I distilled my 4 years of marketing lessons into minimalistic visuals.

1. Sell Benefits. Not features. Image
2. Scarcity drives demand. Image
3. People don't care about your product. They care about what your product can do for them. Image
4. Marketing is not about which product you sell.
Marketing is about which story you tell. Image
5. What do you think you need to create content
V/S
What do you actually need to create content Image
6. Attract the audience with short-form content.
Keep the audience with long-form content. Image
7. Selling prevention is hard. Selling a cure is easy. Image
8. Do not order them to buy your stuff. Show them a dream. Image
9. Don’t confuse your customers with too many options. Image
10. Your product should complete your customer’s life. Image
11. Good hook with average content goes viral.
Average hook with good content flops. Image
12. Big money is made by selling status. Image

Nassim Taleb doesn't predict the future

He builds a life where the future can't hurt him.

How? By setting up asymmetric bets where he can’t lose.

Here’s how he uses optionality to win in business, life & investing: Image
1. What is Optionality?

Optionality means having choices that allow you to benefit from upside while limiting your downside.

Taleb defines it simply:

“If you have options, you don’t need to predict.”

It’s not about being right—
It’s about having the right to act when opportunity strikes.Image
2. Optionality is asymmetric by design

The idea:
Make small, low-risk bets that have massive upside and limited loss.

Examples:

An angel investment in a startup
A free newsletter that attracts business
Building skills that open future doors

You pay little. The reward can be life-changing.Image

David Axelrod isn’t a politician, but he made Obama president.

His playbook blends psychology, media control, and grassroots movements.

Once you understand Axelrod’s system, you’ll know how to shape public opinion and influence people🧵 Image
1. In 2004, Barack Obama was just a junior senator from Illinois.

No political dynasty.
No massive war chest.
No national fame.

But David Axelrod saw something others didn’t—a story that could win America’s heart.

And he knew exactly how to tell it. Image
2. Axelrod wasn’t a politician.

He was a storyteller.

A former journalist turned political consultant, he understood one thing better than anyone else:

People don’t vote for policies—they vote for stories that make them feel something.

Here’s the 3-part system he used to make Obama president:

I've been selling products & services for over 8 years & trust me

No skill comes close to selling when it comes to making tons of money

Here are 7 psychological biases that make people buy without even realizing it: Image
1. Effort Justification Bias

The more effort someone invests, the more they value the outcome.

Example: IKEA

Customers assemble the furniture themselves—and that effort increases perceived value.

This bias is so strong it’s known as the “IKEA Effect.”

Marketers use this in onboarding flows, quizzes & customizations—the more work you put in, the more you’ll want to complete the purchase.
2. The Pratfall Effect

A brand becomes more appealing when it shows a small flaw—because it feels more human and trustworthy.

Example: Domino’s Pizza

When Domino’s admitted their pizza sucked and publicly showed how they improved it, sales went up dramatically.

Flaws can increase likeability—as long as they’re paired with growth or transparency.

I’m convinced Ross Edgley isn’t human

• Swam 157 days without setting foot on land
• Ran a marathon dragging a 1,400 kg car for 19 hours
• Climbed a rope equal to Everest’s height in 20 hours

How he did that will rip off your mental limitations forever: Image
1. The Great British Swim: 157 days at sea

In 2018, Ross Edgley became the first person to swim around mainland Great Britain.

He swam 12 hours a day for 157 consecutive days.
Never set foot on land once.

He faced:
– 5,000+ jellyfish
– 7ft swells
– Salt tongue (his tongue literally began to fall apart)

This wasn’t just physical—it was psychological warfare.
2. World's Strongest Marathon

Running a marathon is tough.
Running it while pulling a 1.4-ton Mini Countryman?

That’s what Edgley did in 2016—26.2 miles in 19 hours and 36 minutes.

Every step was a grind.
Every tendon was screaming.
He redefined what a “marathon” could even mean.

I run a $30k/month marketing agency & trust me on this one.

You don’t need an MBA to build a successful business.

Here are 13 lessons that will teach you more than any $100,000 degree: Image
1. Your offer isn’t good enough if people need convincing. A strong offer makes prospects feel like they’re missing out if they don’t buy—fix your positioning before you fix your marketing.
2. The easiest way to increase revenue isn’t more leads—it’s better retention. Most businesses chase new customers when keeping existing ones happy would be 10x more profitable.
