Happy New Year!
For most people, progress tends to follow a straight line. You show up, you do the work, and maybe you get a 5 to 10 percent raise.
The next year looks similar because it’s steady and predictable, and sometimes that feels safe.
Entrepreneurship works differently.
When you’re building a product, you’re not limited to that slow, linear path.
You’re working on something where effort compounds, and where long stretches of slow progress can suddenly turn into real acceleration.
Building and launching a new product is one of the few places where exponential growth is truly possible.
It doesn’t happen automatically, and it isn’t guaranteed. But the potential is much greater than the safer path most people stay on.
And that’s a big part of why life as an entrepreneur feels so much more exciting.
If you think ahead to next December, what would need to happen for you to say this year really moved your product forward?
No pressure to reply. Just something to think about while the year’s still fresh.
