The Daily Stoic

Key Takeaways 

• Ask yourself, “What is the thing that I uniquely enjoy?” 
• Since there is so much noise in sales, you must do something to stand out; using humor and satire are two ways to do that 
• To make the niche content funny, you need to know the terminology of the niche 
• There are no rules on X/Twitter; the owner of the site sells cars… we are on Twitter to have fun and laugh!
• Criteria for identifying problems to solve: market size, excitement, time-to-first-dollar, and product viability 
• Having passion for the space and users you are serving is probably more important than passion for the individual idea 
• Don’t get married to your original idea; be open to pivoting throughout your journey 
• Question to consider: “Am I working on something valuable to the world?”
