If you cut social media out of your life (including Twitter) you might actually have time to work on your side project and start being successful 👀

Brilliant idea: instead of adding dark mode to your SaaS before launching, why don't you put "didn't have dark mode" in the list of cancellation reasons and see that 0 people care.

When you have a kid that's been throwing up since 1am but it's OK because you manage your own schedule so can spend the whole day snuggling with them, changing their sheets constantly, rubbing their back as they vomit, giving them their sippy cup, watching movies with them, etc.

After building for enough time I've come across probably 100 people who are either working on an idea that I have previously had OR they tell me about an idea they have that I've previously had. After a while you realize the world of startups is really only about execution.

Fun fact... after you sell a SaaS company people instantly think you know anything and everything about building and growing eCommerce and service businesses, design agencies, etc. It's like when I graduated with a CS degree and every family member came to me with their computer…

Entrepreneurship is less about "not failing" and more about responding well when you do.

Twitter influencers these days: 50k followers... 2-4 likes per post... advertising a service for guaranteed "organic" growth! Riiiiiiight.

Starting something new? Unpopular opinion: Never jump to writing a business plan or registering an LLC first.

I'm excited that I can finally share that my last startup, Removaly, was acquired by @DuckDuckGo! 🎉 -- it was also their first ever acquisition 🙌 What a whirlwind of emotions. It’s been wild having something acquired that started out as a small bootstrapped side project,…

I thought of the best name for some type of privacy product, but I can't quite put my finger on what it should do yet. What did I do next? I got the domain name of course. #winning

You're not going to be able to interact with 100 people a day (sustainably)... You can however interact with a few people a day and make it to 100 over the course of a month. Remember, the little things add up over time. Keep taking steps in the right direction.

Don't forget, with each of those "success stories" of people making 50k on an AppSumo launch in week... there's 70% taken out of their cut, then taxes... 50k soon becomes 15k becomes 11.25k... It's still great for a side project, but then you have to manage all of those users…

"Thousandaire" is the most hilarious term. Definitely should be used more. Use it in a sentence you say? "My side project just started taking off and I'm now a thousandaire."
