Frameworks are useless...

Unless you use them to solve specific problems.

Here are 10 frameworks that'll solve problems for you:
How to choose your next project:

If a project is successful, it should make the rest of your career look like a footnote.

@sama
How to write:

Your creativity is a backed-up pipe of waste water.

And the waste water must be emptied before you get to clear water.

The path to clear water (or great writing) is through bad first drafts.

@julian
How to build a network:

• ATTRACT interesting people to you with your content

• SEARCH for interesting people with your DMs

• STRENGTHEN relationships with Zoom

@chrishlad
How to send the perfect cold email:

• SHORT = keep it under 5 lines

• SPECIFIC to the person + their work

• SPACING = no one reads big blocks of text

@chrishlad
How to learn anything:

1) Pretend to teach it to a 6th grader

2) Identify gaps in your teaching then revisit the source

3) Organize and simplify

The better you understand, the simpler the explanation.

@ProfFeynman
How to build an audience:

1) Create great content

2) Hustle for distribution

If you aren't willing to promote yourself, why would anyone else?

@SahilBloom
How to market anything:

Don't list the features.

Show how the customer will level up with your product.

@heyblake
How to persuade:

AIDA

• Attention - What is it?
• Interest - I like it
• Desire - I want it
• Action - I'm getting it
How to get stuff done:

To-do lists don't work.

Instead, focus on the One Big Thing (OBT)

What is the OBT you can do today that would make it a success?

Do that and you win.

@shaanVP
How to build a habit:

1) Make it easy

2) Keep a streak

3) Simpler is better

4) Make boredom Impossible

5) Make friction your best friend or greatest enemy

I just graduated from Yale and realized how much more there is to learn.

But I did uncover 7 lies you've been told about the world.

Here's the truth🧵
Lie:

The information you learn in school matters.

Truth:

Learning to learn is more important than any subject you study.
Lie:

Networking is about collecting as many business cards as possible.

Truth:

You can attract interesting people to you by sharing here on Twitter.

Once you do, developing these relationships is the most important thing you can do.

I interviewed someone who told Steve Jobs he was wrong and got promoted.

She then built early smartphone companies worth billions.

Here's what I learned from Donna Dubinsky:
Be 100% focused on the person you're with.

• Don't think about what is next
• Don't think about what you just did

Just listen intently and magic happens.
Make a personal balance sheet of strengths and weaknesses

• What am I good at?
• What do I enjoy doing?
• What are my weaknesses?

Those are the answers for what to do in your career.

Buying these 10 companies would've lost you $180 billion.

Wait never mind, you woulda been fired after a few.

Here are the 10 worst acquisitions of all time👇
Time Warner

2 years later, AOL took a $99 billion loss.

Ouch.
GeoCities

• When: 1999
• Who bought: Yahoo
• How much: $4 billion

GeoCities let you build your own website in the 90s.

The founder of Hyundai stole a cow and ended up with a $13 billion empire.

Here's an epic story👇
Chung ju-yung was born in a small North Korean village in 1915.

His parents were poor farmers.

His dad grew rice while his mom ran the household and raised silkworms for extra money.

(the original side hustler!)
So Chung grows up poor but manages to graduate from 5th grade.

You may be thinking... yea man that isn't hard.

But this was an impressive accomplishment for his town!

I just interviewed the man who invented Amazon Prime.

He started a business worth $40 billion today and served on Amazon's board for 15 yrs.

Here are lessons from Bing Gordon that'll save you years of mistakes:
When you have a business idea, take action now before it dies.

• Write 1 paragraph about the idea

• Write a 4 slide business plan

• Write your 1st line of code
When you start a job, ask your boss 2 questions:

1) Who is the best boss you've ever had and what does that mean for me?

2) What does top 10% performance look like?
