Few

  1. A growing backlog of things that all look truly important (on top of a list of questionable things that’s 10 times longer)
  2. Deciding on 20% or less of marketing channels to invest 80% or more of time and money
  3. High churn rates

  1. I get used to saying no to good opportunities to focus on the great ones (or rather the ones that seems the best to my <https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/philosophy/system-1-and-system-2-thinking|System 1>)
  2. There are too many channels that seems good enough to invest: SEO, influencers, SMM, sales, ads, conferences, affiliates, etc. But we only have enough time to reap the actual benefit from 1-2 of them, and it’s hard to decide on which ones to reject.
  3. https://andrewchen.com/growth-stalls/. I’ll spend the whole October fighting churn on both ends: the onboarding experience, and deploying ways to win potential/actual churners back.
