Execute On What Matters Most - The Hill of Entrepreneurship

Episode Summary

In this episode we talk through the hills of executing under pressure in a start-up business and the obstacles surrounding living out your values as an investor and entrepreneur.

Episode Notes

We hope this episode encourages you in your journey as an entrepreneur.  The following is a basic outline of key points from our discussion that may be helpful in your journey to execute on your values.

1. Stop reacting -  instead, execute on your values.  And if you don't have a list of family or business values then it's time to sift through what matters most to you as you seek to provide value to your community.
2. Pretense Isn't Helpful - it will always be a trap to look good while you learn and perform.  Don't give in to the temptation to look like you have it all together.
3. Know Your Limitations - this piggy backs upon avoiding pretense...  know what you are good at and the environment you need to succeed, including your triggers and blindspots.
4. Have Your Vendors in Place - whether its a vendor or a friend or a spouse, you must have people you trust who can help you execute, whether directly to the task or indirectly supporting you through it.
5. Stage for the Next Round - each time we execute we are allowed a unique view into what could be better or improved upon.  Use each experience to improve your environment where you perform or the elements needed to execute appropriately.
6. Be Grateful for God's Provision - Don't forget to take time each week to thank God for what and whom he has already given you including finances, people and time to execute and succeed bringing about your goals.
