Someone he dislikes really likes Notion. It's perfect and everyone should use it!

notion is for internal.

The video I desperately needed to hear.

Awesome video, what would be best for feed based UI? thanks

Ron Wesley did coding in Hogwarts?

TBH there are numerous startup accelerators in the world, I didn't get the points that there are so many 'founders' obsess with that allegedly 'TOP ACCELERATORS' ,like YC blah blah

Why when I try to put my email it says I should use a big screen

Thank you for this, it truly has helped.

i tried using flutterflow, but started having issues with clicking the button, i would initially navigate to the next page, but as the pages become slight complex, it wouldnt get clicked at all. i have to build a habit tracker app for an internship, which app builder would you suggest?

Hey am looking for a business partner in manufacturing

They stole my money I was supposed to get paid on a day but I never received it. I emailed them they haven’t replied. Many people say their customer service/ help support don’t care and are apathetic

This are bad tips.

Fire video 🔥

Hi Matthew, I'm currently evaluating whether or not to launch an online community and, if I do, which platform is best. So I really am brand new to this. I found your video to be enormously balanced and very helpful. Thank you for sharing what you've learned so the rest of us can benefit!

What a useless video….

Hi for a listing mobile app what would you suggest? Please

Love this 👏 And the single product example is super helpful. I also always try to remind founders to take some creative time to brainstorm features - no matter how crazy. (What CAN we build…?) And then comparing that to the first few versions of the product. (What SHOULD we build?) That sort of reductive approach (can vs should) often gives founders the opportunity to be both visionary and tactical. And also gives them some inspiration for what the future product MIGHT look like, even if the first few versions lack a lot of the envisioned functionality. Again, great work. Please keep it up!

Thank for you the videos, your presentation style is great!

You are amazing :) Thank you. LOVE your work & teaching style.

Ive live in Mi about my entire life aside from about 5 years of it, I HATE MI!!! Its too expensive for my taste.

2:43 I had car insurance in Iowa, I was paying $45, my payments today are $160.

2:13 we still get snow???? I mean, not like we did in the early - mid 90s, we had snow then...

Thanks for compiling this video, very helpful, but I would like to challenge one information gave by you: Settings and Sharing is absolutely not easier than essentials exam. I have more than two years of experience using Notion, both personally and, more recently, in the company I work. I got the essentials badge with flying colors, without having to study at all. For the Settings and Sharing, there's a lot of details that we don't exercise on a daily basis (even if you're a workspace admin), so you really need to review the material and prepare yourself. I spent two days preparing and failed my first attemp (68% success, the minimum is 70%). I'm sure I can apply harder, study the material better and ace this next month, just thought would be nice set a real expectation of the exam, because it isn't easy per-se. Keep up with the good work :)

Thank you for sharing your story, I am hoping to start my own startup soon and hearing your story really provide a lot of persecutive.

Love this! Thanks for sharing, Matt.

Thank you SO much for capturing this!

Great journey to learn from!

He looks ditto like cricketer Johnny Bairstow

Very helpful! Thanks.

Ghost is soo good, we love it 🥰

Firstly, thank you for this insightful video. I appreciate the time and expertise that goes into creating such valuable content. Allow me to share some advanced insights that have significantly impacted my business approach. From extensive experience, I've learned that merely eliminating problems isn't enough. When you remove a challenge, people quickly forget the pain and the value you provided, leading to questions like, "Why am I paying for this service?" which inevitably increases churn. Instead, focusing on driving revenue growth has proven far more effective. By adding substantial value and boosting a company’s revenue, you position yourself as indispensable. Revenue is the lifeblood of any business, and if you're the primary driver of income, you hold unparalleled leverage. Companies that understand this can't afford to let you go if they want to thrive. Furthermore, by fostering robust and healthy relationships with key stakeholders, you solidify your position and can command premium rates. The critical factor then becomes how to scale-how to generate more revenue with the same or less effort. This strategy is the true path to financial freedom, rather than merely being a 'pain killer' which can often lead to stagnation. The bottom-up approach you mentioned is indeed spot on. I’ve also observed a common pitfall with the 'find your passion' mantra. Success often hinges on the ability to consistently execute what’s necessary to achieve your goals. Many get sidetracked by the dopamine rush of chasing passions, which can derail progress. Aligning passion with essential tasks can be time-consuming and inefficient. Instead, finding joy in the process of taking action itself is key. This enjoyment is transferable across various tasks that drive you toward your goals. It's crucial to be clear about your objectives, but the real satisfaction should come from having a streamlined workflow that efficiently propels you forward. Not all passions are profitable, and focusing solely on monetizable actions is essential. Regarding mission and vision, it’s vital to have a robust framework for decision-making amidst external chaos. A clear vision acts as a guiding beacon, helping you make strategic choices and discern which actions align with your ultimate goals. A strong company vision that resonates deeply with you serves as a critical reference point for these decisions. Overall, this video is excellent, and these advanced insights will resonate with those aiming to refine their business strategies and achieve exceptional growth.

