pretty rad how my first two internet "products" — two @NotionHQ templates:
1. decision journal (gumroad.com/l/decision-journ…)
2. client proposal (gumroad.com/l/notion-proposa…)
were downloaded 314 times bringing in a humble $117
..the very beginnings of building once, selling twice.

Here's a sneaky tip adding to @NotionHQ "minimal checkbox properties" update....You can make other properties minimal 🐇
In this case, I have a formula property that returns an emoji status of a task (🤦♂️ = overdue), so here's how to make it minimal.
We're counting down to the new year with some gifts for you!
Our team spent last week reviewing your feedback and working on li'l updates to polish up your Notion workspace.
🎁 First up: resize columns to fit checkbox properties.

Less than 48 hours from launch of Entrepreneur OS, it has sold over $3,283. that’s 1/10 of the revenue we’ve earned from 8 months of consulting ‼️
The “build once, sell twice” framework is simple but revolutionary. thank you @jackbutcher and @brandonthezhang — excited to join!

whoever said “never meet your heroes” was wrong cause @SahilBloom and @thesamparr + @nickgraynews hosted a really incredible Twitterverse meetup. They tried to say hi and talk to literally everyone. And it was a cool and fun crowd too. Thank you guys!

note-taking + task management in @NotionHQ enables you to see your tasks and meetings all in one dashboard...
and stop endlessly switching between apple notes and asana or whatever silo'ed tools you're using 😉
also, lmk if you noticed the slight bump in production quality 🙏

had a super productive Notion 1hr consulting call with a client today. the goal was to see and solve client's issues live (without prep).
it went so well that i'm turning this format into a #Productivity show:
- weekly
- 20 mins
- one productivity tactic
would you watch?

if your circumstances permit, avoid the "golden handcuffs" aka well-paying job at all cost. no secret that change is difficult. but it gets especially insurmountable when you get a comfy salary and level up your means. you earn more to spend more. its a trap.

An underrated gem of a mental model: writing a decision journal by @farnamstreet to see when you were stupid/lucky as well as smart/unlucky when making an important decision.
This is unconventionally challenging but so useful to make better decisions.

a potential client was so unhappy with their disorganized @NotionHQ workspace that they wanted to move to another tool.
i asked, "if your house gets messy, will you want to move to another house instead of cleaning up?"

it is mind boggling how digitally disorganized most businesses are. especially outside the US. no forms, no process, no automation. i suppose that’s our TAM. the mckinsey of digital operations + remote work.

I learned this business lesson the hard way. And I want you to avoid this, so listen up.
Always be pitching. I said — Always. Be. Pitching.
I stopped and nearly destroyed my 2 yr & 13 ppl agency @optemization.
We almost ran out of money this month.
