Happy Sunday! This is the Christian Entrepreneur, the newsletter that is like that real friend that tells you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it.
3 Growth concepts
Concept #1
There’s 8 billion people on the planet.
You need 500 customers.
Stop worrying about competitors or people “stealing” your idea.
My Takeaway: Competition is a distraction for 99.9% of us. Worrying about the competition or people stealing your idea is really just insecurity about your own execution. Rather than worrying about things outside of your control, just get after it.
Concept #2
Dominate one marketing channel first. Then expand your startups marketing.
My Takeaway: It is easier to double down on something that's working than to figure out something else that's not working. If you have a marketing channel, that is working, you have to milk it for all its worth. Once you have, then you can consider another marketing channel. Don’t get shiny object syndrome thinking that other marketing channels will be easier
Concept #3
Whenever anyone says “it’s complicated”, it’s not. What that really means is it’s simple but difficult.
My Takeaway: This is a hard pill to swallow. We like to overcomplicate things to excuse ourselves from taking action on something difficult. But remember, disguising difficulty with complexity only delays progress. Embrace difficulty, simplify your approach, and you'll find action is less daunting than anticipated. Its the best are just best at the basic fundamentals.
2 Personal frameworks
1. We are so busy chasing the next thing that we neglect to bloom where we are planted.
This is especially true for Christians. The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 4:11-13, emphasizes learning to be content in any situation. The concept isn't about complacency or lack of ambition but about finding peace and fulfillment in the current circumstances and using what you have right now to serve God and others effectively.
2. Today, not tomorrow, is the best time to start making new choices
Procrastination often hinders progress and delays personal growth. Every new day offers a chance to reset, reevaluate, and choose differently. The choices you make today can shape your tomorrow. So why wait? Start making those positive changes now.
