The most important skill to master in 2025:
Entrepreneurship.
Without it, you'll be underpaid, doing work you don't give a f*ck about, and stuck settling for second best.
After 11 years of being an entrepreneur, here's how to finally build a digital business that'll set youā¦
This is the correct approach.
I remember when Designers started using computers. The exact same thing happened. The people who were quick with the software, but sucked at design, couldnāt figure out why nothing ever worked right.
Commit to your craft. There is no other way.

Who do you know who can set insanely good AI workflows?
Both for personal and professional setups.
Thereās a lot of leverage in setting up the right workflows, but with a rapidly shifting landscape, itās time consuming to test everything to build great workflows.

The first 50 days:
⢠Posted daily
⢠<100 followers
⢠Felt like no one cared
The next 100 days:
⢠Improved my brand
⢠Built a content rhythm
⢠Attracted real opportunities
My #1 lesson?
Donāt quit during the ābeginner hellā phase.
Working for a salary forces you to have an immature view of the world. You end up wrapped up in a bubble of comfort thinking youāre changing the world when, really, youāre living well below your potential. The more days you let this fantasy play out the more regrets you haveā¦

Grass is greener where you water it.
For years, sportswear was ruled by Nike, Adidas & Puma.
Big stars. Big billboards. Big budgets.
Then, a 19-year-old in his garage changed the game.
Ben Francis built @Gymshark.
But unlike those big names, he built the brand on:
- Community-first events (meetups, pop-ups,ā¦
How to start with content:
1.Record 1 raw idea (voice note, Loom, or podcast clip)
2.Turn it into 3 written posts (different hooks, same core message)
3.Slice into 5 micro-graphics or carousels
4.Expand 1 into a newsletter
5.Repackage the best into a short video
Thatās 10+ā¦
a startup that knows how to storytell today can beat one 10x its size.
because AI is killing the product gap in software. everyone has the same models, the same features, the same playbooks.
the only thing left is the story. and the story is the product, because in feeds,ā¦
the biggest realization of my entrepreneurial journey:
looking "professional" kept me broke. the day i started sharing my weird process publicly, everything changed. my awkward first videos led to my first $100,000 month. cringe content beats perfection paralysis every singleā¦
So hereās the question to ask yourself the next time you post, speak or share something:
āAm I trying to influence⦠or am I creating value?ā

Feel free to repost this to inspire others.
Donāt copy the viral posts bro.
Donāt overthink your niche too.
Instead?
Stand out by doing what 99% wonāt:
Post when itās quiet
Be helpful without being loud
Stick to your voice, not the trend
Thatās the real game.
Example:
For clientās kitchen knives, we showed:
⢠Competitor knife dulling after 20 tomatoes
⢠Our knife still slicing paper after 500 tomatoes
This single demonstration increased conversion by 37% despite our price being 3x higher.

I've signed clients from a single comment I left under someone's post.
I've signed clients from a single DM.
If you're still waiting clients to come to you first,
You're building a charity.
Not a business.
More convos = more clients.
If you are running multiple companies, what's the best way to get dedicated phone numbers for each company?
OpenPhone requires my phone number to verify, but then doesn't allow more than one signup with the same number.
It can't be a Google Voice or any VOIP number.
What areā¦
The reason your content never converts is because you have no clear CTA.
Youāre not telling people what to do.
Lead them to the next step.
Just ask.
No CTA = no growth.
