Numbers might make some of us uncomfortable, but they're the lifeblood of any business. Embrace that growth mindset, devour knowledge like a startup buffet, and learn from your wins and losses. One thing I really love about the startup world is that learning never stops. It's time to ditch the "idea-only" mindset and embrace execution like a boss! Set priorities, manage your time like a productivity wizard, and build a dream team that crushes it. It's like putting on a superhero cape and saving your startup from potential disaster. Be proactive - identify, assess, and tackle those risks head-on. Yeah, startups are risky beasts, but that doesn't mean we let them run wild. Be a critical thinking ninja and watch your decisions soar! Challenge assumptions, ask the tough questions, and really understand your market, customers, and competition.

If the founder cannot sell it, how can a sales rep do itĤ. If the founder isn't leading sales, they will miss too muchģ. No one will tell the story like a founder doesĢ. I see founders make the mistake of trying to outsource salesīut it is the most important function of the whole businessġ. No client meetings when I can only meet less than two clients.Īnyone with me or shall we all ruin the planet for our kids because we're lazy and selfish?įounders are sales people whether they believe it or notĭoesn't matter if have previous sales experience Three veggie meals a week (that will be hard) No use of diesel car on any journey less than 250 miles. I don't have all of the answers but having seen yet another flood, this is my stance. When are we going to truly love our future generations in the way we tell them we do? Surely, it's go to be now and we must stop be so ridiculously selfish. We have food in our fridges with ridiculous carbon footprints (grapes flown in on a plane). ![]() We buy things from Amazon and someone in a van delivers a tiny parcel that we could have waited for but we want it now. We have cars with combustion engines we just don't need. We're still going on multiple overseas holidays a year. 99% of people reading and skipping past this post. Ever do something and think, 'I knew that was happening and yet I still did nothing.' You don't do anything, wish you had and then wonder why you didn't take action? ![]()
