Such a great read for startup founders, as much as established leaders and executives πŸ™

#1 cause of startup failure? Team

#2 cause of startup failure? Poor Marketing

And as I read this, particularly #7, I can see how that market led skillet of an accomplished marketer, is what's missing in much of this.

Your own team is your market too.

Marketing != Customers!!! It's the work of the market; and that includes hiring, internal feedback, and red flags from any corner.

Amazingly, finally thanks to AI, we're seeing the world wake uptm what used to be the case, great leaders are great marketers.
