Proof to yourself
You force yourself:
• To think
• To improve

Proof to the market
You force yourself:
• To publish
• To solve problems
• To build a portfolio of work

Get paid in proofs:
• Social proof

This is greater than value of cash over the long-term

Twitter is a powerful platform to execute ‘The Permissionless Apprentice’ strategy:
• What: Publish a portfolio
• How: Solve problems with full transparency
• Who: Grow a network of people interested in the above

Warning:
• Make a genuine attempt to add value; not hollow attempts to gain momentary exposure
• One of the largest blind spots is confusing enthusiasm with usefulness. Be aware of it and move beyond it.
• Remember, wanting to help is not the same as being able to help
