A question for first-generation founders and startups: are you building the business you set out to build — or have you become a firefighter, running from one urgent thing to the next?
When you were the only one, nothing slipped, because it all lived in your own head. Then you built a team, and layers appeared, and leads started going cold somewhere between the inbox and the close. And you began to question your own leadership.
It's neither you nor your team to blame. It's human behaviour — the way we act, remember, forget, and prioritise. And the captain of the ship is often the only one who can see how bad the problem really is.
If this is familiar, reach out — let's talk about your industry and where deals are slipping.
