How to Think About PRODUCT-MARKET-FIT (and Founder-Market Fit) Teaser: As a founder, before your product fits the market, you have to fit the market yourself. Not typically mentioned but crucially important. Summary: Product-Market Fit starts with you, the founder — your curiosity, insight, and closeness to the problem. Founder-Market Fit is the emotional and intellectual foundation that keeps you in the game long enough to find Product-Market Fit. As Marc Andreessen said, “The market pulls product out of the startup.” But only if you’re building in a space you understand deeply. PMF isn’t a fixed metric; it’s an ongoing conversation with users who confirm that your solution truly matters. It’s like a growing stream of value from you to the users. If the currant is stagnant, it’s a sign …

How to Think About Ecosystem Building Topic feeling close to home in Web3 Teaser: When others can grow because you exist, you’ve built gravity. Summary: The final stage of company building is turning users into builders. Ecosystem thinking moves you from ownership to orchestration — from company to movement. The most powerful projects design open systems that others can plug into, build on, and benefit from. That’s how belief becomes infrastructure — and how your mission keeps compounding long after you stop pushing. This is the end of my initial series “How to think about XYZ”. It covered 20 short topics which are often forgotten in everyday business, and fight for survival. If you miss any topic that interests you, just let me know below - I’ll think what I can come up with 🤓

How to Think About Product Development Teaser: Product development isn’t building — it’s listening, filtering, eliminating, and then building. Summary: Products aren’t built; they’re discovered. Each release is a conversation with reality — an ongoing dialogue between belief and truth. The best teams move fast not to ship more, but to learn faster. They treat users as co-designers and feedback as fuel. When you view building as learning, every iteration makes your vision clearer and your company stronger.

Tana.inc added Offline mode 🔥 and improved Publish features. No offline mode is almost always a showstopper for me because I do travel a lot and can't use app managing my "knowledge & work" which needs to be online all the time. I'd say it's getting there for individuals and small teams. (if you're curious how it stands on my collection of PKM/TKM apps table - see updated version in the replies 👇 )

How to Think About Ethics So important, yet so underrated in Web3 and today’s business world. Teaser: Ethics is long-term leverage disguised as integrity. It can be your competitive advantage. Summary: Ethics isn’t compliance — it’s compounding trust. Every decision shapes the kind of world your product creates. Founders who see ethics as strategy, not idealism, win the long game: reputation moves faster than growth. Doing the right thing may slow you down early, but over time it becomes your strongest moat — because people want to help those they can trust. Don’t just do it, show it. Mention it. Prove it.

This is how every high-level B2B SaaS Step-by-Step Execution Plan looks like: 1. Conduct market research on the pain/topic your product addresses. 2. Develop MVP with core features. 3. Create lead magnets strategy and implement a trial version. 4. Launch acquisition campaigns - maybe X, FC, TikTok, or LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit. 5. Analyze feedback, add paid features, and maybe expand with multilingual support. No rocket science there. Just do it right, and it's 🚀 go business baby. (pst - tell your friends it’s that easy if they have plans in the space)

Since I've spent several days ranting about my new BuildBetter tagline building / refining process ... this is just for fun; Here's how Psychological deconstruction of the (maybe final) tagline looks like, according to Ad-GPT ... It's interesting how they work by deconstructing every word. I'm sure you're agency could do it with a more critical eye and more context, but this was fun and enlightening as well.

How to Think About Strategic Thinking Teaser: Strategy is choosing the game — not just playing it well. Most of what’s presented as strategy is just tactics masquerading as strategy. Summary: Strategy isn’t about making plans; it’s about knowing what you’re really competing on. The founder’s job is to zoom between ground-level action and mountain-top vision — connecting today’s decisions to tomorrow’s advantage. Strategy is less about being right and more about staying ready. The best founders use clarity to create optionality — and patience to make it count.

How to Think About Founder Psychology Teaser: You are the system your company runs on. Summary: Startups test more than ideas — they test emotional endurance. Founder psychology is about managing your inner volatility before it manages you. Detach your identity from outcomes, design systems for recovery, and treat your energy like capital. When you learn to regulate your state, your team inherits your stability. You don’t just lead the company — in many ways - “you are the company”, you are the company’s operating system.

Here is a nice reminder: “The origin of the word PASSION is the Latin word “passio”, which means “suffering” or “enduring.” Your passion is literally what you’re willing to suffer for.” Enjoy it :)

How to Think About Momentum Teaser: Momentum doesn’t follow success — it creates it. Summary: Loaded word; Momentum is belief made visible. It’s what happens when teams see progress, feel progress, and believe progress will continue. The founder’s energy sets the tone: visible movement builds trust, while stagnation breeds doubt. Momentum isn’t hype; it’s emotional compounding. Celebrate small wins, close loops quickly, and let progress itself become your marketing. The right focus creates momentum almost instantly!

How to Think About Metrics Teaser: Metrics are feedback loops for truth — not validation. Summary: This is a tough one because there’s too much data and most of it doesn’t matter. First, data should teach, not flatter. Tracking everything only adds noise. The best founders pick a few metrics that reflect learning, not vanity. Each number tells a story about value, retention, or trust — the heartbeat of progress. When you use metrics to ask “why” instead of “prove that”, you stop performing for dashboards and start learning from reality.

How to Think About Focus Teaser: Startups die not from starvation, but from indigestion. Summary: The hardest part of growth isn’t coming up with new ideas — it’s saying no to most of them. Even Steve Jobs said that - so it must be true! Focus is strategic subtraction: deciding what not to do so the right things can flourish. When founders treat focus as rhythm, not rigidity, they create clarity that multiplies productivity. Every “no” is a vote for the future you actually want. Your team must know that they too must be sayin “no” to most things that are not “key focus.” If they know what that means - it’s up to you.
