Why it works

"What I like about this one is there's nothing crazy special about the post -- it's just a relatable story that has this sort of inspirational feel to get out there and BUILD.

Had the idea. Sat on it for 6 months. Finally decided to build it over the weekend. Here are the numbers.

You'll notice he also doesn't go into crazy detail about what the idea is. He talks about the PROBLEM it solves:

""This was the inspiration behind it - we all have tons of ideas every day, but we never work on 95% of them. At the same time, there are plenty of people who want to build something but can't think of what to make.""

The lesson: talk about the problem, not the solution."
