Day 281 - Using crisis as opportunity https://golifelog.com/posts/using-crisis-as-opportunity-1633659311056

The massive outage that Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram suffered recently got me thinking about how I can leverage events like that for marketing.

It’s kind of like making memes of popular movies, but for real life events. Part gloating, part satirical, part social commentary.

What I can do for marketing content at the intersection of Facebook outage, writing/creating and SaaS founders:

• Tweet a funny meme - lowest barrier to entry
• Write a single tweet about how outages or negative events can be good for PR
• Tweet a case study thread about Facebook outage and how it benefited other platforms like Twitter and Telegram
• Meta: Tweet a short thread about this post

How else would you leverage opportunity in a crisis?

Day 280 - Rich is a mindset https://golifelog.com/posts/rich-is-a-mindset-1633571552424

What’s a rich mindset?

Here’s my best formulation of it so far:

• Ethical wealth creation is possible. Money is not dirty, don’t despise the rich
• There’s always enough money to go around - it’s not a zero sum game. You are allowed to get rich. It doesn’t have to be at the expense of others.
• Money is a tool, an enabling resource. It’s a means to an end, not an end in itself.
• Make money work for you, not work for money. Sell value, not time.
• Create and own assets that appreciate, e.g business, stocks, real estate
• Growth mindset - always be learning. A static mind means wealth stagnation.
• Be rich and anonymous, not rich and famous. Limited upside, infinite downsides when you famously rich.
• Spend on quality, not spendthrift. Consume with purpose, instead of being a prisoner to consumption.
• True wealth is freedom. A blank calendar is a better indicator of your wealth than the number in your bank account.
• Rich is more a mindset, less about how much wealth you hold at the moment. Mindset is a more accurate indicator of your long term wealth and success, and your probability of trending up or down.

Day 279 - Hormesis, the law of life you never heard of https://golifelog.com/posts/hormesis-the-law-of-life-you-never-heard-of-1633486095188

One of those interesting laws of the universe and life that you never heard of – hormesis.

Basically, hormesis is what we mean when we say “The dose makes the poison.” What’s beneficial and favourable at a low dose becomes toxic at a high enough dose.

When you see this law, suddenly important in life everything seems to follow it.

– Food and water: Eating and drinking to the level you need is healthy, but over-eat/drink becomes bad for health.

– Workouts: Lifting weights, doing HIIT, running a few times a week are healthy stressors on the body. Workouts creates microtears in your muscle, which leads to hypertrophy – muscle/strength growth. But do HIIT everyday, and it might be too much stress for the body to recover from.

– Money: Nothing is more annoying than an unhappy billionaire. After survival and basic comfort needs are fulfilled, any more money brings with it more problems. If you’re a billionaire, you’ve likely over-reached.

– Social media consumption: It’s great to stay in touch with old friends once in a while, see what they’re up to, celebrate their life milestones. But hang around all day every day on Instagram and Facebook, celebration turns to envy, envy to jealousy, jealousy to anxiety.

– Entrepreneurship: Hustling is great, but too much and you burnout. Hustling needs to be paired with intentional rest to allow you to stay within the hormetic zone. Works much like workouts and muscle hypertrophy.

Day 278 - Writing your own newspaper headlines https://golifelog.com/posts/writing-your-own-newspaper-headlines-1633399438475

The past few years had really opened up a rift between my experience of reality and the reality that mainstream media portrays.

The mainstream media reality shows a world burning and dying, at the threshold of collapse from a virus.

My actual lived reality, on the other hand, is a life that mostly goes on peacefully as it had did like the past decades, albeit with masks, hand sanitizer and some restrictions.

It’s like having schizophrenia on a society scale.

It was tough previously when I saw the world through newspaper headlines. But more and more, I’m realising that I can see the world through the people around me.

I can write my own headlines.

“Man hugs wife.”
“Father has fun with son at the playground.”
“Family eats dinner together.”
“Strangers drink beer at a table and laugh.”

These are the headlines I want to write, and to read more of.

Day 277 - NFTs × Writing https://golifelog.com/posts/nfts-writing-1633328145375

Interesting intersection of tech and writing I’m observing recently on Twitter:

NFTs × Writing

I’m sensing an emerging trend here – starting to see writer folks on Twitter start NFT projects for writing. This might be the single most exciting thing I’ve seen for writing in a while.

The best part about NFTs is the secondary market – creators can be paid a small percentage of each subsequent sale of that NFT. In the real world, you sell your painting and that’s it. You don’t get a cut of subsequent sales as the price goes up. But in NFT world you can. It’s like royalties, but with a possible exponential gain in place.

Here’s the viral tweet:

"I’m at $60 MRR now.
Struggling to even get to $100 MRR.
It’s demotivating. It’s tough.
Then I remembered 99% of the world had not even earned a dollar from the internet.
I’m already way ahead of the 99%. That made me feel better.
So should you, fellow founder."

Tweet stats:
👀 33k impressions
🗣 3k engagements
👣 ~70 new followers
💬 46 replies
♥️ 465 likes
🔊 18 RTs

This approach and the reception I got was such a stark surprise from my previous approach. Less went to the site, and zero gave feedback.

Looks like September is looking up already!
