Apple doesn't sell iPhones, it sells status.

Adidas doesn't sell shoes, it sells performance.

PlayStation doesn't sell consoles, it sells entertainment.

The biggest brands out there don't sell products.

They sell outcomes.

Cold emails are the gateway drug to any opportunity.

The easiest way to write a great cold email:
• be clever & funny
• add social proof
• be quick with your ask (no fluff)
• negate potential roadblocks by over-communicating

I attribute 99% of my "luck" to good cold emails.

The #1 advantage you have as a startup is speed. If you can’t move fast enough, you’ll inevitably die trying. The speed you execute at is relative to the product and market you are in, but there isn’t a particular speed limit. Only a lack of creativity when things slow down.

Super smart people hate it but…

The most successful people aren’t always the ones with the highest IQ

They’re often the ones with the highest EQ (emotional intelligence)

Why?

Because people do business with people they like and trust

You can write a great blog post in 3 days. You can write a great ebook in 10 weeks. You can write a great Twitter thread in 40 minutes. You can create a clever meme in less than 10 minutes.

Time isn’t really an excuse for not creating content.

Just admit it’s not a priority.
