7 lessons from people that taught me more than any business/marketing class I've ever taken 🧵

1. @naval

To be a good creator, you have to be creative. To be creative, you have to be constantly creating.

Try a ton of stuff.

Geed feedback from the world.

Some will work. Some won't.

Stick with what works.

Innovation comes from pushing through failure.

2. @shl

Find a problem that you and people similar to you face, and build the solution.

Sahil wanted to sell a pencil icon he created in 2011, and it was a pain.

So, in a single weekend, he launched the first version of Gumroad.

Problem -> Solution -> Business Opp

3. @theSamParr

Sam used a technique called “Copy Work” to become a great copywriter.

He took the best 100 sales letters and wrote them all out by hand dissecting them one by one.

Do this with everything.

You’ll learn the patterns to help you mimic the success.

4. @ShaanVP

Shaan has a template for everything he writes.

At the top of the template, it says “what reaction is this meant to get”

Ex:
- WTF
- AWW
- Woah

The content focuses entirely on the emotion he’s trying to get out of someone

This is his recipe for going viral
