Last week, I asked for your favorite small productivity hacks

Today, I picked out 11 of my favorites to share🧵
1/ At 15sec, definitely the smallest hack to use
4/ It's amazing what a walk (and talk) can do
5/ The Pomodoro Technique
1) Get a to-do list and a timer, set it for 25 minutes
2) Focus on a single task until the timer rings
3) Take a 5-minute break
4) After 4 cycles, take a 15-30 minute break
8/ I've been working to block off Wednesdays for this exact reason
9/ You can lose a lot of time by not having it scheduled
10/ Perhaps the most popular productivity advice of all time
11/ Takes <10min, and making an impact since 1954
Do you use any of these yourself? Like/RT the ones you do and let me know your favorite!

Looks like a lot of you enjoyed the most recent Bootstrapped Giants thread!

"Common knowledge" says it takes money to make money.

So do most VCs.

But I LOVE the entrepreneurs who make $ from Day 1...

So here's 4 more Bootstrapped Giants, +1 of mine
1/ The thread that started it all.

It took 40 years to build, but she's continuing to dominate the market she made possible...
2/ Everyone knows this brand, but nobody remembers how quickly it spread.

A great case in building a high profit partnerships...

Two mediocre students did everything wrong while taking $10,000 in credit card debt and turning it into a $67 BILLION company.

The crazy part?

They were profitable from day 1.

This is the wild story 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1/ Mike Cannon-Brookes met Scott Farquhar on their first day at the University of New South Wales in Sydney

Neither was a great student.

Farquhar averaged a 65%, while Cannon-Brooks barely graduated with a 53%

Mike sent a fateful email in 2001…
2/ in 2001, he emailed a few classmates that had been handling outsourced IT work with an idea: let’s start a company instead of a getting a “real job.”

Farquar was the only one to respond. They became co-CEOs.

… Atlassian was born.

But timing wasn’t great…

I discovered one of the most interesting markets in the US.

Here are 3 facts about it + my most recent podcast which dives DEEP.

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
1) Pet ownership has more than TRIPLED since the 1970s!

Beyond that, covid saw another increase of 20-30% in pet ownership.

Today, over half of Americans own pets.
2) Annual spend per pet averages $1500… it was barely a few hundred dollars in the 1970s.

Some people admit to spending over $10k per year on their pet.

In less than 6 years, this Nigerian Immigrant bootstrapped a software biz from 0 to $3 BILLION

The crazy part?

He has no idea how to code. He was a sales guy.

Time for another Bootstrapped Giant 🧵🧵

This one is a gem 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
@topeawotona was born in lagos to a biz family

His grandma built a very successful textile import/export business

His mom co-owned a pharmacy with his Aunt

His dad was a microbiologist turned chemical distributor

Their life was good, then tragedy struck...
At the age of 12, Tope was relaxing in his house when he saw his dad pull onto the driveway.

Out of nowhere, several men rushed the car, forced him out and despite no resistance, they murdered him.

Tope watched the whole thing and still has insomnia to this day bc of it.

In the last 100 days, I've gone from 2k to ~22k twitter followers.

Fast right?

Not really if you account for the year prior where all I did was debate the best way to share my entrepreneurial learnings.

Here is:
- What I did
- WHY I did it
- What I learned

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
First, my personal WHY: I want to help others learn/grow to be the best versions of themselves through the power of entrepreneurship.

It took me many years of coaching and reflection to realize this is what "I can't not do."

I love entrepreneurship. I love learning/growth.
Earlier this year, I started @GatewayX to live this personal Why.

It's early but the gameplan for now is:

A venture studio/holdco where 1) all the companies are bootstrapped (i.e. get profitable fast) and 2) its a single culture/org. We invest/buy/build. Mostly build.

Facebook advertising is undergoing the largest change in its history: iOS14.5+.

Adopted users are now 70% of its spend.

Everything. Is. Different.

Here are my 4 recommendations to keep winning in this new world:

(source @ampush’s 8 figs in MONTHLY $ with top DTC brands)
Recc #1 - Test consolidated account structures and narrowed targeting strategies RIGOROUSLY.

The change in privacy means less data for FB. So, 14+ years of an algorithm built on user data has to change and so does your strategy…
Let’s start with an example: before iOS14.5+, Facebook could track “Sara” from her clicks on an ad to her specific activity on a brand’s site, store this data and continue to collect, building up a database on Sara’s patterns.

Now what happens when Sara opts out of tracking?
