My most valuable thread, ever.
About how you can win (big).
Don& #39;t focus on what happens when you lose. ONLY focus on how you can win.
This story is about the opportunity to become the co-founder of @hypefury thanks to @SamyDindane

Samy and I met on @indiehackers
He posted a topic saying he was looking for someone to do growth for Hypefury.
I responded and we started talking.
He asked how I would do growth. I didn& #39;t promise the moon. I did have my plan ready. You shouldn& #39;t wing this. Prepare yourself.

He asked me to do a 2 month internship to see if we were a match and to show him that I could grow Hypefury.
Now here& #39;s where the valuable part of this thread kicks in.
You shouldn& #39;t ask for anything in return in case it doesn& #39;t work out.
Nothing. Focus only on winning.

If you only focus on the winning side of the deal you show seniority and yes a little stupidity as well, but:
No risk, no return. No pain, no gain. I did the internship for free.
It puts you in the "back against the wall" mode. That& #39;s when you often perform at your best.

If you don& #39;t ask for anything on the downside you also give the other guy more confidence in you.
They don& #39;t have to think about the downside. You create positivity.
They don& #39;t have to worry about what if you f*ck up and they get to pay for something they& #39;re not happy with.

Not asking for anything in return doesn& #39;t put you in relax mode. In the "if I f*ck up at least I& #39;ll still get something" mode.
It& #39;s a fearful tactic and can turn you from a winner into a loser very quickly.

You can be confident in your own skills but that doesn& #39;t mean you know everything. It also still means you should level with each other. Ask how they think you& #39;re doing and how you can improve.
If you& #39;re doing business with someone it& #39;s never a one man show.

If you know you can do something. The only thing you have to do, is to do it.
It& #39;s super simple but not easy.
Make it easier for yourself by focussing on one side only. Winning.
