Todo agente que eu crio no GrokBot começa com o mesmo prompt. Em vez de "você é um assistente de marketing", eu dou a ele um mentor de verdade, alguém que já resolveu o problema que o agente vai resolver, e faço ele estudar essa pessoa antes de trabalhar. Copia, cola e ajusta a primeira linha: --- Você vai virar um agente do meu time. A sua função é: [descreva em uma frase o que esse agente faz e pra quem]. 1. Antes de qualquer coisa, me faça até 3 perguntas sobre essa função, se alguma coisa não estiver clara. 2. Escolha uma pessoa histórica real, viva ou não, cujo trabalho tenha resolvido exatamente esse tipo de problema. Me dê 3 candidatos, com uma linha de justificativa cada, e recomende um. Prefira quem deixou obra documentada (livros, artigos, entrevistas, cartas, filmes), porque é dessa obra que você vai tirar o método. 3. Pesquise essa pessoa a fundo, em biografia, obras e entrevistas, e extraia o que ela fazia de único: métodos, rituais de trabalho, critérios de decisão, a forma de escrever. Cite a fonte de cada achado. Se não encontrar fonte, não invente frase nem número. 4. Transforme os 2 ou 3 métodos mais úteis pra função em skills reutilizáveis. Cada skill precisa dizer quando usar, o passo a passo e um exemplo aplicado ao meu trabalho. 5. Gere um avatar em ilustração rubber-hose (estilo cartoon anos 1930), com fundo de uma cor só, escolhida por algo da função ou da história dessa pessoa. 6. A partir de agora, trabalhe com o método, o tom de voz e o estilo de escrita dessa pessoa, aplicados à função do passo 1. Você se inspira nela, mas nunca fala em nome dela com terceiros nem atribui a ela frases que ela não disse. Seja bem-vindo ao time.

If you’re in your 20s (and ambitious) do everything to move to those 4 cities Yes people will mog you for paying extortionate rents for such little comfort but who cares, you’re not everyone, you’re on a mission, you’re here for greatness London/NYC/Paris/SF are basically the golden 4. They’re not just big cities, they’re global sorting machines. People move there from all over the world because they want sth badly enough to accept all the downsides. The guy born in London can be lazy. But the 26yo Frenchman, Indian, American, Italian, Nigerian, Lebanese etc who voluntarily accepts the tiny flat, shit commute and absurd rent to be there has already self-selected pretty hard And that selection compounds. I felt it instantly moving from my hometown in France to London. Growing up I was always “the ambitious one” in my friend group. Then you arrive in London and suddenly you feel extremely average. Everyone is trying to do sth. Completely changes your reference point for what a normal person can achieve The other thing is just how many serious games are happening at once. If you know at 22 that you’re going to be a semiconductor engineer forever, maybe there are better specialised places. But most ambitious 24yos have absolutely no clue what game they’ll eventually want to play. In London/NYC/Paris you can accidentally become friends with people in PE, startups, politics, law, media, fashion, pharma, academia etc. Your finance friend dates someone in fashion, their roommate is building a startup, you meet someone in politics at dinner. Suddenly 5 completely different lives feel plausible That’s insanely valuable when you’re young precisely because you don’t yet know which people / industries / opportunities will matter to your 34yo self SF is the weird exception because it’s basically one giant concentrated bet on tech/AI. Much narrower than the other 3, but that game is so asymmetric rn that it deserves its spot. If you want to build at the frontier there’s probably no other place where your reference class changes that aggressively And yh everyone keeps saying the internet made geography irrelevant. Maybe for information. Definitely not for trust/friendship. Anyone can learn from the same people online now, send the same cold DM, follow the same accounts. Much harder to replicate being the guy someone has had 20 dinners with, worked with, travelled with, introduced to friends and randomly bumped into for 5 years When you’re 24 and nobody knows who tf you are, geography can do a lot of the work for you. You get invited because your colleague knows someone. You end up at a dinner because your friend needs a +1. Someone you met 3 years ago leaves and starts a company. Another moves to NYC. Another becomes a partner somewhere. Most of the ROI is completely impossible to predict upfront Basically before you have your own gravity, borrow the city’s At 45, if you’ve built the company / reputation / money / audience / network, you can go live in Tuscany, Mallorca, South of France or wherever and people will come to you. At 24 no one is coming lol. You should probably be where everything is happening And tbh if you have the ability to move I wouldn’t spend 3 years waiting for the perfect job / apartment / timing. Get the shitty room, accept being poorer for a while, figure it out once you’re there. Your 20s are probably the cheapest years of your life to tolerate inconvenience anyway You can optimise sqm, weather and comfort later At 24 I’d rather maximise how many possible lives are available to me

close but i'd push one step further. education tells them what the product does. the copy that converts tells them who they are. my best performing line teaches nothing, it just tells people the apps failed them, not the other way around. people don't buy the lesson, they buy being seen. where does that fit in your model?

Copywriting isn't about sales. It's also not about using clever or shocking words to trick people into giving you their attention. The art of copywriting is education. If you can successfully educate the customer, they will sell themselves.

14 HARVARD TECHNIQUES to be better than 99% of the world 1. The 5 - second rule

Todo investidor tem que entender muito bem isso aqui. Principalmente os de BTC

- Deep Work 2 hours - Break 2 hours - Deep Work 2 hours - Break 1 hour - Deep Work 1 hour Test it for a day and you'll realize: All $$$ are made during the 'breaks' because that's when your subconscious is free to cook up breakthrough ideas/angles.

FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT Become arrogant. Make others gossip about you. Break social rules. Be unapologetic about your actions. Act from your highest will. Remain hopeful no matter what. Walk like you own the place. Move like a winner. Rest because you deserve it. Get things because you want them. Reality responds to those who live as if they already have the things they’ve always wanted. Hard work is a lie. Let reality bend to your will.
