Entrepreneurship Handbook Weekly Wrapup for 4/7/2025

This week’s theme? Tough love—for founders, tech workers, and anyone still clinging to outdated playbooks.

From ghost job listings to $25K mistakes founders don’t notice until year two, these reads expose the quiet traps killing creativity, momentum, and profitability. If you’re trying to build smarter, not just louder, these 7 articles might save you from your next expensive mistake.

That’s a Wrap—Now Back to Building
The road to traction is already tough—don’t let false signals, forgotten basics, or outdated advice make it tougher. This week’s stories are a reminder that no amount of momentum or ambition can fix what’s broken at the foundation.

We’ll be back next week with more straight-shooting takes from founders in the trenches. Until then, question your assumptions. Tighten your ops. And don’t let your startup become another well-branded money pit.
