As a start-up leader the image above will surely resonate. (In fact, there probably needs to be many more plates!)

You are the people manager, business developer, marketeer, accountant, fundraiser, project manager, IT guru, investor relations manager, HR Lead and probably even the in-house barista!

Not forgetting your responsibilities to family, friends, pets etc.

Juggling so many plates is not only exhausting and draining for your mental health, but is also unsustainable for your business. Ultimately you won’t give enough attention to the fundamentals that matter most and your company will suffer.

You simply MUST act.

1️⃣ Prioritise the most urgent and important tasks, and find ways to outsource others.

2️⃣ Learn to say NO!

3️⃣ Hire great people to lead key areas of your business, to free up your time.
