This month’s book is: THE MOM TEST!

Have you read it? I always say: don’t read books about marriage if you just started dating. What I mean by that: Read books that fit your current situation. I can read about how Facebook scaled their ad business, or how to grow your team, but the fact is: I’m just starting out, we have more than a hundred clients now, so it’s time to learn how to speak to them properly and how to run user test the most effective way.

The Mom Test is my fit.

Interviews. I have done a lot of them in the last couple of months. When you’re starting out, you should definitely take every chance out there to tell your story. Don’t be lazy. There are tons of blogs and online magazines that need new content every day. Give it to them. Make yourself known. You need it.

I was embarrassed by the first few versions of @upvoty. But validating the idea is more important than launching something “perfect” nobody uses.

👀 This lesson comes from the book I’m reading this month. Distraction is a struggle with external triggers (@neyal99’s book ‘Indistractable’). One of my best hacks in fighting distractions: I have turned off all my app notifications on both my iPhone and Macbook.

There’s a reason the do-not-disturb button is one of my favs. Swipe to see it on my Touch Bar.

Where do you get the most inspirational or problem-solving ideas?

To me it’s in the shower 💦 or when running outside 👟. Sometimes it’s better to not work intensively on the problem itself and to just go and do your thing in order to wait for that magical 🔮 solution to appear ✨
