We live in a time full of opportunities: The permissionless area.
But how should you leverage them?
@jackbutcher has created what is probably the most comprehensive guide to answer this question.
Here are my 5 key takeaways & opinions on “The Permissionless Apprentice” 👇
@jackbutcher 1. A new world
You have to acknowledge one fact: The internet is ginormous.
And every day, there are more people on it = a big opportunity.
This also means that the bar for creating value is incredibly low. It's easy to exceed expectations.
Use this to your advantage.
@jackbutcher 2. Your uniqueness
Show the world your uniqueness – your interests and abilities.
Build your personal monopoly around it (h/t @david_perell).
You're essentially able to invent your own work, which is awesome! And you don't need anyone's permission to do that.
@jackbutcher @david_perell 3. Show – don't tell
Having a portfolio where you consistently show your work is the single most valuable asset you can build.
One of the best places to publish what you do is Twitter (“public résume). But you can also use your personal Website, YouTube, or any other Platform.
@jackbutcher @david_perell 4. Do the work beforehand
It's easily possible to connect with everyone on the internet, including the people you look up to.
But do the work before reaching out to them. Show, what you're capable of.
Craft an offer they can't refuse.
@jackbutcher @david_perell 5. Live in the future…
…and build what's missing. This is the key part.
Get creative, and think about what you would want to see existing in this world. Then go build it.
And show it to the internet.
@jackbutcher @david_perell This thread only remotely shows, what's taught in this course.
Especially the included case studies of people who've taken the permissionless route are awesome and very inspiring.
I'll definitely come back to them if I need a motivation boost.
@jackbutcher @david_perell All in all, the course is quite high-level in my opinion. It essentially shows, how you can leverage the opportunities of the internet. But it does this in a very compelling way.
Transforming this knowledge into action is your duty.
(Luckily, there's an action sheet provided.)
