To date, he& #39;s done $25 million in revenue.

Here& #39;s how https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏽" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (mittlerer Hautton)">
On validation:
- Set up a landing page
- Drive people to it

In 30 days:
- If it works, run with it
- If it doesn& #39;t, pivot or start over
On saturation:
- Oversaturation is overused
- In general, it indicates a market

Remove market risk:
- There is only one risk
- Execution risk
Do things you& #39;re good at.

Find others to fill:
- Knowledge gaps
- Skillset gaps

Also, there are some things you don& #39;t care about.
- Find others to fill those gaps, too
On driving traffic:
- Segment and target
- Figure out where they are online
- Determine the content they enjoy
- Get in front of them
- Social proof in the reviews

On social proof:
- The more social proof you get
- The more business you get
- Then, it snowballs
On getting reviews:
- You have to ask for them
- Social proof is a currency
- Incentivize reviews
- Give discounts
- Throw in a VIP service
- Give same day purchase

Make them want to give a review. That& #39;s the goal.
On content strategy:
- Build assets
- Do Blockbuster stuff
- Put your head down for a month
- Then, blow people out of the water

On transparency:
- Honesty wins
- Help people get to know you
You can do things without funding.
- Focus on revenue
- Then, things fall into place

Lots of startups go the VC route.
- Bootstrapping requires validation
- Then, you can go for growth
