Getting over the hump
Let’s take some thing that is colloquial, commonly uttered, and even joked about for Wednesday being hump day… Because today is 30 tips Thursday. Today is were 2/3 the way to Saturday
Because it’s Thursday.
30 tips to get you over the hump in one diagram to save time. This is the energy effort curve.
You see we just compressed 30 to 35 tips into one graph. This one graph explains why people get stuck at zero dollars revenue.
This one graph explains why the majority of YCombinator startups end up with zero dollars in customer revenue. This doesn’t make me proud to report that the effort expended to do, “do things that don’t scale”, don’t get done
Obviously, I mean distribution does not get done.
Let’s recap how this diagram affects doing. Distribution work. It’s so obvious right in front of us that distribution work is up front and loaded up all on the front end.
After Tech founders, do this type of technical sales work, they deny that they ever had to, “do things that don’t scale (but have momentum)” #DTTDSBHM

Hi
In short, this diagram is also the reason why people don’t net work very well. By networking, I mean, taking a email or a cell phone and replying
Is this even a cold open?
If somebody gives you their number and you text them you’re now in the 80% of people that Are approaching the hump heck five more texts and you’re probably over the hump
Me?!
I can take 9 thank you cards and get myself over $1 million because my hump, my hump, my hump is as clear as my bump.
Because you see I am to the right of the activation energy
What activation energy
Activation energy is a concept that Stephen Zumdahl talked about
Once you add energy to a system, then energy comes out of a system.
So 9 thank you cards lowers the activation energy.
In the same way that a catalyst reduces the energy required, so does being thankful.
This is how to get yourself over the hump when you’re networking to try to make slightly more money
