Importance of Understanding Current Position and Defining Clear Goals
Being aware of the current stage of your startup and understanding whether you have product-market fit or not is crucial for maintaining focus. Start by talking to experienced founders and investors to gain insights. Define very few goals that align with your current position, such as finding product-market fit and building a strong team culture. Rigorously assess every task and ask if it has relevance to these goals. Regularly evaluate your calendar to ensure you are dedicating time to the most important tasks.
