What entrepreneurial CEOs do every week

It is hard for ordinary people to imagine how difficult a startup CEO is to work. Your company is burning money. Maybe there are only six months remaining. How can you not worry? In front of the team, you must pretend that everything is in your control. There are countless situations when you get up every day. Otherwise, there are not enough engineers, or someone else has to leave. Otherwise, we need to talk about several important partners. Otherwise, it is difficult for a customer to cancel the contract. Otherwise, the advertisement can be sold only when no version space is available. Otherwise, the advertisement cannot be sold. What? The company has a power outage today. Oh, my God! Is this the end of the world?

 

Good, cheer up. Since your life is destined to be so chaotic, it is necessary to grasp some work points.

 

Remember one thing about you-do not doubt that your team can only do one thing well. Therefore, please remember what it is, whether it is to provide consumers with the most accurate preferential information, or to help them solve the problem of wallet being congested by membership cards, please write it clearly on the wall, and then the entire team will move in that direction. Of course, there will be many other incentives on the road. Please check carefully. If it is a poor opportunity, ignore it. Make sure that is the token you want, and replace it with yours.

 

Remember that you need a first-class team, spend a lot of time on the team, find good talent, and more talented people than you, and then find a way to motivate them to pursue their dreams with you. Give them a lot of freedom and give them a chance to try what they think is possible. Entrepreneurship is not a job, it is a life attitude, so it is very important to make everyone in the team fall in love with what you are doing.

 

Pay attention to the values you have distributed and find out what the organizational culture you want is? Speed? What is the combination of art and technology? Digital orientation? Happy first? Because everything you do, everything you say, what behavior is rewarded, and what behavior is reviewed will affect your company's values, and then spread from employees, shareholders to partners, so pay attention to the meaning behind each action, not just the action itself.

 

Please spend 75% of your time on products. As a start-up company, you have only one product, so it is the core, lifeblood, and brand of your company, how can you spend some time on it? Check your products from the perspective of a customer to the extent of each point, chat with every customer you can meet, and learn why they like and why they don't like your products.

 

Looking at the numbers, you probably have no revenue, so the numbers here refer to the growth data, develop your 3-5 KCI (key customer index), and track them every week, learn why they are growing and why they are not. Send your analysis to the entire team to let everyone know what they are pursuing.

 

Sports and entrepreneurship are a long-term war of resistance. It may take 2 to 5 years (well, you will start your business in the rest of your life), so healthy health is necessary, find some sports you are interested in, at least 2-4 times a week, and the brain will be secreted after exercise, this is often the easiest time to have breakthrough ideas.

 

Ask for feedback. Believe me, you will make mistakes and make many mistakes. The most feared is that you do not know that you have made a mistake. Every week, make sure you ask for feedback. At least one co-founder can tell you what you did wrong and ask you to consult with a director at any time.

 

 

When I leave the office, the world is not just about screens and computers. I want to talk to real customers and partners, and don't use emails for anything.

 

You can read, write, SNS, and participate in the discussion. The advantage of writing your website records is that you can review what you did and did wrong, it is of great help to become an opinion leader on the Internet.

 

Manage cash. Once a week, confirm your inventory level, what are your bills, and what money you spent. You must be clear about how much time you still have and communicate with investors about capital increase.

 

Calculate the investment efficiency. Imagine that you are an investor and are investing your time in the most valuable place. So at the end of each week, check what you did last week to see if you have created good investment benefits. Which of the following can be used to invest more time and which can be used?

 

You must be happy. It is really hard to start a business. If this is not your pleasure, you cannot succeed. You don't have to grow up. Please remember to enjoy this process.

 

In addition to enjoyment, you must even fall in love with all of this, whether it is your company, your employees, your investors, your partners, and the most important thing, your family. Because of your full spiritual life, You can surpass all secular values to create the greatest revolution.

 

Above, I hope to give some good guidance and encouragement to the CEO of every startup.
