The more grander your achievement, the grander is the reward to teach.
I made the mid-career transition to product management and teach the same to many aspiring PMs
💥How I monetized my skill and made over $3300 in 12 months with almost no Twitter following and my plans to make $ 33 K in 2021 (10X) ?

🧠But there is always something that you know, which others don't know.
Remind yourself of how far you have climbed in the ladder of knowledge.
Many people minimize their existing knowledge.
I will write a separate thread on the power of running CBCs.
My participants know that I deeply care to give them massive value. I am always looking to give them 10X value of the price they paid me.
I trust they are going to be spreading the word 🗣️ about the course to their network.
1) Success Coaching
2) Product Management
You can't become great at something that is not in congruent with your hierarchy of values.
🔥Your niche is something that fires you up & you can work all alone passionately even without being paid.
Hard work wins audience. There's a lot of fluff on Twitter. Don't fall prey to fluff. 👊Commit to hard work and flaunt it.

From day 1, I intended to build @shoutoutso_ in public, and part of it is to be transparent with numbers, talk openly about our highs and lows, and share lessons as we grow!
I have been doing individual posts on numbers every week so wanted to one big thread with all updates 👇🏽

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.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
