Want to know what a company truly values?
Look at the CEO’s calendar.

If it’s packed with investor calls... that’s the priority.
If it’s team 1:1s and product reviews... that’s the signal.

Your calendar is your loudest culture deck.
Use it with intent.

I used to think success came from vision, strategy, funding.

Truth is... it comes from people.

Your first 10 hires will:
👉 Set the culture
👉 Build the systems
👉 Shape every hire after them

Get it wrong, and you clean up for years.
Get it right, and you build something that flies.

We were growing fast... and I hated it.

Why? We were scaling chaos.
No systems. No onboarding. Revenue with no margin.

Motion isn’t progress.

Real growth is:
✅ Profitable
✅ Systematized
✅ Repeatable

Burnout is not a business model.

Forget pitch decks and vanity metrics.

Would you actually use what you’re building?

If not... start over.

Solve something real. For yourself first.
Then scale it.

The best products always start personal.

Startups don’t fail from too few ideas.
They fail from too little follow-through.

You don’t need another brainstorm. You need:
👉 Clear priorities
👉 Fast feedback loops
👉 Relentless execution

Do the work.
Then talk about it.

Your Shopping Ads don’t show everywhere by default.

Many CSS providers skip the Google opt-ins required for:

👉 “Shopping Ads beyond general search”
👉 “Shopping Ads outside of Europe”

adstrong has all opt-ins, activated by default.

𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 = 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀.

Don’t let your provider’s shortcuts limit your growth.

You don’t need a full reset. Just small wins.

👉 15 more mins of sleep
👉 A quick walk after lunch
👉 More hydration
👉 5 minutes of breathwork

1% better every day compounds fast.

And yes... it’s all trackable.
That’s the edge.
