Episode notes

This chapter discusses the need for entrepreneurs to prioritize tasks that may not feel urgent but are important for long-term success. It emphasizes the discomfort that comes with starting a new venture and highlights the value of creating content for customer focus and growth.

Today, we help you become the type of founder who relishes uncomfortable things that lead to successful startups. There are no real secrets in the startup world - the hard, proactive, uncomfortable work leads to businesses that matter. This work doesn’t happen without a system.

Today we help you build that system, using The Costanza Swap, The Three Levers of Resilience, and The Failure Case.

Hoo ahh.
