What did I get done this week
Bootstrapped startup founder in late 20s
- Deployed a ML model with 92% accuracy primarily because we have labelled data.
- Send a renewal proposal to our highest paid customer to triple the ACV. Stressing if they might not be renewing it altogether.
- Explored 2 new product use cases. Hypothesis holds true but some more digging is required.
- Total 5-6 customer conversations, less IMO, should be more.
- Raised invoices, set-up gcp, did CS all along and coded some random shit.
P.s. A non engineer grad
Personal front
- Played badminton 3/5 days, not great IMO
- Became a therapist to 3 friends out of which 1 cried. Still dunno why he cried, rest 1 had resigned and came straight to chat. Another one is ranting for a while now.
- Amazing mental health. Touch wood, some random anxiety busts, super short lived and easy to navigate.
All in all, I could have done more, and I should be doing more.
A lot of misses as well.

As a person who always wanted to explore entrepreneurship in 20s, I was worried about my safety net and focused on other kinds of grind. May I know, what's your safety net?
2 years of safety net in liquid savings plus a couple of more years in non liquid.
We are also paying ourselves nominal salaries as well
