You never know who's reading, you never know who's watching.
Do quality work, all the time.
Ask "Why?" until you get a valid answer.
"It has always been done this way" is not a valid one.
Have empathy for your reader.
Always write for the benefit of them, not your ego.
Ask yourself three questions:
1. Does this makes a point?
2. Does need this to be here?
3. Does this benefit the reader?
The more specific you can be with your questions, the better.
Unless you want to receive infinite clichés as answers.
Nothing is more powerful than tieing your identity to your name.
Nobody can take that away from you.
Failures may be what you just need to find your successes.
If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be where you are today.
"What feels like play to you, but looks like work to others?" - @naval
You don't have to quit your job to follow your passions.
It doesn't have to be black or white.
Start working an extra hour on what you love to do, and see where that gets you.
Thank you for making it all the way to the bottom🙏
If you found value in it, can you help spread the knowledge with an RT for the first tweet? Thanks!
Have a great one!

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
