Expert Advice

Sure, Startups get more opportunities to grow and funding offers to expand. But you can’t stay in this phase forever.

How many times has your competition kept you up at night? A new feature here, seed funding there, maybe you’ve even lost a customer or two – but how much of a threat are they, really?

As said many times, don’t bring your work problems home the same way you can’t let your personal issues affect your work performance. You can’t deal with issues from both ends because it's unhealthy.

In most cases, Founders find happiness when they feel safe, when their efforts are validated, and when people appreciate their accomplishments. It doesn’t require much, yet the effort put forth to achieve happiness is basically blood, sweat, tears, and years of hard work.

What happens when funding is scarce? In the world of Startups and the struggles of keeping your business running, the fight is for you not to win. It’s more of a fight for you not to lose!

Most people focus on hiring more people, settling in a bigger office, or getting additional funding as a form of success. But for most Founders, at the early stages of their business, it’s all about taking away liabilities one at a time.

At the early stages of a startup, Founders often seek to partner with a co-founder in the hopes of growing the company. But what Founders don’t realize is that it may be too early to look for a partner, or even too risky.

The biggest fear Founders have is what happens to the business when they take a much needed break. But guess what? With the right people in place, more than half of a Founder’s work can be done by someone else.
