Skydiving taught me a surprising truth: the second jump is the real test! 🪂

Knowing what's coming yet still taking that leap requires a blend of courage and confidence.

This perfectly parallels my entrepreneurial journey.

Today I am happy to announce my new venture

In endings, I discover new beginnings

As this year wraps up, I’m taking a moment to look back at everything that’s happened.

It’s been quite a year – one where I dared to close down my startup. It was tough but opened up new paths that I’m thankful for.

I’ve met amazing people this year. My circle has grown to include entrepreneurs and builders from all over the world, and these connections have made my life richer.

I’ve discovered my passion for starting something from the ground up. Building and creating – that’s what I’m excited about as I move forward.

Every week, I take some time to think about what went well and what I could do better. This has kept me focused and on track.

My family and friends have been incredible. Their support means the world to me and has opened up new chances to grow and learn.

Looking ahead, I can’t wait to share more about my journey and the new things I’m working on.

There’s so much I want to do, and I hope it’ll help and inspire others too.

Here’s to the year that’s been and the one that’s coming.

To new adventures, friendships, and discoveries.

————————————

P.S.: I know I haven't posted for almost a year. I recharged and will try to post more.

Love you and thank you for everything ❤️


Lessons I learned from my first failed startup 🤕

Last 8 months, I have been working tirelessly on my first startup, and I have finally reached a point where I feel confident enough to share my journey with all of you. There is nothing easy about starting a business, but it is an incredible experience.

Coming up with the initial idea to finally bring the product to market has been a rollercoaster ride. But through it all, I have learned much about myself and what it takes to be an entrepreneur.

I shared how and why I failed in my blog 👇

https://bohdandrozdov.me/how-i-failed-my-first-startup/


I have something to celebrate, guys. After a long wait, it finally happened.

I updated the brand style of my blog ✨ So I’ve collected articles that you did not read probably:

How to get the most out of content loops

Content is a tool that allows you to attract users, increase profits, and grow your business. This article discusses different types of content loops, why you should use them, and a step-by-step guide to creating a content loop.

Experiments and Hypotheses: How to Systematically Grow Your Business

What does experimenting mean in business? Why and how does it work? Let’s dive in, step by step.

Why it is important to educate your audience and how to do it

We’ll talk about how educational content works for different business models, how to create effective content, what market education is, and why you need it.

25 books for specialists in product and marketing roles

Here is a collection of literature that will help to boost your hard skills. Promotion, positioning, growth, analytics, research, and pre-product market fit exist.

Please take a look at my blog for ideas 🙂


Why do you need a mentor?

I met my first mentor during my first years in marketing; we worked together. In addition to guiding me, he helped realize how much I was worth. As a result, my salary increased by 2.5 times. It was a surprise for me!

He is one of the few people that I still listen to. The coolest part is that I also help him!

How a mentor can help:

- Understand what goes wrong in a career and how to fix it
- Evaluate weak and strong points to identify growth areas
- Plan ways to achieve goals: pay raise/promotion/job change
- Get rid of the illusions and go ahead as planned
- Avoid the mistakes that the mentor made once to speed up progress

I hope we'll get along and I can help to fulfill your dream. My current mentee was satisfied, at the least 😉

We'll match if you have about 2 years in marketing / you’re a founder.

The price is $300 for 2 one-hour-long meetings per month. The price will increase by 5% with each successive mentee.

Let's meet! Maybe I can help. A free 15-minute call.


A crisis of ideas?

A suitable community will take away your pain.

Enthusiasts from Humans in Growth gathered whole bunch of marketing communities and newsletters. I collected and systematized data and added a descriptions to each one in this article. Enjoy and share 🙂

So, let me take the mystery out and show you all the contents of my wallet

Spoiler — business expenses increased. Plus, I start to monitor sleep quality and more carefully track time.

I don't count how many books read anymore

To think in the strict category X books for Y weeks is useless, I suppose.

But now I want to read more and launch a cozy literature club! Purposes:
- help each other practice English
- learn new and grow

We can regulate the schedule, speed of reading, and frequency of meetings. To begin with, let’s meet in Discord next Thursday (3.11) at 17:00 pm in Lisbon, 19:00 in Kyiv.

The first book that we’ll discuss is The systems bible.

Entrance: $20. That’s a hard challenge. Not everyone will survive the finale. But who reaches the end I’ll return $10. Truants will lose their membership.

Text me if you’re interested @iambohdao

Guys, I am presenting to you (with a certain degree of trepidation) my Humans in Growth podcast. I’ll talk with the cool experts about… Growth, yeah.

My first guest is Justyna Ciecierska, Head of Growth at Beducated, growth mentor and lecturer. We discussed how to push and speed up your team and what to do with the impostor syndrome.

That piece of the podcast is about feedback. There are times you’re not sure that criticism is fair. Also, sometimes feedback can be painful. We discussed this.

You can listen to the whole episode in Anchor or watch it on YouTube.
