In many cases, Companies that offer unlimited PTO don't have to carry over the unused PTO on the balance sheet.
Overall very beneficial for the company. Not the employees though.

Last week I officially quit my 6-figure job at Amazon.
After 2.5+ years, it was time to make the leap.
If I told you it was an easy decision I'd be lying. It's extremely scary, and exciting at the same time.
No more paycheck or no more health insurance.
But now I'm all in

Everyone likes to talk about The Hustle, MorningBrew, etc.
But I’m consistently blown away when I find a digital veteran.
The guy that’s been in the game for 10+ years, building an email list since 2010, sending a weekly newsletter to 100K+ subs on Mailchimp.
The OG’s.

I once worked with a sales rep who was mediocre at best.
For the sake of this story, I'll call him Jamie.
Jamie followed the cold call scripts to a T and always managed to bring in just enough deals to keep himself out of the hot seat.
He was reliable, but never someone

Agency idea:
buy an agency subscription to Reply Guy + 10 Domains.
cold email startups. become their "reply guy". plug their biz in Reddit & twitter comments.
charge $500/m + commish on all sales generated.
let reply guy do all the work.

If you want to get rich, starting a local newsletter is a terrible idea.
But I started one anyway.
Here’s why I think it’s a bad idea, and why I’m still doing it...

The newsletter finds recent mansions that sold, who bought them & how they made their money.
All of my focus is on The Follow Up, so don't have time to run it.
Anyone interested?

When Mark Cuban bought the Mavs for $285 million in 2000, his first move was baller.
Mark immediately started ripping cold calls.
No joke.
The Mavs had just been voted the worst sports franchise of the 90’s, and ticket sales were at an all time low.

This was the first newsletter I ever sent out.
Published on December 12, 2021.
It went out to 6 ppl.
1 of them was my other email address. The other 5 were friends.
Since then, I've sent it out every Sunday for 2+ years.
124 posts and counting.

I want to buy a house in my area, but everything on Zillow is way over priced.
So instead, I’m sending “handwritten” letters to the exact house I want.
Like most things, I expect it to be a numbers game.

A candidate got hired because she could start right away.
8 weeks later, she announced she's pregnant and taking 12 maternity leave.
Never mentioned during the interview process.
Should this be allowed?

Promoting your best sales rep to management is one of the worst decisions you can make.
If you had Michael Jordan in his prime on your team, you wouldn't make him coach.
Let the players play, dawg.

Business idea: Use Pinterest trends to find trending topics.
Use keyword 'best" + weekly change filter.
Use blogtopin(dot)com to automate posting pins to Pinterest.
Send traffic to affiliate offers, digital products or newsletter sign up page.

Scrolling Twitter and LinkedIn makes it feel like everyone is trying to become an influencer.
but then you hang out with your non-internet friends, and realize how much of a small bubble these parts of the internet are.

Quality newsletter subscribers are extremely important, but too many people downplay list size.
Big companies are much more likely to talk to someone with 50K vs 10K.
Its just facts.

I've yet to see AI write a good personalized cold email.
It always looks like AI, or just really bad writing.
Even personalized AI video tools like Sendspark aren't great.
Anyone seen a good solution yet?
