ZERO WASTE 🚫
Zero Waste is the lead time blog for digital service providers who want to achieve great things with limited resources. Here we share strategies, tools and tactics for bootstrapping entrepreneurs who want to get more out of their business.

Avoid the commoditization trap!
If customers only decide based on price, your offer has become a commodity. This is how you find your way back to real value with positioning.


Standardization – a step towards scalability
Less chaos, more structure: how standardization makes your agency business more efficient, scalable and productive – with the help of Leadtime.


Find your customers' pain points.
The best SaaS ideas don't come from a quiet room, but from unresolved customer problems. This is how you discover your profitable niche.


Why you shouldn't fulfill your customers' every wish
Individual customer requests don't have to lead to chaos: with modularization, you create a scalable product without constantly having to make changes


Lean Thinking: Doing more with less
Without investors, every move counts. How lean thinking helps bootstrapped companies to work more efficiently – with system, focus and clarity


Why not every task adds value
Busy but not getting anything done? Lean shows you what really matters – with value definition, clear processes and smart software support.


Why you need time tracking
Time tracking is not a control tool, but the key to growth, fairness and efficiency. 5 reasons why you should start now


Learn, build, scale – the path to your own product
The path to a niche is a process. Those who still work broadly as an agency today can gradually develop into a scalable product provider.


A faster route to self-employment with bootstrapping.
