Set Realistic #StartUp Expectations. “Slow your roll,” as the kids are saying and resist the temptation to be over ambitious in setting your #StartUpObjectives. It’s great to be enthusiastic, it’s also important to be realistic in your #Goals and expectations. Develop a set of objectives that are concrete, specific and measurable. Set #Goals that are within your grasp (or maybe a bit of a stretch) and a timeline to accomplish them. Take a deep breath and start on the first step #Success! https://www.instagram.com/p/BtXBU7BgKaS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lvap5tdxm128

#StartUpTip: We believe that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. You’ll want to have clearly defined #Goals for every functional area of your #StartUp. From these goals you can set specific and measurable #StartUpObjectives. Testing should begin before you ever #LaunchYourStartUp. It’s important to empirically validate your business idea. This early testing may well be your most important undertaking. The result will tell you whether your concept is a “go” or “no-go.” (And a “no-go” is not a failure -- you’ve just saved yourself major time and money!) Then consider testing all the key areas in your business. You’ll likely start by testing the things that aren’t working in an effort to see how they can be fixed. But also consider testing those things that are working in an effort to see if you can achieve even greater result. We’re not talking about big fancy tests, but clearly defined measurement and evaluation of all the key areas of your start-up. You never know where the big “breakthrough” will come from until you test and measure it. We’ve found that sometimes the smallest change can mean the difference between success and failure. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpIecT0lxAH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1obwyvrro38gy
