I ranked 10 founder habits, and the one everyone brags about is a D. Networking events 4 nights a week? D tier. Real founders are at their desk shipping. If you treat conferences like your job, go back to your job. S tier is boring stuff: → Talking to customers every week. Every great pivot in my portfolio started with a customer conversation, not a strategy offsite. → Daily standup with your co-founder. Alignment compounds. Misalignment costs you months. A tier: monthly investor updates, especially when the numbers are ugly. The founders who only update during good months are the ones who don't get the next check. Straight F: hiring a fractional CMO before product-market fit. That's a $20K a month way to confirm you don't have product-market fit.
