Finish-of-12 months letter and why Entrepreneur’s Handbook is particularly related now greater than ever

Pricey Entrepreneur’s Handbook Group,

Like lots of you, I set objectives yearly, together with for Entrepreneur’s Handbook.

For this previous 12 months, the objectives the staff and I set for the publication have been the next:

1. Attain 275k followers
2. Obtain 5 million views throughout all properties
3. Launch the Entrepreneur’s Handbook Podcast and Group occasions packages
4. Publish a characteristic with Medium founder, Ev Williams
5. Create a Knowable course
6. Strengthen our partnership with Medium

I’m thrilled to report that we hit all of those, minus the follower rely purpose (Medium did a purge of nonactive accounts mid-year that adjusted our numbers), along with a shock initiative: launching Crypto Handbook.

None of this may have been potential with no robust group surrounding Entrepreneur’s Handbook, to whom I’m deeply grateful and wish to thank:

1. Editor Stephen Moore and podcast host and producer Amardeep Parmar, you’re two absolute powerhouses of fantastic pondering and clear communication who’ve helped form EH into what it’s immediately. Thanks each for the wonderful work.
2. Tony Stubblebine, Scott Lamb, and Medium for being nice companions and creating and defending a incredible platform on which to publish our content material.
3. Our readers. Thanks for persevering with to learn and take heed to Entrepreneur’s Handbook. Your suggestions and assist have been tremendous precious and encourage us to take care of the editorial high quality we’ve saved since we began eight years in the past.
4. Our writers. Thanks for partnering with Entrepreneur’s Handbook to publish your tales. It’s an honor to work with every of you and I really like studying your work. I stay up for studying extra from you in 2023.

Particular shoutout to a few of our common contributors and writers of our largest tales of the 12 months: Arthur Hayes, Rachel Greenberg, Aaron Dinin, PhD, Pete Sena, Joseph Mavericks, Al Anany, DC Palter, Michael Lim, Jon Brosio, Tim Denning.

Waiting for 2023, I’m enthusiastic about our progress, our area of interest, and our staff. Entrepreneur’s Handbook will proceed to be the primary publication on Medium to seek out inspirational tales with sensible takeaways for entrepreneurs.

We’ll proceed to develop our model surfaces and group engagement off of Medium however fortunately retain Medium as the house of our content material.

The startup area has taken an fascinating flip lately. The enterprise capital bubble has popped. Valuations are down. Funding is extremely scrutinized. Excessive rates of interest are shifting traders’ consideration away from dangerous startups and in direction of extra conventional investments. The recession is clamping down on budgets, inflicting everybody to tighten their grip on their wallets.

These are the precise situations for which Entrepreneur’s Handbook was created. It’s how we began. The Handbook publishes classes on the best way to begin a small enterprise, the best way to bootstrap, the best way to flip concepts into revenue, the best way to create MVPs and take them from zero to at least one.

If ever there was a time to learn and examine Entrepreneur’s Handbook, it’s this upcoming 12 months. It’s going to be a tricky 12 months, however I stay up for doubling down on our mission of being devoted to serving to entrepreneurs succeed it doesn’t matter what.

Let’s make it an awesome 12 months.
