You Need to Be Thrilled With Early Employees
June 25, 2024
You need to be absolutely thrilled with your first employees. If you’re not overwhelmingly excited about the performance of one of your first hires, you need to let them go.
Today we’re talking about whether or not you’re ready to quit your job and start a startup. Here are the main things to consider:
In most cases, starting a company will involve some lifestyle choices. Ensure you have a minimum of one year of savings to pay the bills.
Have you found an idea, or at least a market, you’re deeply passionate about? Ideally, the market would have substantial cash flow in the Billions, rather than tight constraints.
You’ll need to talk to at least 25 potential customers to confirm baseline demand and test your assumptions. Your perception of the problem may differ from your customers.
Best of luck out there.
