Most small agencies are paper tigers Hot air wrapped in a Framer landing page template Congrats. You’re just another agency bro Forever mediocre because you think results alone will make people care Here’s how I would scale back to $10M annual revenue if I had to: 1) Hunt…

You need to convert buyers into captives Be irreplaceable or be forgotten Your product should burrow into their lives. Become a limb they can’t sever. Shape them without them noticing Loyalty is dependence wrapped in fear and need Make leaving you feel like self sabotage.…

Most sales tactics don’t work on high level executives and top performers Brutal honesty is all that matters These people get their egos stroked 24/7. Try to flatter them and their eyes glaze over They don’t need more validation They need to be disciplined Pull no punches.…

Solopreneurs collect toys and call it “scaling.” Buying a Notion template isn’t going to make you rich Thinking this way traps you in $100k/mo prison Your business is not a stack of apps. It's not a Google Sheet It’s a central nervous system Open Airtable. Store your…

Rivalry hits the brain harder than modafinil. Ignites primal circuits Your blind spots become clearer when you’re in the crosshairs. Stay up all night fortifying the moat. Map every flaw. Strike every weak point. Bloodsport Growth is extracted from the souls of worthy opponents

Only losers cling to lost causes. Sinking deeper into the grave of a rotting life chapter Hope chains you to corpses. Dead end relationships. Jobs. Companies. Each minute they get heavier Exiting is a sledgehammer. Swing it. Drop the carcasses or be buried with them

Excited people always break first. High on wins but manic under pressure. Addicted to feelings. Unstable & unreliable Indifferent people lap them every time. Numbness is the mental apex. Cusp of victory or P&L swinging millions. Heart rate stays flat. Emotional blackout

Silence is a dagger. Necessary in high stakes games Sit on information for years. Watch patterns. Reverse engineer incentives Wait until your signature decides the war. Endgame. Make your demands. Hold the deal hostage. Watch everyone fold on “non-negotiables”

Mastery demands extrusion. Forcing every fiber of your existence through the machine. Your preconceived attachments get ground into dust. People. Possessions. Beliefs Some of them never come back Traces of your old self hanging by a thread. Phoenix without a shadow

Only cowards avoid fast growth. Problems come in every size Choose between a flat tire or a jet engine blowing out at 37,000 ft Altitude enforces precision. Survive and you breathe where others suffocate. Fail and you study the wreckage

Obsession destroys all quick win opportunities. Makes you a maniac You’ll turn down “sure things.” Won’t even blink an eye. Sadistic levels of mission alignment Success is no longer money or milestones. It’s scar tissue. Love of the game

Time is breaking inside your skull. Numbness turns weeks to minutes. Gnawing repetition. Your soul aches for scorched earth. To destroy the clock Only way to bend time without nuclear collapse is system shock Heavy moves with facemelting upside. The ones you're scared of

Civilization is plunging into the knife. This isn’t new if you’ve been paying attention and understand the psyops You need to escape the reaches of the machine and society’s dregs. Secure resources. Move fast. Non-negotiable Nobody is coming to save you

One of the worst mistakes I made was ignoring “hire slow fire fast” Hired a talented PM. Ghosting and lying 6mo in. Fired him midway through a high stakes project. Almost catastrophic. Ended up being a net positive The longer you wait the worse the damage. Applies to everything
