Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 14/09/2025Agree with everything. Disciplined enterpreneurs should see themselves as investors — investing their time mostly. And prudent investors should only take bets where the loss is not consequential. Otherwise you’re bound to reach an absorbing barrier at some point. A point of no return. 020
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 10/12/2024Welcome aboard. No getting started guide, but there are some tips in the Gumroad page which you can access from your receipt :) 010
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 10/12/2024I was attaching a 6" hole sole to my drill and muscle memory kicked in but I underestimated the size of this thing and even though it was spinning at slow speed the very wide radius made the teeth turn very fast and somehow my thumb got in the way 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 10/12/2024Had to use the workshop's first aid kit today, but luckily I can still count 10 fingers. 4120
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 02/12/2024Loved this video @marclou.bsky.social! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqgU...youtube.comI Failed 27 Businesses… And Became a Millionaire (My Story)YouTube video by Marc Lou 0160
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 02/12/2024About 5 years ago I stopped bookmarking things for "read it later". If I'm not motivated enough to read it now, it's probably not worth reading. I don't think I missed anything :) Only thing I've been using X's bookmarks if for testimonials for my products, so that I can put them on the site later. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 02/12/2024smallbets.com passed 6,500 members over the Black Friday weekend. If you're a member, thank you! 7330
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 29/11/2024German actually. They’re impressive. Rest of Europe mostly has same crappy windows like ours. 1110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 29/11/2024Those tips are the onboarding guide :) It's organic like a social network. There aren't many rules; just be nice, share your stuff, ask for help, help others if you like :) It's very casual, so you can't do things wrong. 010
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 29/11/2024Welcome aboard Julian! If you click "Join the Community" from your email receipt you should get to the onboarding instructions. Let me know if that doesn't help. 100
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 28/11/2024102 awesome people joined smallbets.com in the past 48 hours. What they don’t know is that a lot of goodness is coming in the new year and they will all benefit automatically since it’s a lifetime membership. 5240
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 27/11/2024I don’t think X is done for, but it’s possible we end up with different social networks for different levels of conversation. X more mainstream; Here (or somewhere else) more personal; and so on. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 27/11/2024Build a lot of credibility with free stuff first. The order matters. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 26/11/2024No bluesky course. AWS book is still very relevant. Never used kortex. 100
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 26/11/2024Just an opportunity to open the AMA. I plan to do more on different topics. Home renovation DIY next. 010
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Yes i will reconsider / renegotiate when my 2yr agreement with them is up. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024There are ~50 courses on various topics hosted by experts with first-hand experience (seo, ecommerce, youtube, podcasting, and so on). Then there's a group chat, which is like X / blusky but more casual and with no haters. 010
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Customers are usually not dumb, so trying to do something with no credibility usually doesn't work... or doesn't last. 100
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Education can be a business so nothing inherently wrong with that. It's like a piano player starting a piano teaching business. But of course, you must know how to play piano and how to teach. 100
Reposted by Daniel Vassallosharang.bsky.social @sharang.bsky.social · 21/11/2024On this app but not because I dislike X 🙋 1164
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024X also has user notifications which creates a feed for users you select. But almost nobody uses it so it doesn't help with this goal. 000
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024I have a 2 year commitment with Gumroad since they bought 10% of Small Bets for $500K earlier this year. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024We'll see. I would be surprised if it will be 50/50 but I'm keeping an open mind. 010
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024I didn't move. Just opened an account here as well since lots of people I know are trying it out. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Thank you. Don’t know yet. I prefer not to cross post. I’d like to post different things here. 000
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Based on the frequency of questions i get. That’s the strongest signal i think. 020
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024It still exists and has about 80 customers. But not investing anything more in it. 100
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Would be nice to have posts get delivered to followers more reliably. 020
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024Absolutely. I love Hey and would never go back to gmail. 000
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024I still like twitter. The “For You” algorithm needs some tweaks (too much stuff I don’t like) but there are still plenty of serendipitous opportunities. Some randomness is good. 110
Daniel Vassallo @dvassallo.com · 25/11/2024I’d like to do something different here. But not settled on what it would be. 050
