Owning up to our mistakes can have a power all of its own. -

#CareerPlaybook 016: Are you taking notes?
Meetings are expensive, especially in startups. Make sure to maximise their ROI. -

Hope I did not make your head hurt with that title. But I do think this way a lot, and it helps guide my decisions in the present. -
#CareerPlaybook 009: Outsourcing Tasks (are you still doing everything yourself?)
Ultimately, it is not about doing everything oneself. Low-value tasks should be delegated. Tasks for which your skills are not good enough, should be delegated. -

"The bad news is, time flies. The good news is, you're the pilot" -
