What advice would you give to your youngest self?

@phantomus_team I quit drinking, smoking cigarettes and vaping for 3-1/2 years and it was the best change for my life I ever made. Mental clarity, healthy skin and weight control, more natural energy and excitement with less depression or anxiety. I finally excelled at getting back into my education I went back to college and decided I was mature enough to handle drinking again for the “ole college experience”. Within two months it turned into binge drinking, no money, missing classes and blackout “memories” with people that weren’t my friends so I immediately quit again. TLDR; Take care of yourself and if you think you have an issue or want to make a healthy change in your life quit those bad habits for 6 months and watch how quickly your life can positively change. It’s incredible and you’ll never get that time back that you lost to mindlessly binging.

@justin_gardner Thanks Justin, and I did. Every thing you metioned, happened - the quality if life, work, and everything in between increased right away, can’t share how much because its a lot over the past year.

@phantomus_team congratulations, it’s amazing what you can begin to accomplish when you aren’t using your free time just drinking.

@phantomus_team I think moreover - alcohol has a huge impact on your hormones and your general state of balance. Clarity is key when you're trying to kill it in your career!

@phantomus_team @justin_gardner I came here to make a shitpost about "youngest self", but this was a genuinely touching thread to come across. Sometimes the internet doesn't suck

@angezanetti How do you go about pre-orders? How do you get the traction to do pre-orders?

@evan_sellers Describe your value proposition clearly (why you built it, who's this for, what's the benifts…) put this on a Gumroad page. Guess a pricing and make a 50% discount Then share this page where your potentials customers are (look for communities)

@angezanetti What kind of website do you look for communities on?

@aureliovolle I rate some of my success in business to running guilds on WoW, just like running a company when done well!

@aureliovolle @matthew_browne1 I should have spent more of my adult years gaming... that's where I went wrong.

@falak_sher I am guilty of this 100%. Procrastination kills your chance of success in this highly competitive environment.

@falak_sher I am guilty of this still. But I like to set a short time frame a week or two and launch a prototype by then.

@falak_sher I feel you! I ignored all my side projects in 2022. One of my goals for 2023 is to stop procrastinating and get going on all those projects! 🤞

@stefan_smiljkovic even just being solid with basic Excel functions like IFS, HLOOKUP, INDIRECT, etc is a huge advantage

@bomajosiah Success goes to the ones who attempt. Nothing is risk free. Go forward and success shall be yours :)
