious about sports and athletic success for their kids because of their own ego.
Stop being selfish. It’s not about you.
It’s obvious I hit a nerve.
Parents who devote thousands of hours and every weekend (and every last dollar in many cases) to sports for their kids are largely chasing an emotional desire.
