How do you stay focused and on track through the many ups and downs of creating a new company/product while being as a solo founder? Is self motivation enough? Peer groups? Do you hire a project manager to help keep you organized? If the latter, tell me more.
Sometimes I work 60 hour work weeks, sometimes am down to 10.
As far back, as I can remember. I've never been one to have consistent energy levels.
But a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon something: automation.
As a solo founder, you do a lot of stuff by yourself; emails, calls, coding, finance etc
But most of this, if you're a tech startup, can be automated. For free.(if you're a programmer that is)
For me, i automated email replies, how they got sorted in my inbox depending on the priority. Same case to calls, and my calendar events.
My energy levels are still unpredictable. But at least now, there's not that much backlog when I get back to work.
I really don't know if this is what you wanted to here... Goodluck anyway.
What are you working on?
