Startup Tip #7: Don’t fake progress with busy work https://baremetrics.com

Deep in the minds of most founders is the fear of rejection.
Heck maybe it’s not even all that deep your mind.
Maybe it’s at the forefront and it keeps you up at night.
That’s normal.
It’s what you do to fix it that matters, though.
What happens is we trick ourselves into thinking that random pet project or networking event or conference or Twitter exchange is real, actual, tangible, needle-moving work.
It’s not work, it’s procrastination masked as work.
Real business progress happens with saying “no” to things, not “yes”.
What you choose to reject defines your growth.
Stop faking progress with busy work
