Venture capital & PR are like drugs
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Drugs can kill you or save your life
Use accordingly.
Okinawa is an Island in Japan with the highest life expectancy. It's called "the land of immortals"
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
The secret? Almost everybody gardens!!
Entrepreneurship is a marathon not a sprint. Be sustainable
Find your gardening.
If you’re lucky: your startup will be copied. Don’t be mad
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Channel that frustration into focus into product & community
The best startup revenge is overwhelming product/market fit
For most people: forget Harvard or living in SF
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
With the internet, you are more powerful than you think you are
1) Learn anything you want
2) Connect with anyone you want
3) Be anyone you want
And do it all hyper-efficiently
What a time to be alive.
Startup life is a life full of rejection
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
No rejection, no progress
How to learn quickly:
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Ask questions. You almost never learn while you are talking
How to negotiate well:
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Listen 90%, talk 10%
Listening equips you with info that you can use
The listener usually wins
Why the most grateful founders are the most exceptional ones:
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Gratefulness makes it hard for you to be fearful
It's 10x easier to excel when you are less fearful
The difference between hiring and recruiting:
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Recruiting is not hiring
Recruiting is actively seeking the best people to create the best possible team
Hiring is pulling the trigger
Founders should always be recruiting (especially during this economic downturn)
Period.
Most sales people stop after one or two rejections. Go until two or three
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
But never use "just following up"
Be memorable in every outreach (use video, tell a story etc)
I bet your sales go up
Lesson: try, try and be memorable
To-do lists are overrated
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
A “not to-do” list is more effective than a to-do list
Focus is the holy grail
Quincy Jones would talk to every person at a book signing and leave a personalized note even if it took him until 3 AM to get home
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
He understood the power of making people feel heard
Personalization is the secret weapon to build loyalty for your customers & team
When dealing with someone upset, think:
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Have they slept, eaten, or been bothered by someone?
Sensitivity to people is a superpower
Many team issues are like dental cavities: long term that people never can address the main issue
— GREG ISENBERG (@gregisenberg) June 25, 2022
Band-aids never work. Address main issues
You can’t fix something that starts with a poor foundation
This fantastic thread made my day. Thank you @gregisenberg .

Don’t be on that list.
Part of the problem is in how we use the word “minority”. It’s an outdated term that is engrained in our lexicon. Let’s find some more words as a community that describes us with an abundance mindset, rather than a closed off, fearful one. https://t.co/smnQfdXtEF
