Here's how you can navigate the common pitfalls when making strategic decisions in a startup.

Forget about the pre-determined categories here (“Assess Risks, Seek Advice” et al) #1 goal is survival and that should be your north star. Everything else is just noise and takes away from the ultimate goal of first staying afloat, so you can eventually swim and flourish.

You're navigating through unexpected market fluctuations. How can you uphold investor trust?

Go Clint Eastwood. Openly share the good, bad, and ugly. Ask for support unabashedly and unapologetically. Your cap table is there to help you during the difficult times. Leverage them proactively.

What are the key skills and competencies that start-up leaders need to develop and demonstrate?

Understand that you’re ALWAYS asking for money and time, no matter who from: - customers ($) - employees (time) - advisors (time) - investors ($ & time)

What are the best ways to prevent a crisis in your business?

Know your 'inner circle' or the folks on your mgt team that are "ride or die." When crisis hits, it's that squad that will collectively pull through. Problem solve together, have each other on speed dial, do a whatsapp group (NOT slack!), and be on call FOR EACH OTHER. Everyone helps each other EXECUTE. Once, you're 'above water' make sure that post-mortem hits hard in terms of not only a retro, but also make sure to answer the question, "Where do we go from here?"

What are the best ways to validate your business idea without a prototype?

Sell before you build. More color: don’t fake the funk, but make sure you have an expansive customer opportunity set waaaaaaay in advance of lifting a finger in actually spending the time and resources to create something. Otherwise you run the risk of building a product no one cares about…!

How can you balance your work and personal life to avoid burnout?

Know what your non-negotiables are on the personal front. Making sure you show up for yourself or loved ones, no matter what, enforces the right balance. For me that means: - making bfast for my kids and dropping them off to school everyday - prioritizing childcare, genuinely sharing the burden with my spouse, and scheduling work around that (instead of vice versa)
