@_danielmeade Almost entirely from podcasting, blogging, and tweeting.

Let me think about tactics! (Going to sleep now)

Many of us are trying to follow in their footsteps.
But along the way, weโ€™ve created some false beliefs:

Ultimately, you're looking for leverage.

Leverage is your ability to make progress; to get the life you want.

Leverage comes from 3 things:

1. Your connections: who you know, and who knows you.
2. Your skills: the value you can add to the world.
3. Your assets: money, equity.

โšก Headline tip:

๐Ÿ” Search Twitter for keywords that relate to your product. Example: "Calendar sharing pain."
