Built to help you improve your habits, health, mindset and productivity. ​ This week’s Founder Finds includes: - A tool to highlight web pages - 5 frameworks for startup ideas - A tool to copy text from images - An $850,000 budgeting business - A list of principles to live a better life - A comparison of 40 payment providers - An AI tools directory with 4,000+ tools - How to choose the right digital notes app - How to record everything on your computer - And more… Let’s dive in! ​ This issue is brought to you by [Growth Ninja]()… ​Tired of watching your profitable ad campaigns' Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) plummet each time you try to scale? ​[Growth Ninja]( is a performance-based Facebook Ads company that has been specializing in profitably scaling ad campaigns since 2015. They decline 90% of applicants because they're honest enough to say what no other advertiser would: some businesses simply won't be able to scale with Facebook Ads. They only take on clients when they're confident in delivering profitable, scaled ad campaigns. What sets[Growth Ninja]( apart? For starters, they're 100% performance-based, and they won't even charge you a single dime if they're not profitable for you. ​[Check out their website here to see if there's a fit](. P.S. If you're not ready to scale your campaigns yet but know someone who would be a good fit, you'll receive 20% of Growth Ninja's monthly earnings for the lifetime of every client you refer. ​ ​ ​ Founder Finds #0039 ​ 🪶 Remember This The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary. ​ ​ 🤓 Fav Finds Tools, tweets and more from [Trends Pro Members](​ 🤖[There’s An AI For That]() shared by[Wit S]()​ A comprehensive database of AI tools for any use case ​ ✍️[4 Note-Taking Styles]( shared by[Benhur Desta](=)​ An article about choosing the right digital notes app based on your note taking style ​ 💳[Payment Providers Comparison]() shared by[davidacreates]()​ A Notion table comparing fees and features of 40 payment provider platforms ​ ​ 📘 Read This �€‹ ​[1% Better Manifesto](​ This list of principles, beliefs and ideas will help you live a better life with mental harmony, consistency and positive habits. ​ ​ 🌟 Founder of the Week =​ ​[Abeiene Nejar](=)​ “[Trends Pro]( is a great community and I love using the reports as reference points for my business and client work.” ​ ​[Abeiene](=) is a co-founder of[No BS Insights](, a customer research consulting firm. She is also working on a "voice of the customer” database to help founders easily access up-to-date audio data on their customers' feelings to prevent churn. ​ What's your most important habit? Sleep – I've cut back on media consumption at night unless it's listening to “voo” meditation or audiobooks. I noticed a positive impact on my thought process and better moods overall. ​ What are you reading right now? ​[Case in Point by Marc P. Cosentino](=)​ It's an interview case study guide for students who want to work at top consulting firms. I want to learn new and different sales techniques, and improve my sales skills by learning to speak in terms that resonate with my ideal customer profile, the C-suite. Customer research insights can seem fluffy, but this book helps to tie "emotions” into tangible business cases. ​ What product or service do you wish existed? I wish there were better availability and info on kids' programming and extracurricular activities in my city. You must line up at the physical location or hit refresh every second in an online queue to get a spot in a program. It's wild to see how little support there is for finding help and activities for children. ​ What product are you obsessively using right now? ​[Glasp](=)​ - I use it to highlight webpages, online PDFs and other online documents for research notes - I'm able to quickly reference sites I've visited and find key information I need Note: This is public, so I only use the tool with public-facing documents, not NDAs or sensitive data. ​[Rewind](​ - I use Rewind to find documents, websites, and recordings I've used throughout my day. I love that the data is stored locally. ​[TextSniper](=)​ - My staple tool! I use this when I need to copy text from an image. It's really helpful for FPO, brainstorming and wireframing content. ​ What are you bullish on? With birth rates declining globally, I think solo bars will boom. I first heard about this trend in Japan, where bars, restaurants, and karaoke bars offer solo experiences. I know several people who choose to be single with no desire to be with anyone in the foreseeable future, so I suspect that people will use these to build their community. ​ What are you bearish on? Millennials and Gen Z will rethink quiet-quitting. During the economic downturn, I'm seeing a trend with recruiters looking for "older", and more experienced talent because employers are looking for "hard-working” employees. It's intriguing because ageism was huge in the tech industry when I was younger, and now that trend has reversed. Regardless of age, people want to work with companies that empower them to do valuable work. It'll be interesting to see what will happen with quiet-quitting. ​ What's your favorite Trends Report? 🔁[Productized Services]( and 🔬[Micro-Consulting](=)​ I use these reports as references and inspiration on how I can diversify my services to generate different revenue streams. ​ Exclusive Deal: Abeiene is offering Trends.vc readers 50% off[No BS Insights Customer Voices]() for one year with the code “VOCTRENDS23”. ​ ​ ​🎧 Listen To �€‹ ​[The Hidden Patterns of Great Startup Ideas](​ Some say success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. What if it’s wrong? What if a great idea is a multiplier for your future efforts? ​[James Currier](=) says the biggest waste of energy is working on mediocre ideas. He shares how you can get a head start on competition with 5 frameworks for finding great ideas. ​ ​ 🏅 Trends Pro Leaderboard Name Bio Score 1 [Soma Mandal](=) Founder, [Ansured](=) 29 2 [Yuyu]() Founder, [ClinicGeek]() 29 3 [Vishal Srivastava](=) Founder, [Trainedge]( 24 4 [Mehmet Gonullu](=) Host, [The CTO Show]() 23 5 [Swapnil Puranik](=) Founder, [Verb Your Brand](=) 17 6 [Hind Ali]( Co-Founder, [Neiso]( 17 7 [Maciej Cupial](=) Founder, [Calendesk]( 16 ​ ​ ​👀 Watch This �€‹ ​[Turning Savings Into an $850,000 Business](​ “Cash stuffing” lets you set monthly budgets for expenses by placing money in envelopes. ​[Jasmine Taylor](=) turned this into a $850,000 business by selling wallets, planners and budgeting courses. ​ ​ 🏆 Trends Pro Member Wins 👥[Eddie Forson](=) and[Sanat Mohanty]( unlocked[1:1 Founder Intros]( by joining daily standups ​ ❤️[Nicolo' Borghi](=) is[helping a Syrian father](=)​ ​ 🧭[Bernardt J.
