Hi everyone! I'd like to invite all of you to publicly set a weekly goal in the comments. This is open to both attendees of our weekly accountability sessions and those who don’t participate. I hope offering a text-based accountability option will be helpful to everyone.This post is a small commitment to both yourself and our group. In next week's post, you’ll have the opportunity to announce whether you achieved your goal and to document your goal for the following week. Here are the basic instructions: - If you accomplish your goal from the previous week, announce your win and set your next goal. - If you don’t achieve your goal, you’re encouraged to share not excuses, but your plan for accomplishing it this week. Accountability isn’t about blame; it's about progress. All reasons are valid, but a lack of progress is not. If it takes two weeks instead of one, that's fine - just make sure to get it done. Please be as specific as possible and ensure that your goal is entirely within your control. Action: Write your goal for the week in the comments

A while back I created an internal methodology called the "Business Scale Engine" with the idea being I wanted an easy "checklist" type process to manage daily meetings and operations without feeling overwhelmed (and with a consistent priority ranking that I could rely on). I've dropped the intro to the doc below. Feel free to click the google doc link here to view the full thing if you are interested. There's a bunch of formatting and colors that skool doesn't allow for in this post so I figured it was easier to give you the intro and let you experience the full doc there. Hopefully you find it helpful, thanks all 🙏 Introduction: This document outlines the "Business Scale Engine," a comprehensive methodology designed to optimize and streamline operations within an early-stage startup. The methodology is structured around three crucial departments: Research & Development (R&D), Go-to-Market (GTM), and Required Support Operations (RSO). This covers all core areas and ensures 99% of items are covered. - Research & Development (R&D) focuses on the dual aspects of product strategy and development. It aims to refine your product into a minimum viable product (MVP) that is both scalable and meets customer expectations. - Go-to-Market (GTM) addresses the essential strategies for customer acquisition (getting), retention (keeping), and activation (referrals). It starts with fundamental activities such as customer discovery and lead acquisition, moves towards optimizing acquisition processes, and culminates in the expansion of customer acquisition channels. - Required Support Operations (RSO) encompasses the support areas necessary to handle required operations and compliance, including legal, compliance, finance, operations, and human resources. This department ensures that all critical support functions are handled efficiently and effectively, safeguarding the company from future complications.
