Rejection, Rhythm And Satellite Signals: Digest for Week Jun 16-22 2025
The Startup Of You - Weekly Digest
An Introduction:
I’ve been writing one short Note every day as part of a 14-day campaign —I set up for myself. It is part of a personal sprint to show up, share consistently, and help solopreneurs think more clearly in a noisy world.
This past week, I covered motivation, rejection, niche audiences, global trends, and the strange creative tension of “posting into silence.”
If you missed any Notes, here’s your quick digest with one-line takeaways.
1. The Day My Obsession with Metrics Almost Killed My Motivation
Views were flat. Sub count was stuck. I felt hollow — until I remembered:
Happiness = Results – Expectations.

2. Why You Should Build for 10 People Who Love You

3. Rejection Is Proof That You’re in the Arena
If you’re not getting rejected, you’re not stretching far enough.

4. Why Founders Should Watch the New Space Race (US–EU–India–China)

Final Word
This project is a live example of my teaching:
Create. Don’t wait. Share, even if no one claps (yet).
Thanks to all of you who’ve been reading, replying, and supporting.
