Wednesday Edition: Daily Stand Up!

Hump day hustle!

Why?

That extra nudge of accountability to achieve even a small step on your IH journey each day.

To join in:

01 Share your epic (a big chunk of work with a meaty objective) you'd like to complete by the end of April.

02 Share what you accomplished yesterday.

03 Share what you commit to accomplishing today.

04 Comment on at least one fellow hacker's progress and give them an IH Point for their check in.

Optional:

05 Share your Work In Progress to underscore your accomplishments.

Then tune in the tomorrow to share how you did on your own tasks!

      Yup, it's a slog, but getting help to make it not so.

      Good luck on a speedy reply w/ your customer feedback!

      (Laughing!) Epiphanies seem to abound this week! I'll show you mine if you show me yours!

      Looking forward to the report re user feedback today!

        OK lol! I emailed you :)

    By end of 2019:
    100 (paying) customers

    By end of April:
    15 (non-paying) users is complete -- we hit 16 yesterday

    Yesterday:
    Cold emailing
    Interviewed, reinterviewed and got rejected from YC

    Today:
    Some soul-searching, figuring out next steps. Turns out you maybe SHOULD determine demand before building the thing. So, we're going to reach out to folks and basically ask them why they're NOT interested in saving 60% on their cloud bill, and what we could be doing better.

    Kudos: @Harlem for her customer!
