Ready To Get To It

I'm back in Bangalore, India, and raring to get to work! That is one of those statements you'd think you'd never say—like on your death bed, you'd never say, "I wish I spent more time at work!" But I'm not on my deathbed, and I am generally excited about the company I am building with a young team of energetic spirits.  

It's never an easy path when building a new company, and even more daunting when you're [as C.E.O.] the only one in the company with any business background.  So, while I hover over everyone to ensure our clients are serviced, a wise entrepreneur also sets aside time to systemize the operation. 

This includes determining the protocols for your operation, department by department, and task by task. Without

If you don't have a system in place that drives the direction and response of your employees, then you're just a sole proprietor with a lot of workers around you instead of the owner/partner of a business.  

To be a business, it must run smoothly in my absence. The recent three months I spent in New York City revealed that this is not yet true for my company: we are a solopreneurship in that everything still runs through me. Empowering the team to make and effectuate critical decisions is still the task at hand. 

The plus side for me, however, is that I have established that we have services clients are eager to utilize and—though it has been a little rough going these past months—a young, talented team that quickly learns and adapts to fulfill those clients' needs.  

The goal for me now is to Get Stuff Done!
