The problem with business advice is there's no accountability.

How many people:
- tried
- failed
- succeeded
- succeeded then failed

?

What are your plans for 2016?

.@JeffGoins sometimes "more = better"

1. Comedy: more material, more to throw away, better bits.

2. Sculpture: more attempts, better art.

Over 120 people have signed up for the 2016 Maker Challenge so far. 👍

I miss Zite. Flipboard just isn’t as good at showing me stuff I want to read.

@TMFHousel @hnshah we clearly need more Taco Bells.

Currently listening to Skrillex un-ironically.

OH: “I’ve never been to a Chipotle”

“Well, it’s my life.”

A "Minecraft" branded gaming PC would be the biggest hit of the holiday season.

Except nobody's selling one.

@bentossell nice! Congrats @vdemedes 👊

Ever received a gift you didn't need?

As makers, we need to build products that people want!

My friend @iwearyourshirt had this crazy idea... and he's doing it!

Sitting in the PDX airport exhausted. #xoxofest was amazing, but I can't wait to get home.

"A more mindful Internet will be a better place for all of us." - @Veronica #xoxofest

Loved @lisadraws' talk at #xoxofest this morning.

@nathanbarry super impressed by how much cool stuff you and the @ConvertKit team are shipping. Keep it up! 👊

Ultimately, marketing isn't about how brands talk about themselves; it's about how people talk about brands.

This is why @heroku's "Deploy to Heroku from GitHub" button is such a brilliant innovation. Now, anyone can find useful code + deploy it.

Talking about #buildandlaunch - my friend @alexpcoleman just launched a new course: Learn to build a web app! https://selftaughtcoders.com/from-idea-to-launch/

I'm working on my book (http://justinjackson.ca/marketingfordevelopers/), and I'm giving @madebyloren's @PenflipApp another go.

It's really improved! Liking it.

Are PayPal payments to Comixology a business expense?

Asking for a friend.

Most people aren't getting paid what they're worth.

My friend @JoshDoody just wrote a series on it: http://JoshDoody.com/course?ref=twtranncmnt1

Episode 21 of @buildlaunchpod is for sure my favorite.

"Haggard" http://overca.st/EEg2EPFCY

“Revealing the obvious” is what makes stand-up funny too.

The comedian puts words to something we all experience but haven’t articulated.

Wow. @gumroad is now offering video rentals. This could be really interesting for people offering video courses. http://buff.ly/1CqoVBj
