Day 20 of 1095 in the ImP-Act Challenge: Finding the Right People and Filtering Out the Motivation Killers

Hey there, fellow entrepreneurs and managers - brace yourselves for another episode of the startup odyssey! You better believe it, it's about to get as real as the third coffee of your day. ???

The Day's Debrief

Today was noteworthy (yeah, even with a week's worth of warfare on our brain cells), crammed with convos and stuff to fine-tune our vision and nail that elusive product-market fit. That's right, we're doing more tuning than a garage band before their big break.

Crazy Ride, Crazy Resources

Launching into entrepreneurship is like jumping on a rollercoaster where the safety instructions are in hieroglyphs. It's a wild ride requiring a ton of energy and resources, and yeah, I'm talking both the greens and the brainpower. ??????

The Meeting Marathon

Buckle up for countless meetings. Spoiler alert: plenty will hand us the big N-O, and some will have us wanting to headbutt a wall. Remember how we need to fall in love with the problem, not the product? Likewise with people - not everyone's gonna be your cup of matcha latte. ??

Cut 'em Loose, Quick!

If something ain’t working, you gotta drop it like it's hot. Even with AI cracking the whip, startups need time to grow, especially in the toddler stage. The main filter? The prelims. Check who they are, how they can help, and decide if this meet's even worth your calendar slot.

Nabbing the Needle in the Haystack

If you're at that stage where you gotta rub shoulders with investors, fellow entrepreneurs, and colleagues, do it smart and snappy. Learn to spot the gems and the energy vampires, or those with less value to add to your grand plan.

Ask Yourself:

• Did this chat add value? Push me forward?
• Was it a vibe, and did the other side seem to have my back?
• Is there a real business upgrade here, 'cause we're building empires, not hunting for besties?
• Without desperation, with all my aces in hand, would I still play ball with them?
• And the biggie - did I leave feeling good and keen for another coffee with them?

Trust in the Force of intuition, and remember, the world is swarming with potential allies ready to join your crusade. Choose those who vibe with your mission and the business endgame. Because, at the closing bell, you’re looking for that perfect win-win scene.

That's all for now, folks! Thanks for tagging along on this insane ride.

May your day be easy like Sunday morning. ??
