Start treating your writing like a startup. • Ship an MVP • Talk to users • Analyze data • Prioritize distribution • Solve specific problems • Focus… - Dickie Bush

Every company on Earth is becoming a media company.

So if you learn to:

• Film
• Code
• Write
• Speak
• Design
• Tell stories

You become an immediate 10x asset for any company on Earth.

Or, even better, you can become your own company.

Be mindful of multiplying by zero.

• Ideas without action = 0
• Great product with no marketing = 0
• Five-star kitchen with a flooded bathroom = 0
• 10 years of 20% returns, one year of blowups = 0

Twitter is the ultimate idea refinery.

There's no better place to get rapid market validation on an idea you're exploring.

And because of this, you should never invest time writing something long-form that then "flops."

If it does, you didn't validate market demand beforehand.
