In the most humble way…I need to remember who tf I am sometimes 😂
Best read lol
If you launch and no one notices, launch again. We launched 3 times.
The rush to publicly borderline celebrate or even just pontificate over the demise of startups or the failure of specific efforts by others we do not know is perhaps the most unproductive use of human capacity. Please stop it. You’re better off drinking tea, minding your…
Growing up when I used to hear adults say I’m praying for peace in the world- I don’t think I fully grasped the depth of that simple statement as a child. I do now. Praying for peace and humanity.
People underestimate how much water or nature can really heal you, especially when you’re in a depressive state of mind. It’s why so many people take hot showers or baths to relax, why people take walks or sunbathe, and why so many people’s nervous systems are better when they’re…

Brilliant thread.
In June, @KathrynFinney will break the mould of traditional business books with publication of her trailblazing start-up guide, Build The Damn Thing. Join Kathryn and @ElizabethOgabi_ as they discuss all things start-up for diverse entrepreneurs👇 allbrightcollective.com/events/bd8b39d…
Self-soothing is a really important part of emotional regulation that I don’t think is talked about enough. It’s natural to get angry/upset/hurt but when we don’t regulate these feelings, they can inform our decisions, which isn’t healthy and can lead to a lot of regret.
The backwards thing about “networking” in your early years is that it feels like you should connect w/ high profile, successful people. In reality, those people are so checked out & won’t be able to do anything for you. Instead, spend your time talking to new, undiscovered folks.
Thread: There are over 400 startups trying to be the next Warby Parker, but history shows that 90%+ of e-commerce companies will fail. What separates the successes from the failures? Here are 5 things I look for to figure out if an e-commerce startup is a good opportunity -->
Brilliant write up by @dsabar in today's @IndieHackers newsletter about 'Building for enterprise customers. Confirmed all my thoughts and assumptions on this topic.
ladies, it's so important to regularly update our list of work achievements it gives us the confidence - and evidence - to ask for more 🤑 you can listen back to our chat on @askDiem
Can confirm today was better than yesterday. Give it about 7/10 for today.
Can confirm today was better than yesterday. Give it about 7/10 for today.

This year is about phenomenal experiences
Still can’t believe this pandemic sometimes. So much has changed because of it. Every so often, thinking about life before it brings sharp feelings of shock & dismay.
Congrats, Dayo!! We need to catch up!

@AmandaMGoetz Will be weird at first for the child but by the end they will go home raving about their time. Nothing on the screen can compare with the joy of being around other souls.
@tomharari I agree. This is going to be the rule going forward.
@AmandaMGoetz Your house your rules. You can simply tell the other children's parents you are a no phone household and if that's an issue for them best to keep their child home. That might mean something as simple as collecting their phones when they arrive live they do in schools.
Seeing your friends living in their purpose, especially those that once expressed their desires with no real idea at that point of how to achieve it, feels oddly rewarding 💕✨Like, you’re my person and you did that. I love it, I love you.
I hate that the startup world puts investors on a pedestal. As a startup founder, it distracted me from serving my users. As an investor, it distracts my companies from serving their users. Investors aren’t the heroes of the startup world.

It's the same reason behind having girl-focused scholarships, programs, etc so there is a better distribution of resources and a leg up for those who aren't usually prioritized, but I didn't know there were expectations that the audience would only be women.
Women in the industry need funding, connections, investments, amplification, growth etc. Why should that only come from women because they are women? Especially when we all know mostly men control the money? The idea is to have platforms dedicated to shedding light on such women.
Please I know you lot love to tussle, but explain why you want only women to attend femme fest? If the idea is to amplify & spotlight only women owned businesses and female artists especially up and coming artists, what is the rationale in only growing their audience with women?
It's like Eisenhower said: "Plans are nothing; but planning is everything." Your pre-seed plan is worthless but the process ensures you think through the business model (and other mechanics).
Financial models are back! For years founders rolled their eyes when I asked them to take me thru the model…. ‘I mean we have one, but we are pre-seed so it doesn’t mean anything’ Yikes noooo.
We can disagree on the level of detail etc but the fact that you need to think through your levers should not be controversial lmao
