Product & Startup Builder

Why not write a book?

Added on by Chris Saad.

A lot of people have asked why I don’t create some kind of courseware or book about startups, growth and/or product.

Of course I have my newsletter and my consultingconvos posts on social media. But ultimately my perspective is that educational content is not the constraint for successful companies today. There’s plenty of content on these subjects out there already. A lot of it for free.

The constraint for successful companies is experienced operators with “wisdom” that can participate in day-to-day decision making.

My definition of wisdom is knowing when to apply the right approach in the right context at the right time. Wisdom also requires consistency over time (i.e the decipline to avoid strategy drift).

Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to scale this yet.
