<p>I continue to hit a wall (or a <strong>Chasm </strong>as I am calling it now)</p><p>While trying to build/grow/start and juggling with everything that it entails to <strong>manage several business at a time, with clients, deliveries, and progress to be made</strong>... And that nagging feeling that despite working 12-hour days, I'm barely moving the needle on growth and achieving results. Yes, I see things happening, things moving, things getting done. But, thats not the same as achieving success, far from it...</p><p>This is the concept or wall that&nbsp; I've been trying to name for months. That frustrating gap between grinding hard as a solopreneur and actually building a business that can grow beyond my personal bandwidth.</p><h3>I have gone with: "Entrepreneurial Chasm"</h3><p>The brutal reality I'm facing? Working harder isn't the answer. I can't hustle my way across this divide.</p><p>Every entrepreneur I admire went through this exact phase. They all hit this same wall where doing everything yourself becomes the very thing holding you back. It's not about effort – it's about evolution.</p><p>Right now, I'm knee-deep in this transition. My businesses are growing (or having optimistic metrics), but I'm the bottleneck. I have more ideas than hours. More opprtunities than capacity. And the solutions I need require resources I'm still building. I see the solutions, I see what is the strategic path ahead and what I need to do to get there. It is the chams that continues to show and I struggle to find the bridge to cross it.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>The Prioritization Framework That's Changing Everything</strong></h3><p><br>What's transforming my approach is a simple but powerful realization: not all tasks are created equal. Each hour I spend has dramatically different potential ROI depending on where I focus it.</p><p>I've started categorizing everything into three buckets:</p><ol><li><strong>Growth Drivers: </strong>Activities that directly generate revenue or expand reach. These might be sales calls, creating signature content, or developing new offerings. One hour here might generate $500-1000 in value.</li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));"><strong>Necessary Operations</strong>: Tasks that keep the business running but don't directly drive growth. Think bookkeeping, basic client management, and maintaining existing systems. These typically generate $50-100 per hour in value.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(18px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));"><strong>Low-Value Tasks:</strong> Administrative work, basic content updates, inbox management, and scheduling. These rarely generate more than $20-30 per hour in equivalent value.</span></li></ol><p>The chasm persists when we spend most of our time on the bottom two categories. We feel busy but make minimal progress on actual growth.</p><p>My uncomfortable truth? I was spending 70% of my time on tasks that generate the least value. No wonder I felt stuck.</p><blockquote><p>BUT, being real honest with myself, some of the low value and necessary operations tasks, also help me stay healthy and sane, I also enjoy creating social media post, reaching out to customers from my B2C businesses, or creating decks... Among many other small tasks that are part of the least valuable ones...</p></blockquote><h3>Accelerating Across the Chasm: Practical Steps</h3><p>What's becoming crystal clear is that crossing this chasm requires specific shifts:</p><p>I need margin to bring on help - even starting small. Last month I finally hired someone for 5 hours a week to handle my inbox and basic admin. Those 5 hours felt like oxygen, giving me space for three additional sales conversations that landed a new client.</p><p>I need to stop guessing and get serious about metrics. I've started tracking how I spend every hour for one week each month. The patterns are illuminating – and sometimes embarrassing. Time spent vs. return generated tells the real story of where my business is stuck.</p><p>Most importantly, I need to be honest about what I'm truly excellent at versus what I'm doing because "someone has to." Every hour spent on tasks outside my zone of genius is an hour not spent on growth. For me, client strategy work and content creation deliver 10x the results of anything else I do.</p><h3>Key Takeaways for Fellow Chasm-Crossers</h3><p>For anyone else in this phase, here's what's making the biggest difference:</p><p><strong>Start with ruthless time tracking</strong>. You can't optimize what you don't measure. Understanding exactly where your hours go is often shocking – and clarifying.</p><p><strong>Calculate your personal hourly value</strong>. What's the most revenue-generating activity you do? That sets your benchmark. Anything that generates significantly less should be first on your delegation list.