You're in theSome Traction Stage

You're not a maybe anymore. But you're not a machine either.

This Stage Defined

"Some traction" means you're past the early validation fog. You've shipped. You've got customers. People are paying or sticking or coming back. It's real.

But it's not repeatable. Not yet. You're not scaling systems, you're scaling yourself. Or worse: juggling chaos and calling it traction.

What Founders Are Generally Experiencing

You're saying "yes" to too many things because you haven't nailed how to say "no."

You're doing founder-led everything: sales, support, product, vision.

You feel overwhelmed, but weirdly guilty about it, because it's working.

Your team is maxed out but adding headcount feels risky.

You're drowning in tools, messages, docs, channels, threads.
