Prisha and Dishani were at a startup event. Prisha said, Look at all these people working nonstop. It feels like chaos. Dishani replied, Yes, it looks chaotic. But that’s the nature of a startup. Prisha asked, How do they manage? Dishani replied, In startups, every moment counts. The energy is high. Decisions are quick. Everyone wears multiple hats. Prisha said, So, it’s about adaptability? Dishani nodded, And passion. Everyone believes in a common goal. They navigate through uncertainty With sheer determination. Morale Startup life is about high energy, rapid decisions, and unwavering belief in a common goal. #startup

Well I promised this update last week but alas things got rather busy, so apologies on that front! Last week marked the last week of mine at tsf.tech, it's been a great nearly 7 and a half years but it was time to explore pastures new. I'd like to thank everyone both colleague and client over my time there, but I don't want to turn this into an Oscars speech. That being said I still have an itch to help startups bootstrap their way to success. With that being the case let me introduce you to my new venture: Startup Wingman! Anyone who's tried to get a venture off the ground knows how hard it is to do and the number of potholes that exist on the road to success. But new founders don't know that, and that's where Startup Wingman comes in. Focusing on what you need to not just have a minimum viable product, but a minimum viable business, I'd like to help founders get to where they want to be with a focus on bootstrapping to success. The website should be up this week and if you think you need a Wingman to help with your venture get in touch! #newbusiness #newera #startups

Startups can be compared to a rocket and its launch. As Urška Sršen, co-founder of Bellabeat, puts it: "Unfortunately, some parts were designed to go to the moon, and the rest were parts that took place at the beginning or just made you grow as a founder." There can be intense stress and shaking when you start to grow and scale. And what you have to keep in mind? It's this: ____ Finding value in these bite-sized startup insights? Follow Startup Bites!

It's cliche to say but is incredibly important and often forgotten: time is our most precious resource. Make good decisions on how to utilize time, especially when you're running a startup. You have limited time. You must allocate that time in a way that will return the highest ROI, even moreso than if you have the luxury of a massive company flush with cash (which helps buy time, for awhile at least) Don't get caught up on projects that can steal your time and have a smaller impact than other projects that have a much higher return. These are important decisions to make. Having worked on three different startups now, this is one of the biggest lessons I have learned along the way.

3 biggest lies about startups! #1 Startups need super unique ideas to work. Nope! Successful startups often solve everyday problems. #2 Startups need tons of money to start. Not always! Some startups kick off with just a little cash or even none at all. They get creative with what they have. #3 If your startup fails, it's over. Failure happens, but it's a chance to learn and grow. Lots of successful folks have failed before they made it big. #startups

Well said. Commitment and determination are the table stakes for achieving success in any endeavor. Couple those with strong situational awareness, the experience to know how to navigate the next challenge (or challenges), and the wisdom to know when to pursue a different path than the one you are on, and you have a winning combination. Those three--situational awareness, the experience to navigate challenges, and wisdom about how to proceed--develop over time and depend on the first two. Power on, Mason!

In Any Given Moment We Have Two Options Abraham Maslow once said, "In any given moment we have two options: to step forward into growth or back into safety." This rings especially true for startup founders. Running startups isn't just about testing our ideas - it's about testing your stamina, overcoming challenges, and embracing growth at every turn. Did you know that 90% of startups fail within the first year? Yet, it's those who dare to step forward into growth, despite the risks, who have the potential to thrive in the long run. 🚀 #startups #frontend #services #remote