</p><p><strong>Take small delegation steps</strong>. You don't need a full-time team immediately. Start with 5 hours of help on your most repetitive, low-value tasks. The mental space created often pays for itself immediately.</p><p><strong>Focus on systems, not just delegation.</strong> Document your processes as you go. The 15 minutes spent creating a simple checklist makes future delegation exponentially easier.</p><p><strong>Protect your growth-driving time fiercely. </strong>Block your calendar for the activities that directly drive revenue and growth. Everything else can get squeezed around these non-negotiable blocks.</p><p><strong>The question that keeps me up at night:</strong> How long does crossing this chasm take? Is it months of strategic focus or years of grinding before breakthrough?</p><p>I don't have that answer yet. But I'm committed to finding out this year.&nbsp;</p><p>This is the real work of entrepreneurship – not just starting a business, but building one that can thrive beyond your personal limitations.</p><p>I'd love to hear from others in this same phase: What's been your biggest challenge in crossing the solopreneur chasm? What small change has made the biggest difference?</p>

Cracking the Entrepreneurial Chasm: The Real Challenge of Building

<h3>Challenge #3: How to Handle the Ever-Increasing Workload of Entrepreneurship 🤹‍♂️</h3><p>As entrepreneurs, we thrive on creating, building, and launching—but as we scale, the workload can start to feel like it’s multiplying with each new venture. For me, running <strong>BAAH (Business As A Hobby)</strong> means dealing with more providers, social media accounts, websites, strategic conversations, and yes, more admin tasks.</p><p>It’s thrilling to see progress and growth, but let’s be real—it can also become overwhelming. 😅 (Also when the growth is not enought to be able to delegate...)</p><p>Right now, things are <em><strong>still</strong></em> under control. Projects are moving forward, and progress is being made across all fronts. But I’ve started asking myself an important question:</p><blockquote><p>When do I need to stop launching new ventures to maintain quality, avoid burnout, and keep enjoying the process?</p></blockquote><p>I’ve come to realize that it’s not just about starting more things—sometimes, it’s about managing what you’ve already built. And honestly, I’m looking forward to this new phase. It’s a shift from rapid launching to scaling with intention, and it’s one that I believe can be just as fulfilling as the initial hustle.</p><h3>The Scaling Dilemma: Execution vs. Expansion<br></h3><p>Every entrepreneur faces this dilemma at some point: Do you keep pushing for more, or do you focus on executing and scaling what’s already working? The answer depends on where you’re at in your journey, but here’s what I’ve found helpful:</p><ol><li><strong>BE OK with what you do:&nbsp;</strong>Know that there will be many different ways to do things and you choosing one or another is not wrong. Stick with it and know that is impossible to go ALL the ways. So you can check back and have a rationale that justified that specific actin plan.</li><li><strong>Assess the state of your current ventures</strong>: Are the businesses you’ve launched truly ready to scale? Or are they still in the phase of finding product-market fit? If it’s the latter, it might be worth holding off on new projects and doubling down on the ones that need attention.</li><li><strong>Understand your capacity</strong>: There’s only so much bandwidth you can stretch. If you’re constantly feeling overwhelmed, it’s a sign that you might be spreading yourself too thin. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing the business itself—burnout doesn’t help anyone, especially not your yourself 😅.</li><li>Look for ways to automate and optimize: This is where technology can be your best friend. From automating social media posts to setting up workflows for customer onboarding, there are so many tools available that can help reduce the manual workload. Think of it as freeing up your time for what truly matters—strategy, vision, and growth</li></ol><h3>What’s Worked for Me: Guiding Principles</h3><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));" data-mce-style="font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-weight: inherit; font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity));">In my journey with BAAH, a few key principles have kept me grounded and productive, even as the workload has grown. These principles can apply to any entrepreneur looking to scale while keeping their sanity intact:</span></p><ul><li>Execution is key: It’s easy to get caught up in ideas, but I’m a firm believer that success comes down to how well you execute. You don’t need to launch a perfect product right away—iterate as you go and refine over time.