@brookiecookie258 Yup I agree. I run a program and it’s kinda like an MMA gym but for entrepreneurs. There are live sessions where you learn fundamentals and implement them ON that session (on Zoom) with the rest of the students in your cohort, there’s a community in Circle where you’ll post...

@streamline Okay good to hear :) not sure. Some people think it’s not for sweaty startups.

@streamline Yeah? Happy to hear that! Do you think it matches w the sub?

I did $200K in 2022. I'm building the equivalent of an MMA gym but for solopreneurs. A little bit of education and then a lot of doing, in-person over Zoom, with a group of students. (I believe entrepreneurship education should be modeled after sports, not university.) I also consult for firms...

@lightseeker7 Thanks! Yeah those will ship tomorrow and Thursday respectively.

@charlie In that case, I apologize. I’ll refrain from this type of content in the future here.

@sweetestheart I apologize if it isn’t a good fit. The point I was trying to make is that it’s possible to start small and get big. As for that definition, technically that’s a small business and not a startup. The idea of startups imply scale, which is why I was hoping this piece would have...

@charlie I know there are some indie hackers in here so I thought it might be helpful to them.

EDIT: I’m gonna open this essay up with the caveat that there’s a lot of non-Airbnb stuff in here. That’s because I wanted to draw parallels between Airbnb and other startups. I’m less interested in lazily inspiring you with examples like most sites do, and more in what you should take away to...

This won't be useful if you're running a local painting business. But for those of you who're indie hackers and are trying to get visitors to your small startup it will be helpful. I posted this essay on Hacker News. Got around 5K visitors from it so far and

Copy matters. A lot. A site with incredible copy but terrible design will do far better than one with world-class design but horrible copy. Why? Because copy conveys the message. Copy seduces the reader. Copy makes a hot cup of cocoa for you while lighting some candles and putting on slow...

What's up Sweaty Startup. This is a longer essay I wrote that I thought might be interesting to some of y'all. The videos and pictures are included here: https://www.younglingfeynman.com/essays/reframing I know in-depth pieces are very divisive so if this isn't your cup of tea, I have some...

@belledandy Good to hear! Funny you say that... I was absolutely murdered for having the audacity to say that I thought people could actually thrive during COVID with the right attitude back when it started in March. Of course now, ex post facto, those same people pretend it was obvious...

Most solopreneurs suck at writing. That's a problem because the words you write serve three critical business functions: i. They allow people to discover you. Because if you do a good job, your content spreads. ii. They allow you to build deeper relationships with people. It's much easier to...

There’s this subconscious assumption in business that big, important problems require big, expensive solutions. Actually, this is more of an axiom than an assumption in nearly all companies. Now, you can certainly find big, expensive solutions in the solution space. [1] Especially if that’s...

@fanofgod1992 Appreciate you taking the time to answer :) One of the issues I'm running into myself is that my conversion rates on the Zoom calls are low. People tend to respond with "I need to think about it." Even though the product is a great deal and has social proof. Any tips there?
