1-2-3: Like Tic-Tac-Toe

1 idea, 2 resources, and 3 tools for this week.

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to Ponderer's 12th edition.

Mother’s Day vibes, anyone? This week’s bite-sized newsletter is packed with imperfect gems of simplicity that hopefully make our moms proud.🤞 

Here are 1 idea to ponder, 2 resources to skill up, and 3 tools to try out.

Let’s do it.

PONDER THIS

The Big Idea

Imperfection in motion > Stagnant perfection.

Imperfect action refined over time is a license to start and keep going, despite not feeling ready.

We used to play the game of life and business like chess.

  • over-analyzing all possible moves.

  • complicating the process.

  • playing a finite game.

At Ponderer, we’re playing like tic-tac-toe.

  • shipping ideas publicly, unfiltered.

  • keeping it simple on purpose.

  • playing an infinite game.

Not to say one is better than the other. We have much to iterate, and so do you.

Because of imperfect action, Ponderer exists today. Perfection wouldn’t allow us to see the light of day.

That begs the question: 

What ideas or things have you created and kept in the dark because you think it is not perfect yet?

Ponderer was an idea we kept in the dark for two years.

Don’t make the same mistake.

Never decide for the market. Let the market decide.
