Startups often have many meetings.

That's too much.

Reduce some.

The simplest way is to get rid of those meetings.

You don't need to keep meeting with team members just to hear them report on the progress of the project.

Let them write them down.

Put it in a GoogleDoc and let everyone read it once a week.

"Never leave the meeting before making a decision."

When it comes to decision making meetings, please make quick decisions.

Most decisions are reversible in startups, but we spend too much time thinking about them.

When people get together and have the right data and the right people, they can make decisions quickly.

For all

Do this unless it is a truly irreversible decision.

Then spend more time, engage in more dialogues, and convene your advisers and boards.

If not, decide and execute it.

As a start-up company, the biggest advantage is rapid change, because there are so many components.

The greatness of technology lies in improving our efficiency, but it also has its limitations.

Hiring an assistant to help you, whether in office or remote, is worth it.

Virtual assistants and services, like TaskRabbit, focus on

It's very powerful.

But they can't know the ideas in your head, they can't replace you in making decisions.

So, if possible, hire one.

The assistant works with you.

This will help you more than you can imagine.

In addition to being able to make decisions for you in accordance with your behavior patterns, they can also coordinate many things.

If it's impossible to hire a full-time assistant, try a virtual one.

There are many cheap services, like Prialto, which can help you deal with a lot of things.

They can help you order and send gifts, as well as dictation, and you can arrange multiple meetings at once.

The dictation function should not be underestimated because it can improve efficiency.

I suggest you install a App called Voxie.

If you open it, just say it to it, "draw up a Email for Chris," and then dictate the content. "Hello, Chris, I'm very pleased to meet you this morning."

Thank you for joining us. "

Your virtual assistant can easily record the recording, and when you open your inbox, the draft is already there.

All you need to do is click send.

"The follow-up work of the conference will have great influence, but how often do you do it?"

Now, you can draw up the follow-up Email within a few seconds of the meeting.
