Episode notes
Resistance & Procrastination
- Founders often procrastinate by doing good things instead of the most effective tasks.
- This form of resistance involves engaging in marginally productive activities, masking real progress.
Maximize Existing Channels
- Focus on how your best customers find you instead of spreading marketing efforts thin.
- Clarify customer acquisition, maximize that channel, and avoid a "balanced marketing diet."
Continuous Sales
- Never stop selling, even when busy; instead, adjust your sales approach.
- Explore alternative deliverables, pricing, or project timelines to manage capacity.
