The brand — the first 30 days

Most founders leave the brand for "later". Experience says later means never. So — from the start.

Why it matters

Because the customer notices it before you do. The brand is not a task you finish once; it is a habit that comes back every week.

  • One number, one owner
  • Once a week, in the same shape
  • A bad number is still a number — do not hide it

If there is nothing to show on Friday, the week did not happen.

How to do it

  1. Write the goal in one sentence
  2. Pick the number that measures it
  3. Try it for one week
  4. Show it on Friday
  5. Write down what changed
