What Nobody Tells You About The First Stage Of An Empire

Become a beta tester for NomadKit CO! https://nomadkitco.beehiiv.com/ Stage one of building a tech startup isn't a montage. It's 80 hours a week, zero revenue, and un-learning every habit you picked up from having a boss. This is the receipt I wish I'd had before I started. In this video I'm breaking down what stage one actually looks like: building Beacon out of order, cosplaying CEO while being a C-suite of one, why loneliness is baked into the job, and the exact exit criteria I'm using to know when I've finally left this stage. If you're building something right now and nobody's clapping yet, come hang with the rest of us over in The Mess Hall. Link below. Drop your stage one confession in the comments, I want to read every single one.
