Great stuff: - Brief. Respect people's time, and take a stand. - Tailored, to solopreneur. It's tempting to be drawn into building beautiful tech, chasing resume skills, or building domain experience in crap work. Putting yourself on the hook of your own decision-making builds character. - Refined: it's easy to go from bad to good (just smooth out the pain points). It's very hard to go from good (happy but free customers) to better (paying customers), because you're trading lots of pain for benefits. - Timely: those are the virtues of 2023, of contraction (outside AI-mania), where you control your destiny as a solopreneur. If it starts raining money again, it might not be the right approach. However, the most common measure of leadership is a success pattern in ... leadership. People can take solopreneur experience as fitting for product management and not much else. To show leadership, you have to demonstrate decision-making under stress, where you identified the key factors and how to change them. That's a different post, one that shows how you sift through noise, excitement, and gaps to find the difference that makes a difference, and prosecute that. It's possible solopreneurs can get rich, but more often success means finding partners, get attention or getting bought, or just proving yourself - to yourself and perhaps others. Or, if you're really lucky, you can make a difference.
