In this issue, you’ll find:

This shouldn’t stop you

I’ll start by stating the obvious. Your mind is great at making stuff up.

Limiting beliefs are magically created day in and day out.

All on autopilot.

95%, maybe even 99% of that is total BS.

It’s your little lizard brain protecting you from “harm.” And 10,000 years ago, that would’ve been a good thing.

These days, literally nothing can stop you anymore.

People who think they need funding before they can start their startup are living in 2022.

Marketers who think they need a developer to get somewhere also live in 2022.

And developers who think they need marketers are also living in the past.

Lovable, ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor.

All the tools you need to get ahead in life. To start and scale your online business, are at your fingertips.

So tell your little lizard brain to shut up with all the limiting beliefs and anxiety creation.

This is your moment. You can do it.

Why Meta didn’t launch its in-app payments

In 2019, Meta launched the Libra project to enable in-app transactions, similar to Musk’s vision for X.

According to former project chief David Marcus, it failed due to US political pushback over Meta’s growing influence in payments.
