Hey friends, welcome to the 2nd issue of my #5Weeks challenge.
Also welcoming new subscribers and buyers to my first product â 10K Digital Napkin.
Thanks for the early support and generous gesture!đ
Firstly since we have new subscribers, I'm going to start by setting up expectations for this newsletter.
You'll be getting 1+5+1 weekly updates every Friday, which started last week (15/7/2022).
- 1 for the kick-off, you can check it here.
- 5 is for the regular updates; consists of the Story link and the Product sales page link.
- 1 for my conclusion update. My reflections and what's next.
Hope that clears up everything.
This week we start off with First Story & Product that I've posted and launched this week, in case you missed it. Enjoy!
If you received this email from someone else, do consider subscribing, and youâll get a special gift.đ

Building a 10K team from scratch
I just joined a small company as their first No-Code Project Manager.
The company has been around for almost 3 years now. Itâs a small startup founded by a forty-something New Yorker who is now nomading in South East Asia⌠[cut]
âBut Leif, you said youâre building from scratch? Seems like you already have a team.â
Yes and no. Previously there was only ONE full-time employee in the company, which is the founder. The rest were freelancers and part-timers.
So itâs the right time to change⌠[cut]
The team members are already familiar with each other. They know their roles, itâs just a matter of organizing the teamwork.
As the new kid, I was able to start fresh with everyone. Free from all prejudices and favouritism.
Making the âgeneralistâ into the specialist⌠[cut]

10K Digital Napkin
A productivity framework that helps you focus on tasks that matter most. Suitable for freelancers/solopreneurs.
You can read great details here.
Why did I create this?
Iâve tried so many methods and love; GTD, Kanban, Sprint, etc, and I will still recommend them to everyone.
But if youâre someone like me, who has issues with burnouts, shiny-object syndrome, ADHD, etc, this is for you.
When can I get it?
I have the template ready, but I need to go through quality checks first.
I would suggest signing up to my "5 Stories, 5 Weeks" newsletter for the weekly updates.
Do you have discount offers for early supporters?
As this is part of my #5Weeks challenge, you'll get the other 4 micro products for free if you pay $15 $13 for one product.
But, for limited time only until 3rd August 2022.
