Resilience & Mental Health

Working in (or running) an early-stage startup can be one of the most volatile experiences of your life.  The mixture of monumental highs assuming that you’re somewhere on the right path combined with depressing lows is quite unique in a career/lifestyle.  There will be times where you question your self-belief and wonder why you are doing what you are doing.  Your resilience is an important factor in helping you bounce back, so it is good to have an understanding of what helps keep you strong.

Hiring (and Firing)

Over the course of the last year or so, I have met with, spoken to or been to talks featuring many different CEOs and start-up founders.  I like to ask them about some of the biggest mistakes that they’ve made (in the futile hope that I can learn from them) or what advice they would give to an aspiring/early-stage entrepreneur.  What is interesting is that the answer they all give is almost always the same.
