There’s no one-size-fits-all blueprint for building a business—but that doesn’t mean you have to wing it.

This guide was created from two years of conversations on Mimir—and in collaboration with Heather Sell, founder of Autistically yours—to help early-stage founders take action with clarity.

Inside, you’ll find hard-won insights, smart strategies, and real-world examples to help you focus your time, money, and energy on what actually moves the needle.
