Advice for starting a new business

You’re Time Poor and it’s your Fault
You're Time Poor and it's your Fault. That seems a bit harsh. But it is true. “Time is the most valuable thing that one can spend.” Theophrastus.

There is no “I” in team, but always remember the “me”. I am sure a lot of us have experienced it. It could be a performance review, a team meeting or even the CEO giving a state of the nation. “Times are tough, we all need to work together to get the outcome for the company.” You ask a question along the lines of “I am still alright to leave a little early on Thursdays for my kids dance class?”, or “will the weekend work still be needed?”. The response that you receive is “Remember there is no I in team.”
Do you have flexible hours? Does it work?
Be Clear. Be Open to Change. Be Mindful of Perceptions. Be Proactive in Task Allocation. Be Adaptive. Be Supportive.
