💸 Million Dollar Weekend?
+ My story | Wisdom Letter #231
Ignore the clickbait title.
This book from Noah Kagen is actually good.
Especially if you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, and want to kick start your first business.
You don’t need funding, you don’t need investors, you don’t need a ground breaking idea.
You just need to get started 💪
And you can get started in a weekend.
Noah lays out how in this book.
Quick hits summary -
Just F*cking start - begin before you’re ready
Act first, figure it out later - “Now, not How”
What’s the smallest action you can take right now towards your business idea?
Have a customer-focused approach to build a business
A business solves a problem for someone willing to pay for the problem to be solved.
Who are you selling to? Do they have money ? What are their problems?

Your goal in business is to provide value to your customers. What does value mean?
That’s pretty much it.
I’ve been asking this question, and have been on this journey for almost 3 years now.
I quit my job to work for myself and build my own business. I’m nowhere close to a million dollars, but I do have creative, calendar and financial freedom.
And that’s precious 💎
