Dark Side (amoreynis)

To hell with your flaws. What's important is something else! 1. Peter Thiel once said that Steve Jobs became successful not because he was a huge asshole, but in spite of it 🤣 Which is a very useful conclusion. 2. All memoirs about Jobs say he loved to yell at employees, was arrogant, and was a completely terrible manager. 3. However, he came up with such brilliant ideas that they not only compensated for, but far outweighed these shortcomings. 4. Every person is made up of strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, the key question is not how strong your weaknesses are, but how much your strengths outweigh them! ✌️

A good startup idea is not a method, but a goal! 1. When you launch a startup, you don’t need to “hope” that your idea will work 😮 You need to “look for ways” to make it work 🤣 But this is only possible in one case! 2. When the idea of a startup is so general that you can find different ways to achieve the same goal 🎯 3. In other words, the idea is not what the product does. And what is this done for? But this “why” can certainly be reached in different ways. 4. For example, Amazon's goal was to sell cheaper and deliver faster. Uber's goal is for a taxi to arrive within 5 minutes of ordering. And how they ultimately organized it was the result of trial and error. 5. Another useful consequence is that this approach forces you to think in terms of goals - while starting from the needs and desires of the client. And not from a specific thing that you came up with to do 😉

The cost of attracting a customer should not be reduced, but increased! 1. Oddly enough, startups that try to reduce the cost of attracting a customer to fit into their small profit margin are doomed. 2. Because only those startups whose business models allow them to pay the highest possible customer acquisition prices will survive. And there are two reasons for this. 3. First, any clever and cheap way to attract customers will inevitably be copied. After which competitors will flood in, and the cost of such advertising will begin to rise sharply. 4. Second, the one who sets the highest prices for their advertising will be able to push all competitors out of this channel. Or ruin them if they risk paying the same money. 5. So, if you are upset by the high acquisition prices in your topic, do not look for ways to reduce them. It is better to calculate your business model so that you can pay 1.5-2 times more for attracting customers! 6. And then you will simply wipe out all your competitors from this market 😉

The Unnatural Secret to Creating AI Startups 1. “I need an AI that will wash the dishes and do the laundry for me. I don't need an AI that will write and draw instead of me, so that I can spend the freed-up time washing dishes and doing laundry.” I came across this very accurate comment from a creative professional on Twitter. 2. This simple phrase provides a good direction for brainstorming AI startup ideas. Don’t try to create AI that will do something important for the person! AI should take on unimportant tasks—the routine and secondary things that people don’t like to do but have to. 3. Therefore, the goal of surveys with potential customers is to divide everything they do into two groups: what they enjoy doing and what they don’t. We don’t touch what they enjoy. But what they don’t enjoy—we replace with our AI machines and sell them the solution. 4. That’s essentially the whole secret to creating in-demand AI startups. 😉
