There are some many tasks to be done at a startup, and so much to learn... taking responsibility and tackling new tasks can keep you motivated and not fizzle out. 2. Don't get locked into "hands on". Learn when to pass the torch to someone that can do it better so you, the entrepreneur, has time to work ON the business not IN the business. this is my biggest problem. Thanks again, Ross, great vids I fully agree and would like to add 2 things.

For example, we needed to hire developers because we didn't have that expertise. Same with marketing. But before we hired others, Mike (my co-founder) and I handled customer service for six months and community management for four months. At times, I've contributed to our dev team (mostly front end work) and system administration, to get a better feel for our needs and to better understand when we might have to hire additional people. Currently, I've been spending some time with our conversions and SEO/SEM efforts. For more about doing the job yourself first, I suggest you take a look at this video from Fall 2009: <a href="http://rosskimbarovsky.com/2009/09/startup-hiring-tip-do-the-job-yourself-first/" rel="nofollow">Do The Job Yourself First.</a> Le – I believe that it’s important for entrepreneurs to do ANY and EVERY job on their own first, unless they don’t have the know how or technical expertise.
