Notes

  • [Sunday, 29 December] Strategic priority: Entire team focuses exclusively on Rep Engine for first month (minimum). Steve Jobs philosophy - one thing at a time. Product, bugs, sales, onboarding, implementation - everything gets dialled in before anything else.
  • [Sunday, 29 December] Dan expected to use agency and critical thinking, not just take tasks. Everyone thinks like an owner.
