Week 1: Is that even an idea?

Founders dilemma

Scared. Unsure. Imposter syndrome. Free without constraints is the feeling I am feeling right now.

the problem of starting something new is not a lack of ideas but too many ideas and to zone in on what is the best one to focus on.

so all this week, we had maybe 50 texts, zoom calls on what about this and what about that.

Win: Progress on the idea as we talk to a ton of people to validate if there is a need for what we are trying to build.

Learning: Execution > Strategy. CEO of Snowflake just talked about it and it makes total sense. Strategy comes from a ton of execution and not the other way around.

Challenge: Without being a room on a whiteboard, the zoom sessions are really lackluster. Big ideas come and go without the big hi-fives and hugs…. well I really miss that.

so here we go!

what would you like to see in this dairy of weekly notes on becoming intentional?

p.s. one of the big reasons I am doing this is pretty selfish - I want to go back in time and read about my emotions and how I handled them. It’s quite a therapy to push the Publish button but scared too because I know I will be judged. Well…. let’s go!
