#25 - Focus and make good decisions
This week I started a position working for an Insurance company in order to gain more experience getting closer to Data. It is going to equip me with valuable experience and allow me to be the voice of my analysis. I will use these skills to continue to work with startups.
When smart people are in a room and potentially battling imposter syndrome, data won’t lie to you and it allows you to know what to focus on next. They say Product people are ‘truth seekers’ and I think that’s what led me towards it if I’m honest.
In the early stages of a small company, regularly validating your hypothesis is important and the discipline of interrogating data helps us to ask the right questions.
