Problem-Solution-Fit
Many founders fall in love too early – with their solution. They build the product, design features, and fine-tune details, without really knowing for whom they are actually developing it. And why. That is why the most important advice right at the beginning is: Love the problem, not your solution. That is what this lesson is about.

About Lesson

With Energy Mapping, you reflect daily in a Good Work Journal on which activities give you energy or drain it. A simple and effective tool for this is the Good Work Journal, in which you regularly note:

  • what you have learned
  • what you have initiated
  • and whom you have helped

over time, you will begin to recognize patterns. This daily reflection not only strengthens your self-awareness, it also motivates you to initiate small changes that can have a big impact.

In this section, you will find your personal Good Work Journal available as a downloadable file. We will not cover it further in the seminar, and it is not a mandatory part of the preparation. Instead, it is an optional resource you can use now or at a later stage of your entrepreneurial journey.

How to use the journal:

  1. Use it on five consecutive working days – ideally a full week.
  2. Take 2–3 minutes each day to answer the three questions.
  3. At the end of the week, review your entries: What gave you energy?
    Which activities felt meaningful? What would you like to change?
    Derive concrete next steps from your reflections.

A small exercise, a big impact – just give it a try!
