Founders, You Want to pick my brain? I’ll save you time, here’s what I find in 90% of my calls:

- you have too much going on, cut 50-70% of your initiatives, channels, costs etc

- as a result, you’re executing in a mediocre/surface level way, take any signal you find and peel the onion 3 more levels deep.

- you are spending too much $ on service providers and not developing yourself or team nearly enough

- you are slow. Bc you have too many things going on and not enough resources.

- you aren’t connecting your resources/inputs to your initiatives/outputs in a realistic way.

I did all of this my first time as an entrepreneur. Learn from my mistakes.

Deeper focus, higher quality, move faster.

The most FAQ I get from aspiring entrepreneurs:

What skills should I build to be a founder one day?

I actually have an answer. 4 Skills, in order of importance:

1) Persuasive communication
2) Product sensibility
3) Leadership
4) Business Judgement

Let's unpack:

[Jesse Pujji @jspujji]

For my first 12 years as an entrepreneur, I only bootstrapped.

Last year, I raised my first-ever seed round of $3,768,000.

Here is why I did it and what I learned:

Optimizing ad creative.

We didn’t focus ads on quick-cut FB/IG ads. Instead, every ad told the full product story:

• What is it?
• What problem does it solve?
• Why this is the best solution to solve it?

Every ad creative needed to address this. Otherwise, it wouldn't run.

In 18 months, a portfolio co grew profitably from $1,500/day to $100,000/day in daily revenue.

I agreed to advise this company in 2019. There was no product & no customers, but I fell in love with the founder's drive.

Here are 3 simple things we did, weekly, to scale fast 👇

I just got an ad from a fitness influencer who was promoting something other than @AthleticGreens

Is that allowed?
