5 Tweet Tuesday - February 18, 2025

💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

Out of 500M daily tweets, only 5 deserve your attention.

Here’s this week’s starting lineup:

#1 💎 

“Search all the parks in all your cities and you’ll find no statues of committees” – David Ogilvy

#2 💎 

Every high achiever needs to remember this.

#3 💎 

I love reading these leaked messages from CEO’s like Zuckerberg.

This convo is Zuck asking one of his engineers which company to buy (Pinterest, Instagram, or Foursquare). The engineer over thinks it, and focuses on all the wrong details (picks foursquare, which failed).

Zuck ends up spending $1B to buy Instagram (the media said he was crazy at the time, they had $0 revenue, and only ~13 employees). 

Proving once again, the apex skill in business is having great judgement.

#4 💎 

Great quote, this guy must be really smart. Handsome too, I bet.

#5 💎 

😂

P.S. - if anyone is looking for a great assistant or finance person for your company, hit me up. We’ve been recruiting some amazing talent out of South Africa and Egypt.

They speak English, and are sharp with excel, quickbooks etc – and you can hire someone for less than $8 hour. Insane value – most of my companies have 40-60% overseas talent.

If you want an intro to the short-list of candidates, I can introduce you to my buddy Nick!
