What does your typical day look like as a business founder?
What does your typical day look like as a business founder?
Is it something like this? 👇
6am: Wake up (you’ve been told that an early start is better if you want to be productive.)
7am-8am: Wander around in a daze as you try to work out which one of your 10x to-dos you should tackle first. Oh, and find time to eat something.
9am: Start the day. First up: solving a product problem you put to the side yesterday.
10am-12pm: You get distracted by one message and suddenly lose your entire morning to emails.
1pm: Finally getting back to the problem you wanted to solve initially.
3pm: Argh, you found an issue in your financial forecast spreadsheet. Time to find an Excel video on YouTube to help you solve it.
4pm: Meeting with [investor/consultant/mentor]
5pm: Remember you forgot to have lunch. Never mind. Start work on some social media posts.
6pm: That 6am start is hitting you now. Scribble a to-do list for the next day and prepare to do it all again.
You know what’s not included in your timetable? Growing your business.
It’s tough when you’re busy putting fires out left-right-and-centre and being the only spokesperson for your brand.
But you need to give yourself permission to take time to focus on long-term strategy.

Building a business is easier when you don’t do it alone.
