Startup Life: The Dream vs. The Dirt. (You’ve seen the highlight reels.) Let’s talk about the deleted scenes. What's real behind startup success? Wake up, build a game-changing product. → Reality: Googling “why is my navbar overlapping again” for the 27th time. Launch day buzz. → Reality: Your cofounder refreshes the page twice just to spike the numbers. Investor meetings = instant funding. → Reality: “Let’s stay in touch after you hit… traction.” Dream team assembled. → Reality: Your roommate joins for equity and leftover pizza. Viral growth. → Reality: Analytics that look like your heartbeat during demo day. Startup life isn’t a movie. It’s a rollercoaster built while riding it. The chaos is part of the magic. To every builder out there: Keep building. Keep laughing. Keep fixing that navbar. What’s your biggest startup expectation vs. reality moment? ♻️ Repost to help your network!

Yaser Abbass The “dream vs. dirt” is what every founder needs to hear. That mix of chaos and grit is where the real magic happens. 
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks? I use Depost AI to generate 5 viral hooks in 1 click (link in comments). I use it daily to crush writer’s block. 👇 “HOOK ME” for the free cheat sheet.

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
