Here Are Several Twitter Accounts Worth Following As An Aspiring Entrepreneur

In the same way that technological advances have unnecessarily complicated certain aspects of life, technology also spoils us. Within seconds — at most — we can access a seemingly infinite network of information. Wondering what the weather is going to be like? Done. Sports updates? Done. Stock market fluctuations? Done and done.

Our Take On The Internet (Of Things)

At the end of the day, the internet provides us with more information than we’ll ever be able to sift through, and then some. Indeed, according to a Forbes article, humanity generates an average of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every single day. Given the growth of the Internet of Things, Forbes also reported back in May 2018 that over 90 percent of the world’s data was created in the last two years. Truly, that is mind-boggling.

There’s no doubt that our blog contributes to the ever-growing data bubble slowly consuming the Earth, though in reality we’re just a small fish swimming in the internet ocean. With so much content out there, it’s important to streamline your internet usage to get what you want, when you want it.

Entrepreneurial Inspiration Provided By Twitter Users

Our most used phrase is something along the lines of “being an entrepreneur and/or small business owner is easier said than done.” Those words still ring true more than ever, and it’s all the more important to conveniently draw on sources of inspiration for encouragement during the most challenging times you’ll face running your business.

In this blog post, our Atlanta asset-based lending company takes a look several Twitter accounts worth following for an inspirational boost.

Reid Hoffman

An internet entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author, Reid Hoffman is best known as the co-founder of LinkedIn. You’ll find that Reid often tweets about investing, politics, entrepreneurship (duh!), industry insights, current events, inspirational quotes, and more.

His recent post about the importance of having sheer grit as a small business owner was particularly inspiring, and very true.

Bill Gates

You know who he is. You know why he’s one of the most influential humans alive. Though he’s mostly focused on various philanthropic activities since stepping down from Microsoft in 2014, he still holds an active presence on Twitter. With 45+ million followers, Gates tends to tweet about industry insights, his favorite reads, and philanthropic endeavors that he’s been working on with his wife, Melinda.

Guy Kawasaki

This marketing expert understands business, and he certainly understands entrepreneurship and what it takes to get your business running. Known for being a central part of Apple’s marketing team for a number of years, he’s been keeping busy at the chief “evangelist” over at Canva, an online design tool company.

Whether his tweets are centered around business, marketing, useful tools, tricks, and hacks, or touching on current events, you could call Guy Kawasaki “that Guy.”

Arianna Huffington

It’s no secret that Arianna Huffington has consistently been ranked by Forbes as one of the most powerful women in the world, and for good reason. Lately, her aim is on eliminating stress, anxiety, and burnout in the world (admittedly, a tall order) and to encourage people to focus on sleep, health, and self-care. Her 2014 best-seller Thrive articulates these values.

Typically, Arianna Huffington tweets about current affairs, wellness (specifically rest and sleep — they’re not interchangeable!), motivational quotes, and her latest work over at Thrive Global.

Gary Vaynerchuk

With 171,000+ tweets and counting, Gary Vaynerchuk is no stranger to posting on social media platforms. His twitter timeline is what some describe as “a gold mine for entrepreneurial inspo,” so you could say that his account is the right place to be.

Gary Vaynerchuk blew up from growing his family’s wine business from a mere $3 million to over $60 million and counting. As a business builder, speaker, and internet personality extraordinaire, this is a twitter account that you should absolutely follow. Don’t worry, Gary didn’t pay us to say that.
