15 Minutes of Focus- Thankful

I look forward to coming back to my blog day after day to reflect.

Today was a good day.  I met with one of our advisors and we had a really good discussion.  Then again, when do I not have amazing conversations with amazing people?  It’s a benefit of doing a startup.

Today I look [...]

15 Minutes of Focus- Do You Believe?

If you seek glory, you are looking for the wrong thing.  Especially in startup.

It’s not in the glory of victory that you find yourself.  It’s the times of darkness.  It’s through the trials and on that last mile where you build your character and become who you are.

That’s why I love the times of hardness. [...]

How Loving My Body Changed My Mental Health

Startup.  You work a lot.  And you push yourself (mentally and physically) to the limit.  Those who have not done a startup before don’t understand the physically part, because how much is it to sit at a computer all day working on the internets, right?

Try gluing yourself to the computer for one day, and pushing [...]

15 Minutes of Focus- Prioritizing

Priorities

10 million things happen in startup. 10 million AND ONE to be exact.

Fucking hell.

Don’t get bogged down though.  Everything you do, you need to ask yourself- does this align with my daily, weekly, and monthly goals?  Where is my priority?

This applies to meetings, emails, action items, ANYTHING.

Prioritize.  Without priority, wheels keep spinning, and nothing gets [...]

Since we are about being just as much as doing, focus points are important.

We agreed that 15 [...]
