"Stop calling yourself a CEO when you are at $2M to $5M. There are two phases to this game Founder mode and actual CEO mode. Early on you are not really a CEO even if the title says so. You're in the weeds wearing every hat doing things that don't scale. And that is exactly what the job requires. You need to be grinding because no one's going to care as much as you do. If your team doesn't see you working hard they won't be inspired to do the same. That phase lasts different lengths for different companies but it's necessary. At some point though you have to shift. For me it happened around"

"Making $10K+ a month and still being broke is more common than you think. I know a lot of guys pulling $10K to 15K a month who are technically BROKE. As soon as their income goes up their expenses go up even faster. Nicer car. Nicer apartment. Nicer dinners. Nicer vacations. When I landed a $125K/yr corporate job I used all of that money on building TxtCart every night until midnight. I could've flexed too by getting a supercar renting a penthouse partying every weekend in expensive clubs. I didn't. Because I already understood the assignment and NO I wasn't being some frugal weirdo. Every"

"If my $4.8M ARR SaaS disappeared tomorrow I'd still have millions. And no that money would not come from selling it. It would come from the cash flow I've been stacking and investing while building TxtCart. Cash flow is king because it gives you options. I see people make a ton of money and assume it will last forever. So they spend all of it. Then the income dries up and they are forced to start from zero. I'm not doing that. I'm building a portfolio alongside TxtCart. Last month I issued dividends to the team. Some of us earned in one month what others make in an entire year. That income"

"You can scale a mediocre product to $2-5M ARR with great marketing. Then you hit a wall. You optimize channels. You hire more salespeople. You try new tactics. Nothing works because your product can't carry the weight. To scale past 10M 20M 50M. you need a truly amazing product and a dialed-in team. You can't fake your way past that with better ads.

"If I lost everything tomorrow I wouldnt spiral or get depressed. Im a pretty emotionless person by default. Being less reactive is a massive advantage in business. A lot of people let their emotions rule them and thats when thinking clearly becomes impossible. Once emotions take over focus drops and decision-making gets sloppy. Thats why emotional regulation is a superpower most people never develop. I didnt train this trait. I was born like this. Because if you want to build a successful company or generate real money you have to detach yourself emotionally from money and from fear. The"

"Leaving your job to build a biz is low IQ. You hate reporting to your boss every week. So you decide to become your own boss and hire people. Then maybe you raise money to scale. Suddenly you have investors a board and multiple people asking for updates on everything you do. All of that just to escape one manager. Or you could bootstrap.

BOOTSTRAP AS LONG AS POSSIBLE - Raising money means giving away ownership. - Build while working another job if needed. LAUNCH FAST AND UGLY - 30-90 days max. - Ship the MVP even if it feels half-baked. DO EVERYTHING"

"25k merchants were left hanging after SMSBump was acquired by Yotpo. It used to be THE SMS platform for dropshippers. Then they switched to an enterprise solution Left that entire segment behind. Some probably stayed. Some went to Klaviyo. Some bounced between Postscript & Attentive. A lot of them are still floating. Dropshippers dont want to deal with sales calls or contracts. They want quick money. Most platforms werent built for that. Too bloated. Too expensive. Too complicated. Thats exactly who we built TxtCart for. I was that merchant. I ran the brands. I built the flows. I felt the"

"Not to be that guy but billion-dollar valuations mean nothing to us. Weve raised an astonishing $0. - No investors. - No board. - No committee consensus. Were self-funded by the customers. When youre bootstrapped speed is everything. We dont waste three weeks making a decision. We make the call and start making progress while others are still thinking about it. If we need to pivot we can. Thats a lot harder when youre a bigger company or VC-backed. Every dollar that customers pay us gets invested back in the company Comes from solving real problems for our customers. Were not chasing vanity"

"Stop calling yourself a CEO when you are at $2M to $5M. There are two phases to this game Founder mode and actual CEO mode. Early on you are not really a CEO even if the title says so. You're in the weeds wearing every hat doing things that don't scale. And that is exactly what the job requires. You need to be grinding because no one's going to care as much as you do. If your team doesn't see you working hard they won't be inspired to do the same. That phase lasts different lengths for different companies but it's necessary. At some point though you have to shift. For me it happened around"

"Making $10K+ a month and still being broke is more common than you think. I know a lot of guys pulling $10K to 15K a month who are technically BROKE. As soon as their income goes up their expenses go up even faster. Nicer car. Nicer apartment. Nicer dinners. Nicer vacations. When I landed a $125K/yr corporate job I used all of that money on building TxtCart every night until midnight. I could've flexed too by getting a supercar renting a penthouse partying every weekend in expensive clubs. I didn't. Because I already understood the assignment and NO I wasn't being some frugal weirdo. Every"

"If my $4.8M ARR SaaS disappeared tomorrow I'd still have millions. And no that money would not come from selling it. It would come from the cash flow I've been stacking and investing while building TxtCart. Cash flow is king because it gives you options. I see people make a ton of money and assume it will last forever. So they spend all of it. Then the income dries up and they are forced to start from zero. I'm not doing that. I'm building a portfolio alongside TxtCart. Last month I issued dividends to the team. Some of us earned in one month what others make in an entire year. That income"

Point is when TxtCart was doing $60-70K/month I was in SURVIVAL MODE. I was constantly stressed about whether I could pay myself the salary I needed to maintain my lifestyle while growing the company. That mental loop of "this could all disappear tomorrow" even though it made zero sense. Hit $100K/month and some of that lifted. Then December [----] happened. I was pretty tied into our financials and forecasts (usually pretty"

"If you're the average guy working for someone else right now you're not behind. You're ahead of most entrepreneurs. You can have income. You can stack cash. You can invest. You can build on the side without the existential pressure of going broke. The "RISK IT ALL" narrative sounds sexy. Drop out. Quit. No savings. No backup plan. But for every one person who makes it that way there's a MILLION WHO DON'T. Business is one of the only ways to get EXTREMELY RICH. That's true. But starting right and making more good decisions than bad while working for someone else puts you in the BEST POSITION"

"Most people don't get serious about money until they're [--]. By then they're already a DECADE behind financially. Time is the one asset you can't buy back and compounding doesn't wait for you to mature. Start investing in your 20s even if it's small amounts. Ten years makes all the difference"

"I worked with a women's supplement brand that recovered $160K in abandoned carts last month. They stopped blasting discount codes and started asking questions instead. HerPlus sells health supplements to women. Cart abandonment was killing them. Most brands panic and spam 20% off codes hoping someone bites. HerPlus did the opposite. They switched to TxtCart for conversational SMS where they: Asked about each customers wellness goals Made personalized product recommendations Guided shoppers back naturally to complete their purchase 21x ROI 10% recovery rate 60K+ conversations turning into"

"Blaming your parents is the reason you're still broke at [--]. Most of you are too scared to admit it. I'm [--] with a multi-million dollar SaaS because I realized mine raised me right. They taught me that time was my most valuable asset. To say no to distractions. To build discipline instead of chasing dopamine hits at clubs. In my 20s I cut out everything that didn't serve my goal. Video games clubs hangovers ALL OF IT. I watched college friends spend every weekend at bars. Thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours wasted. Now they're broke burnt out and asking how I built wealth so young. The"
