If you curate your feed correctly Twitter has 100x the insights per hour of any other platform (books included).

The best way to make this happen is to follow people who are A) experienced and B) post very disciplined and direct content on Twitter.

How to figure out if your business idea is any good in 5 minutes or less:
My friend in Athens told me recently that he wanted to start a house painting business.

We were sitting on my back deck drinking a Keystone light on Saturday at about 4pm.

He asked me what I thought.

I went to work.
I typed "House Painting" into Google Maps on my phone.

10 results popped up nearby.

I hit "call" on the first one.

A guy answered on the second ring. He was nice.

He told me he could come to my house anytime on Sunday or Monday to give me a quote.

10 important things I've learned about hiring:
#1: A unicorn isn't just going to walk in the door.

If you're looking for someone who cares about your business as much as you do, you'll never find them because they don't exist.

To succeed you have to build a business with systems where normal folks can thrive.
#2: If you're the bottleneck, you'll never grow (and you'll be miserable)

Most business owners deal with every problem. If there is a decision to be made, it always starts and stops with them.

But the most successful owners have taught their employees how to make better decisions and they empower them to do it on their own.

How to get rich without getting lucky:
Find a way to make $100/hour doing something simple IN YOUR TOWN.

Do it until you have $10K+ in the bank & you’re too busy to sell new customers.

Hire employees for $20/hr to do what you do so you can sell new customers.
Look at the market unemotionally.

It’s not about you and what you love doing.

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel.

Look at competition as a sign that there is money to be made here.

A funny thing:

Small businesses will spend $75k on a truck or $500k on a building or $10,000 a month in rent…

But they’ll run their multi-million dollar business with a $500 website that isn’t optimized.
Hire a good web development agency and invest in a simple website that converts visitors into customers.

It is the way over half your customers will find you - get it right!
Here’s a good practice:

Put somebody who knows nothing about your business in front of a computer and tell them to sign up for your services.

Don’t help them. Don’t answer questions.

Watch them fumble around.

And then FIX IT.

What successful people understood before they were successful:
Mentorship isn’t about finding a great mentor.

It’s about becoming a person great mentors WANT to help.
Hiring isn’t about finding good people.

It’s about becoming a person good people want to work for.

How to grow a business the old fashioned way, a thread:
Don't be afraid to do things that don't scale.

A friend of mine runs a landscaping company.

He gets most of his customers with yard signs and gets most of his employees with flyers taped up at gas pumps.

Doesn't have a website and he clears $250k + per year.
Hunt employees in your town and keep business cards in your back pocket.

I once saw a clean cut 28 year old running through the Walmart parking lot collecting carts. He picked up trash on his way into the store.

I ended up hiring him. Was one of my best employees ever.
