The top 100 founder decisions - the 10 categories! Over the coming ~100 days, as I already shared last week, I will be talking about 100 decisions that founders make in this arduous journey. I needed some framework around which I document these 100 decisions, hence the intro post today around the 10 categories - all starting with a "P" to make things easier :) So these are the 10P categories into which these 100 decisions can be slotted! 1. Preparation - all the decisions that you take before becoming a founder 2. Philosophy - the values around which the company needs to be built 3. Purpose - the "why" and the customer for whom you are solving 4. Product - what you build, how you build it, and the tech decisions 5. Promotion - all things marketing, social, distribution, sales & PR 6. People - the category with the most # of decisions across the board 7. Process - the level of processes to draft into the company across stages 8. Planning - from strategy to money to metrics to everything in-between 9. Performance - how are you going to determine if you are moving ahead 10. Personal - while this is at the core of the journey, we take this category finally on all the personal decision points across this journey So here's to starting the new series "Top 100 Founder Decisions" with a post a day across these 10P categories! #top #100 #founder #decisions #startups #entrepreneurship