</li><li>Attitude matters: A good attitude won’t reduce your workload, but it does make it easier to handle. Staying positive, even in the face of challenges, helps you maintain momentum and keeps you from burning out.</li><li>Optimism fuels progress: There will always be obstacles, but maintaining an optimistic mindset is essential. If you view problems as opportunities to learn, you’ll be more resilient and adaptive to change.</li><li>Simplify, automate, optimize: These three words are my productivity mantra. By simplifying your processes, automating repetitive tasks, and constantly optimizing your workflows, you create more space to focus on growth rather than getting stuck in the daily grind.</li></ul><h3>Shifting Gears: Moving From Launching to Managing</h3><p><span style="background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity)); font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); font-weight: inherit;" data-mce-style="background-color: rgba(249,250,251,var(--tw-bg-opacity)); font-family: inherit; font-size: calc(16px * var(--body-fontSize, 1)); font-style: var(--body-fontStyle, normal); font-weight: inherit;">I’m at the point where I will need shifting from launching new ventures to nurturing and scaling the ones I’ve already started. This transition isn’t just necessary—it’s an exciting new challenge. Here’s why this phase can be equally rewarding:</span></p><ul><li>Scaling sustainably: It’s one thing to launch a business quickly, but scaling it sustainably is where long-term success lies. Now’s the time to focus on growing what works—building systems, optimizing operations, and ensuring that the foundation is solid before expanding further.</li><li>Enjoying the process: By pausing to focus on what you’ve already built, you allow yourself to enjoy the fruits of your labor. It’s easy to get caught up in the “what’s next?” mindset, but there’s value in stepping back and appreciating the progress you’ve made.</li><li>Building a legacy: As entrepreneurs, we often focus on the next big idea. But the businesses that stand the test of time are those that are nurtured, optimized, and allowed to grow. This is where legacy is built—not just through creation, but through consistent and thoughtful management.</li></ul><h3>How to Avoid Burnout and Scale with Joy</h3><p>Now, the big question: How do you manage it all without burning out?</p><p>Here’s what’s worked for me:</p><ol><li>Delegate: You can’t do it all yourself. Whether it’s hiring freelancers, building a team, or outsourcing parts of the business, delegation is key to maintaining sanity. Focus on what you do best and let others handle the rest.</li><li>Batch your work: Instead of jumping between tasks, I’ve found it helpful to batch similar tasks together. For instance, I’ll dedicate one day to content creation and another to strategy sessions. This helps me stay focused and reduces the mental load of constantly switching gears.</li><li>Stay connected: Entrepreneurship can feel lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. Stay connected with fellow entrepreneurs, mentors, and your network. Sharing experiences and learning from others is one of the best ways to stay motivated and inspired.<br>&nbsp;<h3>Conclusion: We’re in This Together</h3></li></ol><p>At the end of the day, entrepreneurship is a journey that comes with its highs and lows. By focusing on execution, maintaining a positive attitude, and finding ways to optimize your workload, you can continue scaling your business without losing the joy that got you started in the first place.</p><blockquote><p>Let’s share our experiences and support one another—we’re all in this together. 🫶🙌&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p><br></p>

Challenge #3: Increasing workload management

<h2>Why Execution Matters More Than Ideas</h2><p>We’ve all been there—caught up in the excitement of a brilliant idea, that lightbulb moment where everything seems possible. But here’s the truth: ideas are just the starting point. The real work, the real magic, happens in execution.</p><p>Now, don’t get me wrong. Ideas are powerful. They spark conversations, inspire innovations, and drive change. But without action, they remain just that—ideas. It’s the execution that turns those dreams into something real, tangible, and impactful.