@sentry_co wait really? What positive results have you had from it?
@nathancovey Its one of the internet flywheels that just keeps on giving. For me it solves. Beta testers, lead magnet, inbound connections. I probably got 1k followers here and on LinkedIn just because of the steak position. currently sitting at nr.60 1 short of top 50 😏. Also it's scarce so it can't be gamed.
Launching soon!
@sentry_co how did you build up your followers?
@ingmar 1. The streak list (nr.59 today) 2. Using my insight in startup / product to give ~1 launch per day a meaningful feedback from my POV (Quality > Quantity = PH badges I got 60++ this year, I have not seen anyone get anywhere close to that) 3. By having an interesting PH bio (doing an interesting startup) ...... all this results in becoming an PH influencer over the span of 12 months. I could have 10xed it as well but I code most of the day so 😅

We realized our initial idea wasn’t working, and making the tough decision to pivot changed everything. It’s been our best move yet!
Embracing automation freed up our time and resources, allowing us to focus on growth and strategy. Game changer!
@idowbmarc What did you automate?

Def deciding to bootstrap instead of taking VC money early on 🙌 Kept me focused on building a sustainable biz model from day one instead of chasing growth at all costs 📈 Also hiring my first employee was huge, finally had someone to bounce ideas off of and split the workload 👥 Wbu, what's your best biz decision been? 🤔
Bruh streaking on PH is a baller move 😎💪 But srsly, best biz decision for me was pivoting to an adjacent market when my OG target customers weren't biting. Gotta adapt to survive out here! 🦎🌴 What about you? Any clutch plays that saved your startup bacon? 🥓

I believe that every business has make or break decisions. Firing, hiring, selling, pivoting can be crucial. Adapt or die as they say.
@omar_ahmad3 so it’s the small ones that count?
I chose to focus on delivering high-quality products rather than just competing on price. This built a strong reputation for my brand and attracted loyal customers.
I started paying close attention to what my customers were saying and used their feedback to improve my products. This helped me make better decisions and grow my business.
I decided to spend money on training for my team. This made them more skilled and motivated, which in turn improved our business performance.
