This is a tough one. On Jobster I made 2 big mistakes with regard to this. (1) I gave up the chief product role too early in terms of getting too busy with other aspects of running the business to really guide and impact the product. (2) I made the mistake of thinking i could still guide the product when i was actually too busy doing other stuff, and then I failed to give full day-to-day control of the product to Ethan Lowry when he volunteered to help with it. I was too foolish to realize that i had already given up product control but yet unwilling to allow someone else to help me with it. Ethan went on to be the founder of Urban Spoon.
