@Springcoil Yup! One-off calls I process separately. But monthly calls I do through Podia.

@JoshDoody nice work! 🙌

@TheEricAnderson @SparkMailApp Should I switch? What's the big advantage?

@PyImageSearch Nice 👌

@mikeherreraTD @mattmacdonaldis Bremerton? 😉

@Swizec @thepatwalls how come u didn't invite me 2 brunch

@levelsio Skateboarders criticized Tony Hawk. "That's not a skateboarder."

Hockey players criticized Wayne Gretzky. "He's too small to play pro."

People critique when they feel threatened.

@smithtimmytim 🙌

@smithtimmytim Oooooooh nice!

@levelsio This is why I ❤️ @taylorotwell's @LaraconUS.

@pierrah_ @venikunche Nice! 🙌

@dreamerkumar Yes. Exactly!

@jamesvandyne I'll be right over!

@mrevanleo That's a good way to describe it. 👌

@louisnicholls_ It's true. Knowing your customer gives you a substantial advantage in the execution.

Ultimately, it's your commitment to continuously pursue the results you want that matters.

This is one reason why the startup mantra "ideas don't matter, execution matters" isn't quite right.

Execution is part of the picture, but even great execution is going to have to reckon with the chaos of reality.

On @HardcoreHistory, Dan illustrates the truth about going from "idea to reality."

Even when you've considered every theoretical angle, it's the chaos of reality that rules supreme.

@tenlinesofcode @seanwes Yes. This is true. (It's essentially what I did between 2012-2015)

But... once you go full time on product it's not always easy to "go back" to consulting. That pipeline of client work takes time to reestablish.

@cliffordoravec One thing that helps me: start by reading your blog posts.

Yes please!

@owenconti $500/month = $6,000/year

@owenconti Just updated the post with this section. Does this make more sense?

@ianlandsman what'cha gonna spend that on

"Be a solopreneur!"

Starting your own business can bring freedom, but it also comes with substantial risks that most founders don't consider.

@adamlogic 👍 Yes. The video artifact is helpful.

@_CCooper Thanks!

@kudapara Perfect. Thanks!

@dgoodlad Beauty. Thanks!

@davecraige @petersuhm Great! Thanks!

@FletcherCodes Beauty. Thanks.

@petersuhm Haha. Perfect. 👌

A few folks were reporting my site being down earlier.

Is it loading OK for you folks?

@jeff_archibald 🙌

@CADbloke This is really the low starting bar for affordability.

It's based on a "three bedroom apartment."

A mortgage, good neighborhood, etc.. is even more.

Not included in this chart:
- saving for college
- recreational activities
- vacations

@abadir_ It really is!

Raising kids is expensive.

@ebrahimkhalil It's really true!

My inbox is filled with founders who got crushed by the VC monster:
- Unrealistic expectations for growth
- Heightened stress in order to meet investor expectations
- Insane working hours
- Toxic effect on relationships + family + health

@Time_is_ticking Sorry, open with whom?

This is awesome. 🚀

https://twitter.com/corey_gwin/status/1062825258892161024

@Time_is_ticking Sure.

However, in North America, if you have kids + a mortgage, you'll need at least $10k / month in most markets.

The bigger issue is reducing risk by:
- reducing other expenses
- saving more of the profit

@jlogic @TransistorFM Hey Joshua! I built this just for you!

🎙️ Leave us a voicemail: http://transistor.fm/voicemail

@Time_is_ticking It all depends.

If I'd reduced my expenses by 50% (totally doable), my salary by 22%, and only lost 25% of revenue, I would have been OK.

Just canceled Medium and Audible.

Only $5 and $14.95 respectively, but I wasn't really using either of them.

I thought I would love Medium membership, but it felt like the articles became more irrelevant to me after subscribing. 🤷‍♂️

I love how @taylorjackson does his podcast.

I *believe* he just records it using Voice Memos app, and then uploads it to @TransistorFM from his phone.

No intro music
No fancy mic
No editing or post

RT @bmrothenberg: The more vulnerable someone acts, the stronger they seem.

Somewhat counterintuitive, but I think largely true.

@natalienagele 👋 I've been running http://megamaker.co/club since 2013.

We have 324 lifetime members, and about 100 of them are active at a time.

With that said, Tacklebox looks like it could be a great fit for her.
Of our active members, only 5% are women (I'm trying to fix that).

Also, apparently the fellas in AC/DC personally remove me from their list, because it takes them 24 hours to do it. 😜

@patrickbjohnson For the sake of that spreadsheet, I included taxes as an expense.

I can't recommend this "Profit First" book enough.

This section here is just bang on.

Ashley's podcast is awesome for bootstrappers:

Really smart sendoff from @iamashley at the end of her podcast.

Podcasters: at the end of each show, encourage listeners to take one action. 👍
