"What do I want to do for a living?"

is the WORST question you can ask yourself in your career...

Here's why..
You are not going to DO anything for the rest of your life.

Average length of a gig is 3-4 years.

Think about what you are interested in NEXT, not forever.
Does anyone really know the answer to that question?

I hardly know what I want for dinner. (Sorry hubs)

Don't trap yourself.

When you ask a singular question with only one answer, you immediately limit your options.
Don't stack jobs, stack skills.

@ScottAdamsSays there are 2 paths to extraordinary:

- Become the best at 1 s thing.
- Become very good (top 25%) at 2+.

Everyone has a few areas they could be top 25% w/ some effort.
Your title is rarely what you DO.

It looks rad to run a media company @businessbarista for instance

But I bet what Alex really did day was find hype men (ambassadors) & obsess over open rates.
The best question to ask yourself?

"What do I want to learn next?"

Then go find the where.

Don't stack jobs, stack skills.

I was horrified to get on twitter & be public; scared to get trolled, mess up.

In finance, we get rich quietly & quietly judge "internet gurus."

But, I did it anyway, & let me tell you a secret.

I do more deals, make $$$, & have more fun than ever...
Trolls Don't Matter:
#1 If you have no prof pic, 20 or less buds & you spitting nonsense at people online. I couldn't care less about you.

I get told daily I'm a liar, or wrong, or am I really worth x, or did y.

It's part of the game if you want to be in the arena.
#2 I've never met a troll in real life.

Maybe they only hang under bridges?

Instead, twitter has 100x'd my network of people I would have never met if I just played in private equity.

Magic happens when people meet from different walks.

Instagrams days are numbered.

Tiktok may win.

The virality of tik tok is 100x.

The catchiness is 200x.

The UI is so clean.

If you’re not on there you probably should be…

We grew to 6k+ w/ 49 posts in 90 days…
It’s our fastest growth channel by far.

The algorithm literally feeds you eyeballs.
Not to mention it’s 1/10 the work of YouTube.

No 20 minute over edited videos.

No crazy graphics needed.

Emphasis on consistent quantity.

1st ever carwash company to go public... and it's worth $7 BILLION!

MCW IPO'd this past week
Then went up 46%+ (biggest IPO of the day)

A thread on buying & building for cashflow:
What happened?
- Mister Car Wash started in 1996
- It has 344 locations
- That's 345 million cars cleaned
- Now the largest carwash company in the US

BUT get this....
They only own 5% of the market share

That's why PE loves boring businesses...

I am lazy BUT I like money.

I like it to come relatively passively.

I also like cool things that make $.

Aka tiny home rentals.

Everything you need to know about how to clear $5-15k+/ month with a teeny casa...
Reminder:
@RobuiltChannel built his first casa for $72k, cleared lots of $$

Then he built an entire biz around it
*Youtube
*Consulting
*tiny home villages
*Glamping

He gave us his secrets (I interrogated him)

KEYS -->
#1: Starting off
Key consideration? Location!

Search Airbnb listings for undeveloped land
Find popular areas for camping, etc (
Know the zoning of the land (use @zillow)

*Pro tip: Stick a pair of wheels on the tiny houses and they can (often) be considered like an RV*

9 out of 10 $ earned by Airbnb hosts -> from outside top 10 US cities

Our bud made $270k w/ a home that cost $70k 🙃

Recipe = INSANE urban prices + remote work + need to “bEcOmE oNE w/ nAtUrE”?

A Tiny house rural boom & how to profit on 'em...
Quick hit: WTF are tiny homes?

Exactly what they sound like:
- Tiny home to meet basic needs 300-800 sq ft
- Ultra low utility consumption

Cost $10k => $150k (for luxury models)

Take about 6 months to build and can be moveable!
Why?

It's not just affordable RE, it's a lifestyle movement.

Pandemic revelations have given major boost.

86% of ppl would buy, more than 1/2 would live in one

You personally couldn’t pay me enough to live that close to anyone 😂, but I’d rent em.

NEVER EVER EVER build YOUR business on another’s platform.

Our front page of Contrarian Thinking on @SubstackInc

Guess they LOVED what we had to say... 🤷‍♀️

My prediction: more creators will leave & their biz model won't last.

What went down...
#1 I Messed Up

I never invest in biz's w/ a middle man (FBA, IG biz)
Platforms all eventually move to control.
Never let anyone get between you and your users.

But I did it in this business. #fail
#2 No NOTICE

They turned us off WITH NO WARNING
- thx for the customer service guys...

ALMOST as good as I get at the DMV
