Starter Story - the simple technique that saved my biz

Read time: 1 min. 07 sec.

Be honest: How distracted do you feel right now?

Slack pings, 𝕏 doom scrolling, iPhone buzzing...

We live in a world designed to steal our focus.

And this sh*t is getting worse every day.

Don't believe me?

Meta (Facebook) employs 40,000 ENGINEERS, many of them who's sole job is to get you hooked in an endless dopamine cycle.

Do you think you can outsmart 40K of the world's smartest engineers?

Nope. Never gonna happen.

But... there are things you can do.

And when I was starting out, I was really struggling with this.

I kept asking myself:

"What are actually successful founders doing to stay focused?"

And that was when I found something that changed everything:

It's called the Pomodoro technique:

How does it work? That doesn't matter.

(you're smart, you can look it up!)

What's wayyy more important is how I found this technique.

I found this by studying people that were a few steps ahead of me (successful founders) who already solved this problem.

Specifically, I read a ton of case studies and this "pomodoro technique" kept coming up, over and over.

Hmmm, there must be something to it.

So I tried it.

It worked like f*ing magic.

But... everyone's different. Maybe this works for you, maybe it doesn't. And that's OK.

What's way more important is that I was (1) able to identify my own problem and (2) then able to go searching for solutions and (3) see if it would work for me.

This one technique... it potentially saved me YEARS of time.

It enabled me to be successful faster, and I was able to quit my job within 365 days of starting Starter Story.

Why? Because I learned to learn.

I did this over and over, with lots of different things. Productivity strategies. Growth tactics. The list goes on...

I (1) identified my own problem and (2) went searching for solutions and (3) tried them out.

Sure, not everything worked for me, but that's the point.

And that’s the power of Starter Story — surround yourself with the wisdom of 4,000+ founders.
