How To Execute Well Everyday
Execution is one of the most critical parts of running a great company. If you want your company to execute well everyday, you have to execute well yourself first. You have to build a culture where people work hard, take ownership of products and are paranoid about customer support. You can build such a culture only if you do all these things yourself.
• The team always looks at founders as role models. So it is important to show that you are 100 percent committed towards making the company successful.
• The first thing that is required to succeed is focus. You have to narrow down the two or three most important things for the company and do well on those things. Spend your time and money on these important things. You will need to say no to a lot of other things.
• You have to keep account of the growth and momentum of your startup. You must look into your growth metrics every day and communicate that to your team.
• You have to get things done quickly. If your team can get new things done in a pretty short period of time, it is a huge predictor of the success of your startup.
• You must obsess yourself with the execution quality and ship new features everyday.
• You must become courageous and never give up even if your company goes through a little slump.
• You must take charge of the sales and marketing for your startup. Try to generate some revenue early on. That can act as a boost for your startup. Develop good relationships with journalists and learn about consumer behavior.
The path of operating a startup is not easy. There are difficulties at each and every corner. Startups are damn hard and can affect your life in ways you do not want. But if you follow the above points honestly, you will be able to make it big in the world of entrepreneurship.