</p><figure id="figure-tvqqhyqobbm0qrtu3q"><img id="tvqqhyqobbm0qrtu3q" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/23gwdPfdYv2qxj2Lk8MguVLsDKXHCJ0JMlRr7f7tSU3jNEYepZ33GCUczd5JMsaL.jpg" alt="business meeting" title="business meeting" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="null" data-positionY="null" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>Execution is Where the Results Live</h3><p>I’ve always been a firm believer in focusing my energy on execution. Sure, the ideation stage is exciting. But the results? They’re found in the doing, not the thinking. Taking that concept off your secret corner, putting it out into the world, and shaping it through action—that’s where success lies.</p><p>Whether you’re launching a business, spearheading a project, or simply pursuing a personal goal, it’s the action that moves the needle. Great ideas are common; great execution is rare. And that’s the edge that makes all the difference.</p><h3>It’s Not Just for Entrepreneurs<br></h3><p>This isn’t just about starting a company or being an entrepreneur. Execution matters in every aspect of life: your career, personal projects, or any path you’re on. Whether it’s finally starting that side hustle, pursuing a new skill, or even just implementing changes in your daily routine—action is key.</p><p>The problem is, too many people keep their ideas locked away, afraid someone else might steal them. My advice? Share your ideas with your friends, your network, your community. Don’t be afraid to put them out there. Most likely, it will only help you refine them, gain new perspectives, and get the motivation you need to start executing.</p><figure id="figure-s9ll9fu89mm0qrtx8e"><img id="s9ll9fu89mm0qrtx8e" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1580428354768-03a028646bc8?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxwcm9ncmVzc3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MjU2MzA4MjZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="teamwork project" title="teamwork project" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1580428354768-03a028646bc8?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxwcm9ncmVzc3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MjU2MzA4MjZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Fear of someone taking your idea? Let It Go</h3><p>One of the biggest barriers to execution is the fear of someone else running with your idea. The reality? Ideas are everywhere, and chances are, someone else has thought of something similar already. The difference is in who acts on it. Don’t let the fear of copycats hold you back. If anything, sharing your ideas can open doors, spark collaborations, and help you refine your vision.</p><p>At the end of the day, it’s not about who thought of it first—it’s about who gets it done.</p><blockquote><p>&nbsp;And even after you start, bigger players can come and do exactly the same... so focus on doing it as good as possible</p></blockquote><h3>My School of Thought: Share, Execute, and Learn</h3><p>I come from the school of sharing. Discuss your ideas openly, gather feedback, and most importantly, act. Execution isn’t just about success; it’s about learning, evolving, and moving forward. The process itself is invaluable, teaching you more than any amount of planning ever could.</p><p>So, here’s my challenge to you: Take that idea off the shelf, share it, and start building. Don’t just dream it—do it. Because in the end, the greatest idea in the world means nothing without the hustle to make it happen.</p><figure id="figure-xi2jj3wvyim0qru0eb"><img id="xi2jj3wvyim0qru0eb" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1522071820081-009f0129c71c?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxCdXNpbmVzcyUyMENvbnN1bHRpbmd8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzI1NjMwNzkwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="group of people using laptop computer" title="group of people using laptop computer" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1522071820081-009f0129c71c?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxfHxCdXNpbmVzcyUyMENvbnN1bHRpbmd8ZW58MHx8fHwxNzI1NjMwNzkwfDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>Ideas are the seeds of innovation</p>

Execution Over Ideas: Why Doing Beats Dreaming Every Time

<p>Looking at new AI tools and things to play with, I stumble upon <a data-mce-href="https://labs.google/gentype" href="https://labs.google/gentype" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Google Labs’ GenType</a>—a tool that lets you create fonts based on just about anything you describe—I knew I had to give it a go.</p><blockquote><p>Naturally, I wanted to try something close to what I’m currently working on. Since we’re launching our matcha tea business in August, I thought, why not create a font inspired by matcha tea itself? 🍵</p></blockquote><h3>The Experiment: What Does Matcha Look Like in a Font?</h3><p>So, I fed GenType a description of matcha—its smooth, earthy vibes, that calming green color, and the whole peaceful experience of sipping on this amazing tea.

