Wow, great episode. - Claiming a stake in a niche is an important part of building a successful Twitter profile. - It is important to tell people what you are working on in your profile. - Having multiple revenue streams can be beneficial for one-person businesses.

Wow, I remember the previous one in February attending the live-call and being mind blown over what would later become Content OS. This was massively valuable! Thank you Dickie, Cole & Justin for making this happen. Got to go through again and create our own 'scaffolding' for systemizing our content.

[@shusmo]

[@chrisallenhanna]

Gold. Can't believe this only has 10k views - so wild!

[@bettinabrandt2581]

I think this is one of the biggest problems in taking action on ideas that leads to analysis paralysis… I think in systems but sometimes complicate the idea with big picture and make the development of a system very difficult for myself. Clarity and simplification in terms of focus and idea is vital. I’m not alone in really appreciating and loving the way Justin plans and thinks.

[@KanavKhurana]

Amazing to see how Justin does it. A true master.

[@Neoparker007]

This is pure gold Justine is one genius guy

[@marto1]

This is gold ⭐️

[@sufyanmaan]

[@mr.hackathon]

[@CheaithanyaPappu]

Justin's a genius

[@iamadampace]

How is this free??? Thank you Justin and Ship 30!

[@BlackSeedOil20]

What's Justin's background? He is so good at organization and planning.

[@AbdussalamPopoola]

💎💎💎

[@2tuffjuan]

Does he have a course to get your first 1k followers on Twitter ?

[@BlackSeedOil20]

I am going to write this as mynprediction before watching. I doubt he did all in 5 months. He had his coins all in place before that. I will come back after the video

[@tzenmatteo]

How about now with X

[@sebastienleblanc5217]

It seems to me that the people who make the most money online are those who sell info about how to make money online. I'm not sure how i feel about that.

[@Adam-yf3ss]

Amazing how a guy who makes $2M per year as a solo business is laying out his game plan and the video only has 30K views. Niche info. But it's gold info.
