"Level 1: Not enough leads Everyone obsesses over ICP (Ideal Customer Persona). Almost nobody thinks about IFP (Ideal Founder Persona). Your business is a marriage between the founder and the customer. A fat founder selling six-pack abs vs. a fit founder selling the same program: One prints millions. The other makes nothing"

"Level 2: No killer product You dont have to guess if your product works. The numbers tell you: 30%+ close rate (sales team) 50%+ close rate (founder) 3%+ conversion (one-to-many) 3% Monthly Churn Miss these marks You dont have a sales problem. You have a product problem"

"Stop saying My product is great my marketing sucks. The product is the marketing. iPhone in a paper bag Dead on arrival. Landing page = packaging. Onboarding = unboxing. Think about buying from Loro Piana vs Walmart - the experience IS the product"

"VC math: $300M exit 10% equity split with cofounder $15M each After tax $10M [---] years = $1.2M/year With 1% odds of success = $12K/year Meanwhile: Board meetings Burn rates Begging for Series B If you own your business control your time and make $250K+ a year You already beat the game"

"Green Flags of a Company (That Nobody Talks About): Everyone knows the red flags But after scaling AppSumo from $3M to $80M+ (and driving $500M+ in growth for my clients) I learned to spot the green ones The ones that predict success before it happens: [--]. Your employees bring their friends Nobody refers their best friend to a sinking ship It shows employees are committed to staying long term Plus A-players attract A-players [--]. Leadership debates you to your face Most exec teams are yes-men with mortgages In a healthy company your CMO tells you your strategy sucks. Your CTO pushes back on"

"Most CEOs post "We're hiring" and wonder why crickets. I post once and get 100+ A-players fighting for the role. The difference I spent 10+ years building relationships before I needed them. At AppSumo I scaled from $3M to $84M by treating hiring like investing not shopping. Here's the playbook that got me the best talent without begging: [--]. Build your bench before the game starts I keep a spreadsheet of every impressive person I meet. Not a CRM. Not LinkedIn. A simple spreadsheet. Name. Superpower. Last conversation. Why they're exceptional. When I need someone I don't post a job. I send"

"Coinbase is the AskJeeves of bc wallets. Functional but far from perfect. If somebody isn't working on the Google equivalent they should be. https://x.com/dhh/status/939314597290496000 Our bank may be offline when you most want your money. If that happens you probably wont be able to call anyone. Also people will probably try to steal that money.
