THE INNER WORKINGS OF A SWEATY STARTUP.
How a single mom with two jobs built a $300,000 per year business while working full time.
A thread on how Brittany built her company, quit her TWO jobs, and bought a home all in the space of 18 months.

@TayOnTech
Reminds me of being called to my manager's office to find out I was being laid off.
My access to even walk back to my desk was revoked lol.
Had to wait downstairs for someone else to pack up my stuff and bring it down in a box. 😭
I think the new Theranos is here >>> Nikola.
Hit $25 billion marketshare
CEO resigns and goes dark on Twitter this morning
Net worth of $2.7 billion as of today, and the company hasn't had a single dollar of revenue.
Lawd, a thread 👇🏾
@notcapnamerica
They be like, "I can't believe grandma spent $200 on miracle water from tv..."
Few days later catch them on tiktok spending $199 on "homeopathic detoxifying tea from the foot trails of the Himalayas..."
10 years ago I wrote a 27 day case study where I let people watch me build a business from scratch.
That case-study led to hundreds of people building multi-million dollar companies.
Let’s do it again!
27 Days of Threads of me starting a business in real time!
Day zero👇🏾
The Definitive Guide to Launching a Million Dollar Company in the next 30 Days!
This is the case study that made me a millionaire (And a bunch of other people too). Let’s get to it.
A thread. 👇🏾
Pitched this company to investors last summer.
No dice.
Soft launched then a broader launch.
$647K ARR as of first full month.
On pace to hit $1 mil ARR by end of February, two months in.
Will come back and detail who, what, how etc. as per usual.

Well if she dies it will be because she isn't vaccinated.
Vaccination is a requirement for live organ donations and has been like this for decades. So she's literally dying because she's not vaccinated.
@joerogan
Joe, I'm offering you $100,000 to have a 7 year old ballet dancer debate YOU on Mixed Martial Arts.
I mean this makes as much sense as having this RFK dude debate a world-renowned molecular virologist on vaccines! 😂😂😂
The Inner Workings of a Beauty Brand.
From bootstrapping a service business to $600,000 per year, leveraging that to build a beauty brand from her living room, and getting that brand picked up by Nordstrom.
How Christina did it and what’s next!
/A Thread 🙌🏾
Two years ago (on my actual birthday) I received this rejection letter from a VC failing to raise money for my startup. Here's how I kept bootstrapping and ended up with a multi-million dollar exit. A thread./

Trump has so many sexual assault and rape accusers (with multiple ongoing court cases) they don't even fit on one image. This is not even half of them.
Overheard: "You should learn to code..."
Why? I can't write a single line of code and have built multiple tech companies.
What I learned instead:
Sales, marketing, acquiring and keeping customers, and hiring developers that are way better than I would ever be at coding!
EVERYTHING I'VE LEARNED BUILDING THREE MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESSES OUT OF MY LIVING ROOMS
Accepted startup ideas work well for people with funding, but if you're out here bootstrapping from scratch, you might want to approach things differently. /A thread 👇🏽
🧵🛠️ DAY 1- CHOOSE YOUR INDUSTRY (AND HOW THIS PICTURE CHANGED MY LIFE)
If you’re new here, this is DAY 1 of a 27 DAY series where you peek over my shoulder and watch me build a business from scratch.

Prediction: They don't know what per capita means and they'll post some absolute values that ignores the base rate fallacy illustrated here in 3, 2, 1...
@notcapnamerica
One of the wives is in there crying now.
"They were found guilty on everything, all charges..the robbery, the assaults...EVERYTHING!"
(Wait, these cats were robbing people too?)
Flew to Vegas to tour Zappos a few years ago.
Was hoping we would walk by the CEO's office.
Office? Dude was in a row of cubicles with the rest of the team.
RIP Tony Hsieh.
Vegas won't be the same. 🕊️❤️

