If you are struggling with being transparent on the Internet, use this 5-step framework that will help you form a habit of building in public and make it a second nature:

🌟 Promise
🌟Build
🌟 Tease
🌟 Deliver
🌟 Share

Let's get into it 🧵
🌟 Promise

Many founders skip this step and start right with building. It makes a hell lot of difference when you promise and deliver - you build trust and confidence with your audience.

It is scary but keeps you accountable and makes you legit in front of the world.
🌟 Build

Fundamentally a step where you need to be as transparent as possible - share prototypes, WIP screens, your ideas, brainstorm in public, and such.

Do it to establish a tight feedback loop, show you listen and involve the community directly.

10 aphorisms from @naval that will question your thinking and change your life for the better!

They worked for me and I hope it will for you too! if you digest, realize, and implement them, they will change yours too!

Take your time to understand each of them 🧵
1/ If you want to be part of a great tech company, then you need to be able to SELL or BUILD. If you don’t do either, learn.
2/ If you can't see yourself working with someone for life, don't work with them for a day.

Some news:

After 2.2yrs of hustling, building in public, and putting in a lot of hrs, I'm delighted to announce that

@shoutoutso_ has been acquired by Rocket Gems, a UK-based product studio founded by @ramykhuffash 🍾

Let me take you to where it all started 🧵 Image
It was this tweet from @thisiskp_ that sparked the idea of building a simple platform to gather shoutouts 💡

I spoke to him and told the idea. He gave me the nudge to make it a product! Grateful to him and that convo that made me a founder 🙏🏼

PS: He then leaked it to Twitter :) Image
I then shipped and launched a simple landing page in less than 24hrs using @carrd

Shoutout got a massive response on day 1 with over 200+ signups on the waitlist!

This gave me so much confidence to build a scrappy MVP Image

Systems fuel Goals.

I’m a big believer when it comes to building systems, and I still follow the same routines that I established after reading
@JamesClear's Atomic Habits.

A thread on the routines I follow 🧵
1/ Do micro-actions with no expectations

Never underestimate the power of micro-actions. They may be small, easy to do but will have a lot of impact on your confidence. They fuel micro wins which fuel the doer mindset inside you. One condition: do them with no expectations.
2/ Show up and be consistent

You get what you want when you show up. Compound interest works like magic when you implement it. Be consistent no matter what, the results will knock your door.

In order to break into tech, you don’t need a college degree or prev experience.

Most startups look for proof of work, skin in the game, and the leverage (community, credential, and network) you have built!

Let's dive into each of them here 🧵
Proof of work

World rewards doers and not thinkers. You may have awesome ideas but you need to turn them into something actionable.

Launch side projects, open a YT channel, write a NL - have something that shows your potential and expertise.

Your proof of work is your resume!
Skin in the game

In order to be an expert in something or be an insider, you need to own a piece of it.

The best way to build skin in the game is to take ownership and dominate it publicly.

Your skin in the game is your experience!
