Speed is your #1 advantage right now. That doesn’t mean you can sacrifice quality, but it means you need to start small, experiment quickly, and adapt. Go, go, go. Read more on what competitive advantage looks like right now:

Should you take @david_perell's twitter course? (Thread) tl;dr: If you are looking to grow your followers, I highly recommend it. The course is broken up into 9 sections. I review each section 👇

When new to social media, you need to start somewhere. Here is my findings in three bullets. - Twitter rewards better ideas - LinkedIn rewards professional relationships - Facebook rewards personal connections I am yet to jump into the world of pictures.

The game is figuring out how to get paid to play.

When faced with a decision or important situation, it’s helpful to examine your behavior through a 10-10-10 framework. How do you predict you’ll feel about your actions in 10 minutes, 10 days and 10 years?

A three-step process to starting an online business: 1) Build an audience. 2) Build a product for your audience. 3) Scale the business with plug-and-play software instead of hiring people. The audience comes first. The product, second. — @david_perell

Very informative for ITC shareholders. Excellent questions by @nikunjdalmia

Everything you do in business is a bet. The only thing you control is which bets to take, and the amount wagered (time, money, resources).

Tobi Lutke (@tobi) is the CEO of Shopify He's one of my favorite CLEAR thinkers I spent some time in lockdown going through his interviews Here are 6 mental models I got from it THREAD...

Write your own job description. Video editor? Cut up their best talks into shareable clips. Writer? Organize their tweets into a book outline. Designer? Illustrate their ideas. (Proof of work: @visualizevalue) Etc, etc, etc...

It's the course corrections that matter.

Own your distribution. If you write online, focus on these two platforms: 1) Email 2) Websites Remember AOL? Remember MySpace? Remember Yahoo? Companies come and go but your email list and personal website will still be valuable in 10 years. Invest in the long-term.

Reading this made me 'revive' a Trends topic. Thanks @thisiskp_ Something around '⚜️ Luxury Software' — Let me know if this sounds interesting?

I made 5 infographics from 5 tweets of @Naval [Thread]

@minimalstrat This was so visually satisfying!

Top takeaway from @jackbutcher w/ @mkobach _ On the internet, you could be an intern for anyone you wish You could: • Present their ideas in a new way • Organize their thoughts • Make them look good They’ll return the favor by spreading what you do best

Just spent an hour with @mkobach on IG live. We talked about the idea of becoming a "remote intern" for anyone you admire. 60 seconds after the stream ended, @aaraalto sends this over. 90 seconds later, it's on @mkobach's instagram story, my instagram story, and VV's

Publish.

5 Ways to immediately broaden and deepen your thinking capabilities : (A thread)

Well this is a first... Desperate times require desperate measures. Never tot a car company wud even want to engage a person who may lose a job or has the slight opportunity of not paying his emi....@HyundaiIndia @TheGladiatorHC @jjude

Last night the Prime Minister did what comes to him best. Maximum Packaging, Minimum Meaning. It was a case of classic NAMO. No Action Messaging Only

Main take aways from the @mkobach & @jackbutcher IG Live - Keep your visual simple by showing the moment of transformation. The before & after - The faster it is to produce, the better it resonates - Become an intern to anyone on the internet, they'll do the marketing for you

Aligning your use of capital WITH what's important to you...THAT is real financial planning.

@naval Similarly, the real test of wisdom is if you appreciate what you get out of life.

Former prime minister Manmohan Singh said that history would be more kind to him. No need wait for history to be written. My own opinion about him has vastly changed from what it was in 2014. Modi government is an economic disaster.

A lot of excellent life advice in this AskReddit thread 👌

If it hurts to hear it, look for the truth in it. If it comforts to hear it, look for the lie in it.

@naval Isn’t what you want in life another sign of intelligence in itself?

The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life.

You can make a living by filling in the blanks: Teaching people who don't know how to ________, to ________. Doing ________ for people who don't want to ________. Helping people who can't _________, _________.

What books do you actively make sure to re-read?

MEGA THREAD TIME Here are 50 ideas that shape my worldview. These are my guiding principles and the light of my intellectual life. All of them will help you think better, and I hope they inspire curiosity.

3. The paradox of specificity. On the Internet, the narrower your brand, the more people will find you. Specializing creates more opportunities in the long-term. As you pursue specificity, you expand what you can do. Here's the full 100-minute workshop.

What platforms do people like for online communities? I'm looking for a product that lets people discuss specific topics, ask each other ?s, search old chats, etc. Email doesn't have enough features; Slack is good but $100/member/yr for a casual community of 100s feels too steep.

The Director of Writing Programs at the University of Chicago doesn't study how writers write. Instead, he studies this:

When you ask 1. Railway reforms ? Modi : free Wi-Fi , mobile app 2. Agri reforms ? Modi : kisan channel , app 3. Health(covid) reforms ? NM : arogya setu app 4. Financial reforms ? Nm - bhim app Isko lagta hai mobile app se sab theek ho jaayega ??

52/ To quote Larry Summers: "A good rule of thumb for many things in life holds that things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then happen faster than you thought they could."

One year ago today I decided to see if I could build a community from scratch. Mostly I wanted prove to myself that I could do it. So I decided to take what I knew about community building and apply it to my personal Twitter handle.

Trends I'd bet on. Breathing exercises, bodyweight workouts, homeschooling, people moving away from California, outdoor offices, the decline of minimalist aesthetics, no-code, converting commercial real estate into apartments, ergodic theory, carnivore diet, and note-taking.

"re-opening" is not a binary thing. People, Places, and Processes (PPP) define our current and future state. which people can go out, where they can go, what processes are in place when they do go out.

I published this in a 1-pager: P. Milanfar, “A Persian Folk Method of Figuring Interest”, Mathematics Magazine, vol. 69, no. 5, December 1996 My late dad refused to be a co-author. But when it appeared, he printed it out and framed it; and hung it on the wall of the house. 🙂

Are there any great YouTube videos of less than 30 minutes for learning the basics of options (calls, puts, etc.)?
