I can't believe revenue per head is even a metric people use. Per what head? Overseas staff considered a head? Freelancers? Isn't % of revenue in OpEx (includes all SAAS) way more relevant? Is it used by people to flex or something?

BREAKING: Stanford just surveyed 1,500 workers and AI experts about which jobs AI will actually replace and automate. Turns out, we've been building AI for all the WRONG jobs. Here's what they discovered: (hint: the "AI takeover" is happening backwards)

A great graph on what's happening now and going to happen with AI adoption in SMB. This is also why I say the concept of departments are increasingly fake and useless.

If you feel anxious about AI and you are in D2C, read this. Tesla FSD is a great case study on our relationship with AI and change. It's now 26x safer than the average driver and yet most people are still in the "unaware" stage of the funnel and the "problem aware" stage are

this Stanford study validates what i have been saying for a long time. AI is best for lean functions not growth functions. that's old news so i want to draw your attention to the GROWTH strategy that I believe will win most in the next phase mentioned in this study - lifting

Is contribution margin per spend a metric people look at? ROCM. I have added it on my dashboard because logically it makes sense but unsure how to use it. Our separate north stars are indeed spend and CM so I am trying to figure out why ROCM isn't being used.

Our OpEx grew 40% YoY while our revenue grew 3.2x YoY. Our OpEx is now 12% and I am pretty sure we will break below 10% by the end of the year at 8-fig size. This is counting literally every single dollar spent and on net revenue, which includes returns and discounts. Early

1. The goal is not to spend time to make money but rather to spend money to make time. 2. Don't use your time to consume. Use your time to create. 3. Practice ignoring external motivation so you can focus on your intrinsic motivations. This is not easy. 4. Practice finding

the single biggest and simplest strategy to scale that has worked for us is to simply create new funnels for a new segment with specific ads, LP and messaging for that avatar. it sounds so simple but we never did it properly before as soon as you feel like you have hit the

$1M in saving at 30. If he just spent $120K over 10 years, $1k/month can afford a lot of hanging out with friends. That's 10 sessions of $100/night a month. Can even go travelling. $880k vs $1M makes no meaningful difference over the long term. The problem is not saving too

what a ridiculous moment this is. this image might be in textbooks at some point. “tesla launches robotaxi” doesn’t even begin to do any justice in any meaningful way. kinda just the beginning of post driving civilization. second only to space because it basically rewrites
