Starting a business has never been easier. We can now sign up for a free ConvertKit account, get a nice-looking landing page, and even start selling products in mere minutes.

You need to define why you’re doing what you’re doing. This will be the guide for your decision-making. And here’s an important tip: define success in a metric other than money.

Don’t rely on someone else’s playbook for your own business because they usually have a WOW factor that you don’t have yet.
