The average week, if not day, of a founding PMM.
I know what I’m doing
I have no idea what I’m doing
This makes sense
This makes zero sense
I’ve done this dozens of times
I’ve never done this before
That went great
That was awful
I feel good about this
I couldn’t feel worse
The nature of the role is that you wear a dozen different hats.
And you probably have experience wearing maybe half of them.
Accept the fact that you’re not going to know everything.
You’ll be a master at some things, okay at others, and a beginner at the rest.
Own your strengths and your weaknesses. So when it comes time to make your first hire, you’ll know exactly what skills to look for.
For now, ask for help when you need it and give yourself a break.
