This one hack boosted my productivity 200% It’s better than any morning yoga sessions, Pomodoro techniques, or afternoon walks It’s 10mg of Ritalin 🤷🏼♂️
Starting out, make a piece of content a day so you know what works. Then double down on what you know works.
Create great products to genuinely help people. If you’ve done it right, the money will follow.
Working as a nurse, patients can be hateful. Their bad actions are quickly justified due to the situation. They’re probably sick or dying, so people aren’t their best selves. Do you allow that level of empathy in your every day life? And to what degree?
The secret to identifying more flavors in a wine: Say the very first thing that comes to mind. Banana Laffy Taffy? Toaster strudel? Hiking on a hot summer day? Allow yourself to be creative and personal!
I’ve spent my entire career breaking down complex topics into bite sized pieces. Asking “why” is the best tool you can use to gain understanding. Why does a wine taste a certain way? Why does the fermentation vessel matter? Etc. Stay curious, Slik Squad.
It took me way too long to learn this: Listen and receive feedback from your patients/clients/guests but don’t budge on your own personal values. Send this to a friend who suffers from “people pleasing”.
These are skills I learned as a nurse that helped me run a business. 1. Ability to have genuine and honest conversations. Especially when they’re not desired. 2. Building a reliable character. Admitting shortcomings. 3. Teaching complex topics to everyday Americans.
How to level up (in business & in life): 1. Do more of what you’re good at/what you love 2. Do less of what you find challenging/what you hate
100s of obscene comments have been removed from my videos. I didn’t even report them. Receiving hate is a natural side effect of success. Yet the Slik Squad comes thru and reports every horrible comment. Another reason why building community is a core personal value.
How I got better at selling: Understanding my own gripes and struggles with money.
Not sure what to do next in your business? I did this exercise with a CEO and it gave me the massive frame shift I needed. Think about what you love doing and do more of that. Think about what’s challenging to you and do less of that. It’s simple but effective.
TikTok is great for reach Instagram is great for sales YouTube is great for longevity What is Twitter great for?
3 tips to make a viral video: 1. Spell something wrong 2. Pronounce something wrong 3. Have a photo that’s close yet incorrect to the subject matter People love correcting people. More comments = more engagement = higher views.
More people should try solopreneurship. It's not as risky as you think. - Likely worst case is you go back to work. - Likely best case is you unlock a better life. Feels riskier never to try.
Something I’ve noticed about myself compared to my male counterparts. I am worried about seeming annoying and lack confidence. This looks like: -Having anxiety about emailing someone more than once -Pricing something in accordance to my expertise Working on getting over it!
Having an incredible spouse makes Solopreneurship 100x easier.

My business started growing when I realized that nobody was going to teach me how to do everything to be successful. Threads, articles, peers, mentors, colleagues, friends, & family are all great, but in the end, solopreneurs thrive when they start and learn.

@slikwines Somm specifically has this weird combination of being a word people don’t understand and associate with anyone working in wine, but also it seems cool b/c it is hard to pronounce and they saw it in a move or w/e.
@slikwines Me: I’m a [new word for wine professionals that isn’t sommelier] Consumer: so, are you a sommelier?
Easiest way to lose influence with a group: be late. If you’re “above them” the group resents you. If you’re “below them” they’ll feel disrespected. Both decrease your influence. And you can avoid the mistake with…drum roll please…an alarm.
20-25 yrs ago you could buy. Jamet, Clape, Clos Rougeard, E. Pepe (with age), Graillot, any Beaujolais or Jura sub $25; KNOW WHY? Nobody wanted it! The global palate had not hit on these styles yet, I could name 50more examples but why? Times change , prices change #drinkwine
@A_Ayscough In my long ass life I’ve never not found a metric shit ton of delicious wines at price points, a full shit ton . Thousands of wines are literally available about $15 that are delicious & sustainable. To complain about not drinking jamet or ganevat cause of inflation? I crack up