Playing with AI: Creating a Matcha-Inspired Font UsingGenType

<h2>AI for YOU: Your New Best Friend in the Digital Age<br></h2><p>AI isn’t just for tech geeks and big corporations anymore—it’s for everyone. If you’re in business, chances are you need AI, and trust me, it’s about time you start using it. You might be thinking, “What do I even use it for?” Well, let me break it down for you with a few quick and easy wins that can benefit anyone, regardless of your job or role.</p><p>As AI continues to advance at a breakneck pace, I’m finding more and more ways to incorporate it into everyday tasks. The possibilities are expanding, but let’s start with some simple, no-brainer applications that you can dive into right now.</p><h3>1. AI-Powered Websites: Build Fast, Look Sharp<br></h3><p>If you’ve ever struggled with getting a website up and running, AI is about to make your life a whole lot easier. AI website builders are the new MVPs, allowing you to create slick, professional-looking sites in no time, without needing to write a single line of code. All you need is the ability to write, drag, and drop.</p><p>Whether you’re showcasing your business, your personal brand, or even your latest side hustle, AI has got your back. I used it to create the baah.life website. Sure, it might not be the best website in the world (I’m no web designer), but it’s up, it’s functional, and it looks pretty damn good if I do say so myself.&nbsp;</p><figure id="figure-4kdx113bd9lztmcktc"><img id="4kdx113bd9lztmcktc" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/d0R9dsk2PY9hRZqO0pIUAxzeXN0wUOfbRWzhD7qZylgMf0se2mse2x5tEBLyXy53.jpg" alt="person holding pencil near laptop computer" title="person holding pencil near laptop computer" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 50%;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="50%" data-positiony="50%" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/d0R9dsk2PY9hRZqO0pIUAxzeXN0wUOfbRWzhD7qZylgMf0se2mse2x5tEBLyXy53.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: 50% 50%;"></figure><h3>2. AI for Automating Processes: Streamline Everything</h3><p>Automation is the name of the game in today’s fast-paced world. With AI, you can easily set up automated processes that trigger actions based on specific conditions or logic flows. Imagine having tasks completed automatically—no more manual inputs or constant oversight.</p><p>I’ve been diving deep into this, spending hours learning how to set up these automated workflows. The potential here is massive, and honestly, it’s fascinating. You can automate everything from simple tasks like sending emails to more complex operations like managing customer interactions or processing orders. It’s a game-changer for productivity.</p><figure id="figure-u6v70fhsplztmi77k"><img id="u6v70fhsplztmi77k" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27FHBc9X6DV8UikPrjnwykFUyaHXopswm7hGJszhVDGncYkZSqOuTzo0gBTTWoY1.jpg" alt="black smartphone near person" title="black smartphone near person" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/27FHBc9X6DV8UikPrjnwykFUyaHXopswm7hGJszhVDGncYkZSqOuTzo0gBTTWoY1.jpg" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>3. AI in Content Creation: Content, Done Right<br></h3><p>Content creation used to be time-consuming, but not anymore. AI tools like ChatGPT (and others like Claude or Gemini) can whip up blog posts, social media content, newsletters, and more in a matter of minutes. The best part?

