Mindset is so important when starting a business. But when you first start out, you need to dig deep into why you're starting your company, who do you want to help, what happens when it gets tough? All these different questions are things to consider when you're first starting.

Holding yourself accountable is also really important. I struggled with holding myself accountable with sales, as I was nervous and scared. Sometimes you need someone to help hold you accountable and work through some of your problems with you.

Good task management is essential when you're in the early stages of a business. You time is tight, as you need to do everything with no help. To manage my tasks, I use a mix of chunking, Trello and the Urgent/Important matrix to pick if tasks are worth doing. I talk about this in the podcast, but if you want to read more about the Urgent/Important matrix, check out this really good Medium article.

Have a great week.
