Current Project: Reading books about entrepreneurs and sharing what I learned from them

Mission: Create a library of wisdom from notable entrepreneurs that current entrepreneurs can leverage to increase their chances of success

What I struggled with:

• No material struggles this week

What I learned:

• Classifying and categorizing people’s journeys is much more complicated than I realized, which is likely why it hasn’t been done for entrepreneurs. I learned about the Library of Congress Classification system this week and realized I have a lot to learn about taxonomy.
• Feedback this week highlighted that to be valuable to current entrepreneurs, my library of entrepreneurs’ journeys needs to be significantly more useful than existing alternatives. Marginally better isn’t enough. It needs to be 10x or even 100x more useful.
• Building an audience, then a community from that audience, and then a product based on community feedback is a company-building approach that I thought about and discussed with others this week.

Those are my struggles and learnings from the week!
