Welcome to episode 300 of The Remarkable SaaS Podcast.
Because this is a big milestone on the journey, I didn’t want to devote this podcast to one guest – instead, I got 23 B2B SaaS CEOs on the mic.
A big element of every single episode of the podcast is my question at the end of each episode.
What would be a Do or a Don’t that you’d like to share with other SaaS entrepreneurs?
And so, I’ve made a hand-picked selection of these Do’s & Don’ts from the last 100 podcast episodes
Let’s start with the Don’ts:
- Neta Meidav, CEO Vault Platform: Don’t take other entrepreneurs’ advice on face value.
- Melissa Kwan, CEO eWebinar: Don’t start a business that you hate, even if it has success.
- Emil Jimenez, CEO Mindbank AI: Don’t think about the money
- Aleks Gollu, CEO 11Sight: Don’t bother people will steal your idea
- Toni Hohlbein, CEO Growblocks: Don’t forget where you are in the process
- Sunny Han, CEO Fulcrum: Don’t allow comfort to take over
- Jon Ricketts, CEO Writerly: Don’t limit yourself in your thinking
- Patrick Woods, CEO Orbit: Don’t ignore yourself
- Charlotte Melkert, CEO Equalture: Don’t think you need to be in control of everything
- Antony Thomson, former CEO Loopin: Don’t bring new people on unless you’re 100% oversubscribed.
- Barrett King, Sr. Manager Global GTM Strategy, Partner Ecosystem Hubspot: Don’t use the sentence: I’m gonna build a partner program
- Christian Owens, CEO Paddle: Don’t malign yourself with having 2 different interpretations of what a good outcome looks like
And now over to the Do’s:
- Melissa Kwan, CEO eWebinar: Do create your own definition of success
- Amir Konigsberg, CEO Pragma: Do something that can be genuinely valuable for someone else
