Startup companies face a myriad of challenges every day; in order to deliver top quality solutions and products to your customers, make your company better with everyday decisions.
New Employees
“It’s hard to find good help these days.” Good talent comes at a premium and can be hard to attract as a startup company. With every new employee you hire, ensure they are better than you at something. If you can afford it, hire someone who is better than you at most things, or everything! With every brilliant new addition, the company’s institutional knowledge and skills multiply; your brainy employees will elevate the original company beyond what you thought was possible.
Mentors
You should always be wary of business advice, especially from someone who doesn't have skin in the game. To get good advice find a fellow entrepreneur who has emerged triumphant from the overwhelmingly dooming odds of the startup world. Learn from their mistakes and successes as much as you can. You may not be able to get Mark Zuckerberg to coach you, but there are plenty of experienced people who are waiting for you to ask for their help. Search LinkedIn for someone who shares a similar background and has the business experience to help guide you. Send them a short InMail, and you will be surprised at the responses you get.
