My first $1 online: selling a podcast summary curation
— Dickie Bush 🚢 (@dickiebush) April 8, 2023
My first $1,000 online: ghostwriting Twitter threads
My first $10,000 online: Ship 30's first paid cohort in January 2021
My first $100k and $1m: scaling Ship 30's paid cohorts
Next milestone: $10 million
Here’s how I made that first $1:
— Dickie Bush 🚢 (@dickiebush) April 8, 2023
In August of 2020 I wrote 30 twitter threads in 30 days—each of which was a breakdown of a podcast I listened to that day.
Then, I compiled links to all 30 into a free Notion page that I linked to at the bottom of this thread. https://t.co/Ies1N9Muk9
After creating the free version, I had a bunch of people reach out and ask if there was a premium version that had summaries for each podcast.
— Dickie Bush 🚢 (@dickiebush) April 8, 2023
At the time, there wasn’t.
So I spent the weekend compiling all of the summaries, then put it on Gumroad for $29. https://t.co/ho7tt3AOyo
At the time, I had maybe ~900 followers and had been on Twitter for 4 months.

Two lessons:
1. You do not need a massive audience to launch a product
2. Your first product should simply selling work you’ve already done
Curations or templates work best—keep it simple.
Here’s a pro tip:
— Dickie Bush 🚢 (@dickiebush) April 8, 2023
Don’t compare your step 1 to someone else’s step 9—especially on something that compounds exponentially like writing online.

If I lost everything today, here is my 21-step game plan to get it all back within 1/2 the time:

Do not sacrifice the future for short-term gains:https://t.co/lzBMnvNEBX

•Practice fear setting
•Talk about your plans
•Map out consequences
•Work backward, or reverse engineer
•Build teams with similar goals in mind
•People are short-sighted, this takes practice to break
Donate your time:https://t.co/OvxVmrfMNw
Volunteer
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Volunteering is the perfect starting point:
•It increases your social skills
•It teaches you valuable skills
•Volunteering guides you to meet mentors
•Volunteering gets your foot in the door to your desired industry
+ many more benefits
Mentors change the game:
Find a mentor
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
•Read The Third Door by Alex Banayan
•Understand What a Mentor Is—and Isn't
•Find who you want to be in 10 years and reach out
•Network, volunteer, and help someone successful
Find your niche by scratching your itch:https://t.co/xYJdfinvyH
Niche
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Read 3 books on any niche, and you know more than 85% of the population about that it:
•Become obsessed with learning
•Understand what you can give people
•Meet people who share your obsession
•Create products to make that niche better
Learn to love your problems
Embrace Failure
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Fail until you find success:
•Share the stories of your failures with your peers
•Push the limits, and reflect on your shortcomings
•If you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough
Entrepreneurs fail, so their customers can succeed
Create a plan.
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Here’s how to stick to it
•Envision who you will be in 10 years, and write it down
•Reverse engineer from the accomplishment
•Divide your goals into chunks
•Use tools to measure, what doesn't get measured gets lost
•Understand what resources you need
Real Estate
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
The majority of my wealth was earned by flipping real estate.
It's not hard. I bought my first house with 1% down, rented out every room, & lived in the garage.
People were paying my mortgage and giving me cash flow.
Get deals on land:
Tax liens & tax deeds.
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Instead of putting money into a bank that earns tiny interest, I put my money into tax liens that give an 18% interest return.
I use tax deed investing in Texas to get 25% returns on my investment in 6 months.
Travel:
Travel:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
You can get paid a shitload of money if you travel for work.
Expenses, travel, hotels, food, etc. get covered if you negotiate right. I traveled so much that I didn't have to live in any of my houses.
I gained enough points to like hotels & travel for free after
Next:
Buy old houses & renovate them:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
The 2nd house I got for a steal. This first floor was a giant empty garage. I saw the potential in it
I turned the garage into a 1 bed, 1 bath space which rents for 1k a month
The renovation allowed me to refi my place for a lower mortgage
Buy distressed real estate:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
If a property is sitting on the market, there is usually an underlying problem
My mentor is the master at fixing problematic properties and turning them into cash $
He bought a lot that "used to be" on an old garbage dump.
He got soil samples:
And learned that the township allocated the dump location to the wrong properties.
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
He alleviated the burden on the property and made serious bank flipping the now normal lot.
Moral:
Being able to solve problems people overlook will get you rich quick:
Make $ with renewables:
Another real estate hack:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
I worked building wind turbines & solar farms
One wind turbine on your property can get you up to $8,000/yr
These generation plants are often built on worthless land. Research land plots near wind turbines and pick them up for a steal.
Indexing:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Don't waste your time picking stocks. That's a fool's game.
Buy and hold the market to get serious compound returns.
Investing isn't as sexy as you would like to be. Set it and forget it
Media:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Your media will make you money in your sleep
Capitalize on media side hustles by:
•Becoming an affiliate
•Partnering with brands
•Selling your own merch
•Starting a membership program
•Offering premium services or coaching
Your media creates a badass network:
Code:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
You don't have to know coding to develop software.
Network and create a team of people who have a diverse set of skills.
Identify a problem that's resolution can be automated.
My plan:
Safety software for construction
It's not sexy at all, but here is how it'll make $
The problem:
— Parker Worth ⚡️ (@worth_parker) April 8, 2023
Construction companies spend billions on safety programs to keep workers safe.
However, there is a lack of skilled trainers, software, & knowledge to meet the demand.
The solution:
Automated software that gamifys the job task, to make safety fun and enticing:
Brilliant. Now, look at adjacent spaces.
