❔ Ask Yourself
What is slowing down your momentum?
A few months ago, I shared 10 things I ask myself each day. Then Jakob shared two of his own.
The one that I found to be the most useful is “What’s slowing down my momentum?”
It brings to mind: “Invert. Always Invert.”
🌟 Founder of the Week
“I love the content and rituals within Trends Pro. The community vibe is educational and respectful no matter where you are in your bootstrapper journey.”
Soma is the co-founder of Ansured. A service that provides niche, research-backed information to businesses and individuals within 48 hours. She is also the host of Trends Mastermind #0005.
What are you bullish on?
Personalized, virtual medicine for complex conditions.
Patients will increasingly have access to solutions that incorporate genetic data, medical history, and practical preferences with delivery of care within a few clicks.
Thoughts on bootstrapping…
“I love the combination of creativity, grit, and honesty that comes with bootstrapping. I enjoy the mental resilience needed to consistently fail and have the energy to try something different. I once heard that you need to have something “damaged” inside you to willingly pursue free market, ill-guided entrepreneurship. I would say what is more likely is that you have something that is propelling you towards discovery, learning, play, and in my case, what it means to really feel alive.”
