Growing a startup isn’t easy.
In the beginning it’s easy.
Relatively.
You simply do what you think is best.
Try to get feedback from the marketplace.
And adjust.
Then it starts going well.
And you hire new people.
You assign them some tasks.
So far no problem.
But what do you do when you’ve got 10 people to assign tasks to?
25?
50?
At some point, you need to have a culture.
And a system that works.
One that doesn’t take away your time.
But that frees up your time.
And has everybody working toward the same goals.
That and more in today’s episode.
