This Challenge Isn't For Everyone

The Number Two Reason Why Startups Fail Is That They Never Even Get Started:

Most people spend too much time analyzing, or planning, or making excuses for not starting - waiting to first write a business plan, or find investors, or move to Silicon Valley.

If you are interested in just watching or reading courses without taking action, then this challenge isn't for you.

Entrepreneurship is like a martial art. You can only learn by doing.

Spending 3 months preparing to start, puts you 3 months behind.

Riddled with extreme uncertainty, new ideas have no perfect time, perfect book, or perfect course that can fully prepare you to be ready to act.

You have to take a leap and just start. We built this challenge for starters.

What You'll Find Inside:

Actionable step-step mindsets, strategies, and tools for taking any idea from concept to early traction (aka paying customers).

Key Mindsets

What separates successful entrepreneurs isn't differing skillsets but mindsets. You'll learn 10 key mindsets that multiply your odds of building a successful startup.

Principles before Tactics

Overcoming Biases

BEWARE: this insidious cognitive bias will constantly conspire to your derail your startup’s progress. There is an antidote.

Viability Stress-testing

CAUTION: Rushing into an idea often results in a "zombie startup." Ideas can consume years of your life. These stress-tests help you choose the right idea for your goals.

Uncovering Secrets

Every successful startup idea was built on an underlying secret or insight only the founder saw. You'll learn how to search for and uncover secrets within your idea.

Leveraging Inflections

All successful products share this one trait. It's also what every successful VC looks for in an idea. Uncovering it is the key to timing your idea for success.

Crafting a Compelling Unique Value Proposition

The first battle of any product is earning attention. But how do stand out in the crowd? Think different, not better.

Building a Defensible Unfair Advantage

Most entrepreneurs don’t start with a defensible unfair advantage. Discover how to navigate this on day one.

Achieving Clarity

How to pitch your idea to anyone clearly and concisely. This is a foundational skill to master for landing co-founders, advisors, customers, and investors.
