Any Meeting Preparation Hacks? 💡
What do you do to prepare for meetings with people outside of your organization? How much time do you spend on that? Do you have any tips and tricks that have helped you become more efficient over the years?
How did you deal with rejection as a founder?
As founders, we're forced to deal with many NOs to get to the YESs once we get a good understanding of our customers. While we do have founders documenting their wins publicly, most of their struggles often go unnoticed. What's your experience dealing with rejections? And how did you emotionally prepare yourselves for this journey as an entrepreneur?
Can't find interviewees.
Hi. I had many articles I want to read but didn't had a time. So I decided to consume them while running by converting them into podcasts. Now I wonder if anybody else also needs it and pay for it (My assumption: audiobook and podcast listeners might pay). My first plan was to get a paying customer and interview them to understand them. So I made a LP and started facebook ads. However, I'm struggling to get a paying customer. Eventually, I've been not talking to people and not learning. That's not good. My second plan: I find people who want to listen to web articles and interview them via video call, but I have no idea where I can find them. How would you do if you were in my shoes? Thank you. https://www.getpodrest.com/
How do you manage and keep yourself engaged with different communities?
I know it's a little late to be on Forbe's 30 under 30 lists. Because I've just started my entrepreneurial journey at 30 and built my first SaaS B2B product. As an engineer, building a product was easy. But, then comes Marketing. I've started exploring and started joining every community, where I can learn and share my growth practices. To name a few, I'm part of PH, IH, Reddit, Slack groups, FB groups, LN groups, and of course Twitter. My question to fellow PH Community folks is, How do you manage your time and what tools do you use to keep yourself present in every community you are a part of? Do you have a dedicated time slot for every community to engage with community folks?
Best books for founders that aren't "business" books
What are the best books you've read that help you in your work, but aren't necessarily 'business' books? I'm reading Imperium by Robert Harris, a historical novel about the life of Ancient Roman statesman, Cicero, and it's an incredible insight into communication, strategy and creativity. What would you recommend?
