Pick one 30-day north-star metric
Early-stage founders get diluted by too many priorities. Choose one metric: signed deals, cash collected, or retention.
Every action should justify how it moves that metric.
Lock three weekly priorities
Keep one action in each lane:
- Acquisition: consistent outreach and top-of-funnel motion.
- Conversion: improve offer, script, and close process.
- Delivery: improve customer outcomes and repeat business.
Prevent busywork drift
Batch internal admin into a fixed half-day window and protect prime hours for market-facing work.
Each week, identify the 20% actions that generated 80% outcomes and double down.
Action checklist
- Define one north-star metric for the next 30 days.
- Set one key action in acquisition, conversion, and delivery.
