Episode notes

Entrepreneurs need to differentiate between building the foundation and maintenance in their ventures. Building a new product, service, or brand requires significant upfront work, while maintaining it through tasks like content creation, marketing, or fulfilling orders requires daily commitment. Many individuals aiming to change their lives or leave their jobs become disheartened by the intensive building phase, not realizing that building is temporary. It usually involves dedicating extra time for a few weeks or weekends, not a permanent state. This periodic effort is crucial to combat business entropy, stay relevant, and generate new revenue. The speaker plans to discuss 'Co's Law,' akin to Parkinson's Law, emphasizing that work expands to fill the time allotted for completion.
