    Nail It, Then Scale It — Or Why Product-Market Fit Is Key Even If You’re Not in Tech

    MARKETING 
    So, you’re not in tech, you don’t wanna raise money from investors, therefore product-market fit is unimportant.

    Take Ownership of Your Communication

    MINDSET 
    The dictionary defines communication as: “the imparting or exchanging of information by speaking, writing, or using some other medium.” I don’t like this definition, because it’s not going to help you to become a better communicator. You see, the single greatest roadblock on the road to...

    Are your beliefs a matter of choice?

    MINDSET 
    Most people talk about their beliefs as if they are things that they will to be so. As if beliefs were just a matter of choice, and one could instantly simply choose to believe differently. Personally I disagree with this view. I think that while you can choose your reasoning, you cannot...

    Unfair Advantages Don’t Matter - Anyone Can Be Successful

    MINDSET 
    I’ve just read 1/3 of this book which seems to be quite popular here. This thread has nothing to do with @mikecarlooch, I’m just quoting his post above because that’s the final straw that made me get the book. As far as I see, this book is absolute poison for the entrepreneur. It argues...
