Your first 90 days don't build your business. They reveal what business you're actually in.

This episode of business series dives deep into the most critical window of entrepreneurship i.e. the first three months. This isn't your typical "startup checklist" episode. This is about the psychology, the patterns, and the diagnostic process that separates businesses that survive from those that don't.

What You'll Discover:

The Legitimacy Trap - Why spending weeks on branding is sabotaging your launch (and what to do instead)

Your First Customer as Diagnostic Tool - How to use early clients to discover the business you're ACTUALLY building, not the one you planned

The Planning Paradox - Why extensive planning creates dangerous attachment and how to balance direction with flexibility

Money Psychology - The two opposite pricing failures that destroy new businesses (and the framework that works)

Operational Minimalism - The only 3 systems you need in month one (everything else is distraction)

Learning Velocity Principle - How to convert uncertainty into knowledge faster than your competition

This episode is essential for:

• New entrepreneurs in their first 90 days
• People planning to start a business (don't launch until you hear this)
• Founders who feel stuck despite "doing everything right"
• Anyone who spent months planning but hasn't launched yet
• Business coaches and consultants who work with early-stage founders

What makes this different:No motivational fluff. No personal anecdotes. Just pattern recognition from analyzing hundreds of business launches what works, what fails, and why. Grounded in psychology, systems thinking, and lean startup methodology.

Core Insights:

• Why your first customer reveals the gap between assumptions and reality
• How "strong opinions, weakly held" keeps you adaptive in chaos
• Why underpricing isn't humility, it's self-sabotage disguised as virtue
• The difference between building infrastructure and building a business
• How to maximize learning velocity when everything is uncertain

Perfect for: First-time founders, serial entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, consultants transitioning from employment, anyone in the messy early stages of building something new.
