My First Million

The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.

Back to Beliefs

Mom and Pop beats Big Corporate

Evidence

Consumers increasingly prefer authentic, small-scale brands over polished corporate alternatives

Implication

Entrepreneurs should embrace scrappy, personal aesthetics rather than trying to appear large and professional

Counter Belief

Physical newsletter boxes should use USPS packaging and messy tape rather than professional branded boxes to maintain authentic feel
