Insights on Startup Success, Productivity Tools, and Embracing the Entrepreneurial Journey
Welcome to this week’s edition of Ctrl+Alt+Succeed!
Hello everyone,
This week, we’re diving into celebrating small wins, the perfect tunes for deep work, understanding why startups fail, and much more. Let’s jump in!
Weekly Highlights:
🎉 Celebrating Small Wins About a year ago, Andrea Ratzenberger, Kevin Sartori, and I launched the B2B SaaS Scaling Benchmark. Since then, it’s been downloaded 4,513 times and generated $3,529.47 with a “pay what you want” model. These small victories remind us of our impact and keep us motivated. Let’s make it a habit to celebrate small wins more often! For the one’s don’t know the B2B SaaS Scaling Benchmark, you can download it here.