Firstly, thank you for this video. Appreciate the time it takes to make content, and just thought I would share some insights I have found that might be useful. I have found from experience that if you remove anything from someone, good or bad, they actually do not like it. For example, spent years "taking away" problems in business. The problem with that is that the people don't remember the pain, and so don't remember that you took that pain away by solving the problem, and so once you are no longer needed, they are like "Why am I paying for this service" and you get churn. Instead, what works much better, again from experience, is to find ways to increase revenue of a company. You are adding something to them, not taking something away. Without revenue, a business dies, and if you are the one bringing the most money into the company or your clients, you have the most leverage. They can get rid of you if they want to go under. If you also stack on top of that building a solid and healthy relationship with the people, then they won't want to get rid of you, and you can command top dollar. The key after that is how do you bring in more money with the same or less time spent, that is scaling. So good video, but I think the "pain killer" analogy of is actually a pathway to getting stuck instead of getting to financial free. The bottom up approach is spot on. I have also seen a lot of situations and experienced situations where people get stuck in the whole "find your passion" thing. The real thing that needs to happen is you need to be able to consistently do what needs to be done in order to achieve the goal. People get hooked on the dopamine of "their passion" and get side railed and stalled. The other problem with the "passion" approach is finding ways to align your passion with the task at hand, which is difficult and a big time suck. I have seen this many times. The solution is if you can enjoy the process of taking action, that can be transferred to any action that contributes to the goal. You do need to know what you want, but the joy or flow should come from having a really good workflow that makes executing your tasks consume only the amount of bandwidth required to achieve the goal. Also, some passions just don't make money. They are not monetizable.

I wish there was one for building react native apps

Jinx I got the same percentage of 63% on my first attempt without studying.

Or, you can write your initial notes in a notepad or diary and then type it out to keep track of it forever. That's how I use Notion. But you do you.

very helpful, good short and nice review,, thx bro..

Was looking for info on this topic. It helps if you show actual footage of the documents and compare them on video in place of just talking against the camera.

A creative director here, no coding experience.. Now handling projects alone, im terrified... Ive always loved the no coding approach.. and ive successfully built a small web business out of this. Now, trying to see if its possible to create an app for a client using one of those solutions.. ur video is EXTREMELY usful, yet im still terrifyied. The project im working on is a self development services platform where it offeres pre recorded classes behind a paywall+ 1to1 live sessions through the app, paid per session. I would appreciate any thoughts from viewrs here as well

For the last two decades I've found it hard to really make a career working on climate solutions. I really hope that's finally changing now! Thanks for the interview, very interesting and I'd love to hear more about climate related opportunities.

I stopped my Pro account at Flutterflow because it doesn't even support ble bluetooth. You have to use external package flutter_blue(_plus) but, after experimenting some time the first function bluetooth_enabled(), asking Flutterflow why this didn't work, they admitted that i was right and this didn't work. Then the other functions for scanning a bluetooth list of devices, this also didn't work. Asking Flutterflow why this didn't work either, they said they had not the people to investigate this but I am pretty sure this didn't work. They also didn't have a sample app to show working with Flutterflow and bluetooth 4+. And I didn't find anyone on internet working with Flutterflow and bluetooth. Bluetooth is essential for all my apps and a company that has software without supporting Bluetooth, is bad. Bluetooth (IOT) is so important nowadays. So, if you want to make apps for fun or for useless stuff, Flutterflow is good. For real professional use, Flutterflow is very limited and not my choice anymore. Waste of time and money....

Thanks Matt. That was packed with some helpful resources for me as I have been using Notion myself for a couple of years. I’ve used it for my personal projects but recently started to do some Notion Consulting and feel some certifications would help with my profile a bit. Thanks for sharing.
