02 Mar Your First 90 Days After Launch: What Every Entrepreneur Should Focus On
A No-Fluff Guide to Surviving (and Thriving) Post-Launch
You did it. You launched. You’re officially in business.
Now what?
The truth is—the first 90 days after you launch are make-or-break. This is where entrepreneurs either build momentum… or burn out.
Whether you just launched a product, opened your first LLC, or made your first sale, here’s what to focus on right now to turn that launch into a legacy.
🧭 1. Get Super Clear on Your Priorities
You can’t do everything at once—and you shouldn’t try.
In the first 90 days, your main goals are:
- Build consistency
- Learn from your customers
- Start generating revenue (even small wins count)
- Get feedback and improve fast
Ask yourself:
What are the top 3 results I need to focus on right now?
Write them down. Let those goals drive every decision.
👂 2. Listen to What the Market Is Telling You
Your business is a living thing—and customers will teach you how to grow it.
- Which offer are they responding to?
- Where are they dropping off?
- What questions do they keep asking?
- What language are they using?
Action Step: Set up a post-purchase email or a simple form asking:
“What made you buy?” or “What would you love to see next?”
🔄 3. Refine Your Offer(s)
After you launch, things get real. You may realize:
- Something is underpriced
- A feature is missing
- A service takes more time than you expected
- One offer outshines the others
That’s okay. It’s part of the process.
Don’t be afraid to:
- Adjust pricing
- Simplify or bundle your offers
- Retire what’s not working
Launching is the test. Adapting is the growth.
📣 4. Show Up Like Clockwork
Visibility is key. No one can buy from you if they don’t know you exist.
In your first 90 days:
- Post consistently (pick 1–2 platforms max)
- Share behind the scenes
- Answer common questions
- Show real results + testimonials
Pro Tip: You don’t need to go viral. You just need to stay visible.
💰 5. Follow the Money
If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make… anything.
Track what’s coming in, what’s going out, and where you’re wasting time or cash.
Use tools like:
- Wave (free)
- QuickBooks
- Notion or Google Sheets
Bonus Tip: Start separating your business and personal accounts now. You’ll thank yourself later.
🤝 6. Build Relationships, Not Just Sales
People > transactions. In the early stage, word of mouth and referrals are gold.
- Reply to every message
- Thank every customer
- Ask for reviews
- Celebrate early supporters
Connect > convert.
People remember how you made them feel—especially at the start.
🛠 7. Set Up Systems as You Go
Yes, you’re still small—but don’t act like it forever.
In your first 90 days, begin building light systems:
- Templates for emails or DMs
- Repeatable workflows for clients or shipping
- Checklists for common tasks
This saves your energy and preps you for scale.
🧠 8. Stay Mentally in the Game
You will doubt yourself. You will feel tired. You will wonder if it’s worth it.
Spoiler: It is.
Surround yourself with community, mentors, events (like The Fish Bowl Experience), and reminders that you’re not alone.
Affirm this:
“It’s okay to be new. It’s not okay to quit on myself.”
🎯 The First 90 Days Aren’t About Perfection—They’re About Momentum
If you stay focused, listen to your people, and keep building—day by day—you’ll be shocked where your business can be by month three.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to keep going.
