The Entrepreneur Handbook - What's your feedback about this idea?

Hi,

I would like to share an idea to see if Indie Hackers could be interested in such a product.

I am a big fan of Filofax paper organizers. I tested a lot of productivity tools (Kanban, Calendar, Notion, etc.), but I always came back to my Filofax, to the point where I use it to manage my whole life. I would be lost without it!

Currently, I have these sections in my filofax:

  • Agenda
  • Tasks
  • Habit tracker / Wellness goals
  • Daily diary
  • Ideas / Projects

Everything has been bought online, without customization.

What is missing (to me) are Lean Canvas sheets as I often use this methodology to deep-dive into new ideas.

And the idea popped: an "entrepreneur handbook" - based on the Filofax system with customized sheets - might interest other persons.

The cover would be customized to show elegantly "My Entrepreneur Handbook" (golden letters on a black leather cover for example). And I will add, in addition to the above sections:

  • Lean Canvas sheets

  • Main achievements sheets

  • Startup indicators to write the various KPIs on a weekly basis

  • Timesheets to track time

  • Some memos about the terms used for SaaS businesses, usual formulas, etc.

Potentially in the cover, inside the handbook:

  • a small calculator
  • a pen (this is native in the official Filofax)
  • A small digital clock with "play / pause / reset" to track time

The main advantage for the buyer: you have to buy it once, then you just buy the refill papers. Based on the customization required, the selling price would be ~$70 or ~$80.

Do you think it is a viable idea, despite most of us being always in front of the screen?

My own behaviour: I like to organize my work outside the screen, otherwise I feel that reviewing my tasks is a task in itself 😇 This is why I would appreciate your feedback!

Thanks!
