🤪Dumb mistakes as a first-time Founder #3: ⁠
Doing many things at once with no single focus⁠
⁠
⁠
✅ We should focus on one thing at a time. ⁠
⁠
❌ Trying many things at once⁠
⁠
▹ At some point we had +50 members on our team. ⁠
▹ Working on 3 parallel projects⁠
▹ Many got exhausted, including myself. ⁠
⁠
Looking back, Series > Parallels:⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Parallel Strategies⁠
2️⃣ Parallel Paths Within Functions⁠
3️⃣ Parallel Activities by Your People⁠
⁠
1. We needed an overarching strategy. ⁠
⁠
▹ If something went wrong, we pivoted⁠
▹ If we pivot, we should inform the whole team. ⁠
⁠
We didn't do the latter. ⁠
⁠
2. We needed a clear strategy for each team. ⁠
⁠
▹ If strategy A failed, we would try strategy B. ⁠
▹ If strategy B failed, we would try strategy C. ⁠
⁠
We didn't involve the team in each failure. ⁠
⁠
3. We needed a leader in each team. ⁠
⁠
▹ If a team was failing, it was without a leader⁠
▹ If a team was progressing, it had a leader. ⁠
⁠
We didn't delegate tasks soon enough. ⁠
