The text is an excerpt from Noah Kagan’s book, Million Dollar Weekend, which is a guide to starting and growing a business quickly. Kagan draws on his own experiences, including his time at Facebook and founding AppSumo, to share a set of principles and methods. The book is structured around a three-part approach: Start It, Grow It and Make Money While You Sleep. Kagan argues that success in entrepreneurship comes from acting first and thinking about how to solve problems later, not the other way around. He emphasises the importance of building an audience through free content, converting them into customers with email marketing and prioritising your time to achieve your goals. The book also stresses the importance of embracing rejection as a key part of the learning process. Kagan encourages readers to validate their business ideas by getting paid and use a system of marketing experiments to identify what works for them. Finally, he advocates for building a community of like-minded entrepreneurs to help you stay motivated and accountable.
