1. The Hedonic Treadmill
Success comes in waves.
You get a shoutout, a RT, a big account follows you.
You get a dopamine hit from the 200 followers.
The next day you get 2. It's ok to feel bad.
Don't.
Stay consistent, and you will get another big break.

2. The Lighthouse
Stole this from @mkobach
Keep tweeting about interesting ideas that come to your head.
People will tell you your niche for you.
They tag you in related posts, comments, discussions.
You become the lighthouse for that niche.

3. Conversational Energy
I was initially introduced to this term by @daretorant.
Conversations are not distractions.
By talking to the people that inspire you, you should be leaving each conversation inspired.
Talk to them about ideas, projects to improve yourself.

Everything is a remix.
There are opportunity for ideas everywhere.
What is a tweet you found on VC twitter that you could apply to your niche?
What recent article can you remix? Look to create your own content by connecting ideas from different fields.

5. Tweet from Abundance
My biggest takeaway from
@david_perell
is never to stare at a blank page again.
Always be taking notes, build an information capture system.
Same idea for tweets as well.
Tweets are writing in pencil. Essays are writing in ink.

6. Metrics of Connection
I know its ironic I am saying this when this thread was made after hitting 4k.
But, honestly, that was just a landmark for me to share this.
The real magic of twitter is measured in the number of calls, conversations, and connections made.

7. Baker's Dozen
Going the extra mile by doing the small things that make people feel comfortable.
Give people more than they bargain for when they click on your tweets.
People become true fans when you keep giving.
Respond to them thoroughly when they DM you or comment.

8. Community
Had a tweet here on why communities are so important.
I am blessed to be a part of so many here on Twitter.
They keep you accountable and on the right track. Would never be here without them. https://twitter.com/brandonthezhang/status/1280691073749184512
