Has your startup "failed"? You might be a multi-millionaire. Let me explain: Most "failed" startups just shut down, even when they have real revenue. The definition of failure in venture land is strange: If your startup isn't growing revenue 100% annually, it's considered…

The future and results you want don’t care about your current constraints and obstacles. Figure out a way to make it happen in spite of perceived limitations. There’s more than one way to do just about anything.

I don't see this talked about often, but did you know there's calculators to help you determine how big your market surveys need to be to hit a predictable accuracy rate? These are great for establishing baselines in new ventures or tests for potential changes on existing…

The scientific method can and should be used for complex problem solving and strategy design, and can be faster & produce better results than alternatives. You might have heard of the Lean Startup, but the scientific method is something we all do to some degree when we're trying…

Challenge your assumptions early and often. And then challenge them again.

This week we started working our biggest project yet - a full digital transformation of a large company that will echo into org design, double operational capacity, and increase profit margins exponentially. I’m so excited but almost didn’t think to share, since I usually talk…

Pitch decks should be updated monthly during an active raise. Most importantly, numbers and traction should be current. Plus, investor questions and feedback can give insight to continually improve the story + how you present it.

Founder led sales set important foundations for future company growth because there’s no better way to understand what makes your company special in the eyes of your customers than to listen to them while you’re creating it. That special something is the executive team’s job to…

I love a 'quick fix' but they only work for small problems, like band-aids. If you have a gaping wound, an over-simplified band-aid solution isn't going to stop the bleeding. Unfortunately the internet is full of band-aid solutions rebranded as cure-all's. Always think…

The chatter about Klarna ditching Workday and Salesforce is over-hyped. This should NOT impact how anyone else is operating or forecasting as a whole right now. Yes, AI's coding ability is going to lower the cost and barrier to entry for new platforms - BUT that doesn't…

I see so many founders & exec teams who are reluctant to do the hard work because, on a deeper level, they don't want to face what happens if they put themselves out there and it doesn't pan out the way they hoped. Sometimes they'll skip steps (market research & getting to know…

Initial launches don't create overnight success. Launching & relaunching are part of the process - it never stops. The diagnostic and refinement phase after launch is crucial for refining your product, validating assumptions, and discovering what really resonates with your…

Let's talk about the 'Founder Mode' versus 'Manager Mode' - and why we should be aiming higher: - Founder Mode: The Founder/executive team are part of, or heavily tied to, the front line team. While effective for small teams, this has limited scalability. At a certain point,…
