It's about making ideas happen. ​ ​ 🤓 Fav Finds Tools, tweets and more from [Trends Pro Members](=)​ 🧰[SEO Tools with ChatGPT]( shared by[Stewart Townsend](=)​ A video about creating bookmarklets with ChatGPT to automate repetitive tasks ​ 💀[Pre-Mortems](=) shared by[Martin Slaney](=)​ How to find and address potential problems before a project launch ​ 📊[ChartMogul CRM]( shared by[Maciej Cupial](=)​ A CRM made for B2B SaaS companies ​ ​ 📘 Read This ​ ​[10 Marketplace KPIs]()​ These KPIs will help you measure the success of your marketplace, including: - Liquidity: How many transactions take place? - Average Order Value: How much do buyers spend? - Whale Curves: Do you have more buyers or sellers? ​ ​ 🌟 Founder of the Week �€‹ ​[Jameson Lyon](​ “Before joining [Trends Pro](=), I only had a few friends who could relate to the solo founder experience. Being part of the Trends Pro community has introduced me to people who—regardless of their industry—geek out on the same things I do and share the “I found a problem, so I built a solution” mentality.” ​ ​[Jameson]( is building[Create Connected](=). A podcast and newsletter that helps multi-creatives grow their technical skills, toolkit and collaborative network. He is also a member of Trends Mastermind #0006. ​ What's your most important habit? Meditating at some point in the first half of my day. If my day’s activities are like a meal to be prepared, meditation is the sharpening of the chef’s knife. ​ What are you reading right now? Recently I’ve been feeling a bit of future shock from everything AI-related. It’s exhilarating in the same way I imagine high-G maneuvers are… if you don’t remember to breathe you might pass out. To combat this, I’ve been (re)reading [Zero to One by Peter Thiel](=). I also run a book club that’s currently reading [Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins](. They pair nicely. ​ What product or service do you wish existed? I couldn't pick just one from my "ideas" database! Broadly, I’d love to see more digital products/services built to benefit and connect people on a local level. ​ What product are you obsessively using right now? ​[Super.so](=) is my latest obsession for building content-heavy websites. I’ve been a power user of Notion for about 4 years now, so the ability to deploy a decently designed site without switching editors makes my heart hum with efficiency. ​ What are you bullish on? Great conversational skills, particularly in-person. Knowing how to strike up chats and learn more about who’s around me creates more meaningful connections in my day-to-day life. The monotonous “Hey, how are you” interaction is what I dread. I get so much more out of speaking purposefully with people. ​ What's your favorite Trends Report? 💬 [Paid Communities]()​ It was the report that convinced me to join Trends Pro, so it deserves a commission or at least an honorable mention at the holiday party. I see community building as something that will continue to grow in popularity over the coming years and this report saved me at least a week of research. ​ ​ ​🎧 Listen To =​ ​[Growing a Newsletter Using Social Media](=)​ ​[Codie Sanchez]() builds[Contrarian Thinking]() where she shares tools and tactics to achieve financial freedom.
