Massive Growth or Profitable - Those Are the Options
January 22, 2026
The new World of AI has changed investor expectations for startups and that is making survival more and more binary.
Today, we’re talking about being productive in December. The holiday season is challenging when it comes to getting things done, so what’s realistic for the last month of the year?
You’re still a startup, so we need to make progress. Prioritize the achievable annual goals, planning around just 2 full work weeks this month.
Starting the new year strong means planning ahead now. Set your annual goals — then break them down into quarterly and monthly goals. Building the list of potential goals and getting consensus across the team, will take time, so you need to start now to be ready for January.
From Dec 18 until New Year, the vast majority of the tech world will be offline. It’s ok for you to take time as well. As a founder, looking after yourself is part of your job.
Best of luck out there.
