40 Hour Kit: That Smile Is Worth More Than Your Business Model

Hey Reader, hope your week started well!
Almost 6 months ago I left Google to build a club for bootstrapped founders. And to challenge the common belief that growing a business equals hustling 24/7. Hitting this milestone, I wanted to send out a big thank you to all the founders, invited experts and equally important: to you as a reader of the 40 Hour Kit.
I can't wait to see what's next on your journey and those of the other founders! Here is your freshly crafted 40 Hour Kit:

​
💡 Entrepreneurial Insight

"If you find even the smallest way to make people smile, they'll remember you more for that smile than for all your other fancy business-model stuff."

Quote from entrepreneur & author Derek Sivers in 'Anything you want'

⚖️ Balance Hack

Take 5 minutes a day to breathe slowly. 5-6 breaths per minute.
It relaxes your body, cuts down on stress, and makes it easier to concentrate and manage your emotions.

Recommended by Cristina Llovera, former Olympic Athlete & founder of BrainWorks Centre.

🚀 Challenge

The 'Connector' Challenge: Go through your contacts this week and connect two people in your network who you believe would benefit from knowing each other. Write a personalized intro message without asking for anything in return.

Inspired by Keith Ferrazzi's 'Never Eat Alone'.

✨ Recommendation

Wondering if your last conversation with a potential customer went well? See if you can tick at least one of the following points:

• You got concrete, specific facts. You know more about what they do and why they do it.
• They signaled commitment by giving up on something valuable like: time, reputation risk or money.
• They advanced by taking the next step in your sales funnel.

Based on 'The Mom Test' by successful serial founder Rob Fitzpatrick.