<p>Hey BAAH Fam!</p><p>Building a new business every month is a thrilling journey, but it's not without its challenges. On a <a data-mce-href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7201570968295649282" href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7201570968295649282" title="Challenge #1: Corporate Identity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous post on LinkedIn</a>, I wrote about the first one I encountered, about Corporate Identity.&nbsp;<br></p><p>Today, I wanted to speak about another hurdle I face, which is choosing the right business idea at the right time. Let's dive into this topic and explore the ups and downs of this crucial step.</p><p>In the last 10 days, while starting what was supposed to be a new business, I have been changing my mind constantly: Is it the right business or just the right time? I’ve modified the plan countless times. And by "THE PLAN," I mean simply deciding WHAT TO DO 😁.</p><figure id="figure-vbbg9diujclx0gaet7" class=""><iframe id="vbbg9diujclx0gaet7" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0dTxdxWtajc" class="w-full bg-gray-100 " style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/0dTxdxWtajc?feature=share" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0dTxdxWtajc" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><p>Identifying the right idea can be tricky. Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck at step zero, brainstorming endlessly and researching markets. The pressure to pick a winning idea can be intense, especially with tight timelines.</p><h3>Adapting to External Factors 🌍<br></h3><p>One of the biggest challenges is dealing with external factors. Market trends shift, consumer preferences change, and new competitors emerge. Staying adaptable is crucial. I need to be able to pivot quickly, whether it’s tweaking the business model, adjusting the product offering, or even scrapping an idea altogether and starting fresh.</p><h3>Flexibility in Decision Making 💡<br></h3><p>Another challenge is the need for flexibility in decision-making. As a solo entrepreneur, I must be agile, making quick decisions based on the latest data and feedback. This can be exhausting but is necessary for staying relevant and responsive. Sometimes, it feels like I'm running in circles, but it’s all part of the process.</p><h3>Dealing with Bottlenecks 😱<br></h3><p>External bottlenecks can slow down progress and push to another month further down the line the businesses roadmap I had initially set. Whether it's delays from suppliers, waiting for samples, or testing phases that take longer than expected, these hurdles can be frustrating. They require constant problem-solving and contingency planning. I’ve learned to expect the unexpected and always have a plan B (and sometimes a plan C and D!).</p><h3>Managing Third-Party Dependencies 🤝<br></h3><p>Relying on third parties adds another layer of complexity. From logistics partners, to friends, partners, or other members of the BAAH community that will play an important role in one or another business. Any hiccup on their end can impact my timeline. Building strong relationships and maintaining open communication with these partners is essential. It’s a balancing act to ensure everything runs smoothly and on time.<br></p><blockquote><p>Most importantly, those third-party and partners, don't have the same timelines than me, they have not put themselves into this battle of having to have set it up in less than 8 days 😅&nbsp;</p></blockquote><h3>Embracing Change and New Ideas 💡<br></h3><p>Sometimes, the challenge comes from within. I might have a change of mind or come up with a better idea halfway through the process. This can derail plans but also lead to more innovative solutions. Embracing these changes and being willing to pivot is crucial for growth and success.</p><p>In some cases, while speaking with a friend, colleague, partner, client... as much they can become a bottle-neck, as they can ignite a new idea that comes to the top of the list!</p><h3>Looking Back and Moving Forward<br></h3><p>So far, it’s the 4th of June, and I’ve spent one out of eight (1/8) days preparing and working on things that won’t happen (yet). It might feel inefficient, but these efforts are part of the process. Eventually, I hope to look back on those eight hours and see them making sense in the coming months. 🤞</p><h3>Engaging with the Community</h3><p>At BAAH, I believe in the power of community. Sharing my journey, the highs and lows, with you all keeps me grounded and motivated. I want to hear your stories, your ideas, and your experiences. Let’s learn and grow together, making each month’s business venture better than the last.</p><p>Building a business a month is no easy feat, but with resilience, creativity, and a dash of flexibility, I’m optimist that I will make it happen!<br><br>Thanks for being a part of my journey!</p><p>Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences with me in the <a data-mce-href="https://baah.life/#:~:text=baah_life-,Get%20in%20touch,-Do%20you%20have" href="https://baah.life/#:~:text=baah_life-,Get%20in%20touch,-Do%20you%20have" title="Contact me:" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contact section of the website</a>, of reach out to me on <a data-mce-href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/imunozbilbao" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/imunozbilbao" title="Inigo Munoz Bilbao LinkedIn Page" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LinkedIn!</a></p><p>Cheers,<br><br>Íñigo Muñoz Bilbao</p>
