40 Hour Kit: Entrepreneurial Letter to You & Your Questions for Our Founders

Hey Reader, hope your week is running smoothly.
Check out your new 40 Hour Kit:

💡 Entrepreneurial Insight

Effective communication hinges on a fundamental principle: addressing the individual, not the perceived crowd. Rather than envisioning a mass audience, focus on crafting your message as if speaking to a single person.

Inspired by Seth Godin, bestselling author, marketing expert, and entrepreneur.

⚖️ Balance Hack

Reduce your task list for the day by 25 to 50 %. As Cal Newport states in Slow Productivity, humans tend to be too optimistic when estimating time per task. You can work against this bias by cutting your initial task list. As a side effect, it forces you to strictly prioritize stuff and stay focused on your main goals.

🚀 Challenge

Write a short, powerful email to your future entrepreneurial self, set to arrive exactly one year from now.
What's the single most crucial insight, priority, or belief you want your future self to remember to stay balanced and keep pushing forward building your business?

✨ Recommendation

There are blog articles that are timeless and should be reread several times. Paul Graham's (co-founder of Y Combinator) 'Do Things that Don't Scale' is one of those. Golden advice for early-stage startup founders on how to grow a company starting with 0 users.
