Yes! Me and my cofounder ask each other two questions each day:
1. What did we learn today?
2. How do we (as a company) want to grow?
The answer to the last one means asking "what type of company do we want to build?" and that in turn means asking the much deeper question "what life do we want to design?".
An old friend said that becoming an entrepreneur is all about taking control of your own life. This is true. As an entrepreneur, you have it in your hand to not only design the way the company you're building will work but also what your own life should be like.
- bliti 11y agoIt is definitely taking control of your life. That does mean that you and only you are responsible for all events. Not everyone is ready to deal with that. It is sometimes difficult. Being forgiving towards yourself goes a long way. Also, when you take control of your life you also take control of the life of others. People will depend on you. Defining how much is really important. Don't have people depend solely on you. Work with them to softly nudge them towards independence.