The triple whammy of using black people's work, carrying out a campaign to deny credit for that work, all while cosy-ing up to people that are actively carrying out a targeted hate campaign against a black woman.
Imagine being killed in your sleep, we know who the killers are, and not a single thing happens to anyone involved.
Man this is one wild country y'all got going.
@IanCopeland5
Both these boys have smallpox.
One is vaccinated the other is not.
I'll let antivaxers guess which one is which while coming to the grips with which outcome they're fighting for.
I’ve helped so many people hit $1 million dollars in their businesses it’s insane.
The secret: We build sweaty startups and add technology.
It’s not brain surgery.🤷🏽♂️
@notcapnamerica
LMAO they're crying real tears!!!!
"I'm not okay, I'm not okay....they threatened to charge me for conspiracy and now I'm scaredddddd" 😂
@notcapnamerica
The institution that has literal mass graves of children in countries all over the world still thinks they have the moral high ground on "protecting kids"
It took me 4 years, $100k for my business degree, and 10 more years as an employee, to figure out I was on the wrong path.
Then 12 months of hustle, teaching myself on Google, and $450 spent on Upwork, to escape it all.
Life is a journey, but when I think back on this...😭
A REAL PATH TO BUILDING YOUR FIRST MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS...even if you have zero idea what you're doing.
-
Step 1: Find something that people already pay for
Step 2: See if that thing has made a LOT of people millions
Step 3: Go sell that thing. /A Thread 👇🏾
So I hooked my place up earlier this year because I was planning to TRY to be social and have people over for dinner parties, and pool parties, and movie nights, and table tennis parties, and rooftop hangouts, and business brunches and...then covid hit. 🤦🏽♂️
@naval
You're all for banning when it inconveniences you mildly. But the thought of banning for inciting violence that leads to the deaths of multiple people with more violence planned is just a bridge too far.
@DrJamesOlsson
The first thing to show up to a dead body used to be blow flies.
Now it's anti-vaxers writing a substack article.
Shoutout to these little guys, y'all had a good run!!
Joe Rogan describes going to see a movie in a Black neighborhood.
“We walked in to Planet of the Apes. We walked into Africa, dude. We walked in the door and there was no white people.”
His co-host asks if he had to swat away flies from his face
@notcapnamerica
@GrantCardone
This man is a habitual line-stepper!!! From begging to say the “N word” to talking about targeting black people by using simple street speech.
@DrAseemMalhotra
"Pfizer’s own trial revealed ZERO reduction in covid mortality."
This silly talking point has been debunked years ago. But when you have an audience that is especially gullible I can see why you keep on going.
Not sure who needs to hear this but...
Not every business has to be some mission-driven endeavor to change the world.
You can start a business to pay your bills and take care of your family.
That's the tweet.
@soledadobrien
I really think something is fundamentally wrong with these people. Like, not just stupid (I mean that too), but it's like a whole other level of something that leaves me completely puzzled.
@IanCopeland5
A study showed covid passes from mother to baby in utero causing brain injury.
Steve Kirsch argued the vaccine could have caused it.
He emailed the study authors, and found out the mothers were NOT vaccinated, and never shared this with his audience. Here is the email...😂
@IanCopeland5
And they'll have to explain why since vaccines rolled out for Covid the death rates for the unvaccinated has consistently been multiple orders of multitude higher than the vaccinated.
Like who chooses to be on the red line on purpose?
10ish Things I wish I knew when I was starting out in business:

1. If everything is perfect by the time you launch, you've launched too late.

@alexandertyler
Mans said, "you're lucky this isn't in Brazil, if this were in Brazil I would kill you".
I believe every word.
Anyhow ole dude will be alright.
That wasn't 1/10000 of what Brazilian guy's wife has had to go through in the past 7 years.
The amount of privilege it takes to attack a federal building, kill a policeman, and then days later be like, "let's heal and move on" is freaking wild!
@IanCopeland5
Bro in every city, state, country, continent, in every race, ethnicity, sex, gender, in every age group..lol makes no difference.
The vaccinated did better. By far!!!
@IsaiahLCarter
Here I can do the same:
High school graduates don't fly our commercial planes.
High school graduates don't perform brain surgery.
High school graduates don't manage our satellites in orbit.
People have specialties for a reason!
