Lists Every Entrepreneur Should Keep
We have so many experiences and come across so much information that I think its a good idea to keep a database of these things. Keeping lists of specific things is just a practice I’ve adopted that has been pretty helpful to me.
Typically my workflow is to write things pertinent to these lists down in a journal as soon as I encounter them. I have a folder on google docs where I keep spreadsheets of these things and add to them in batches from my journal when I have downtime. If you’re truly keeping this list up to date it can be pretty distracting to add as you go which is why I like to do it in batches. Sorry folks…no peaking
