Gino Wickman discusses the eighth critical mistake entrepreneurs make, not crystallizing roles and responsibilities.
This can present itself in many businesses, especially in the startup phase. You start a business and need a body. Instead of hiring somebody for the specific role, you seek out friends and family members that are readily available to help. When this happens, everybody is trying to help each other with everything instead of being extremely focused and productive with their major role and tasks.
To avoid people tripping over each other and creating chaos, each one of your people—including yourself—must know exactly what they are accountable for. That means having a coherent organization chart in place (even if you only have one employee), so that the right hand always knows what the left hand is doing. You must make it abundantly clear to each of your people exactly what you expect of them.

You must assume that you will make mistakes along your entrepreneurial journey. Everyone does. It’s important to know that many are avoidable.
Today, let's look at critical mistake #7 of 8 that I share in Entrepreneurial Leap: Knowing Your Numbers!
One of the most important things you, as an entrepreneur, need to do is make sure you’re generating a profit as soon as possible. To do so, you must have a pulse on your numbers.
A few simple disciplines for achieving this are for you to:
(1) review your financials every month;
(2) manage a monthly expense budget; and
(3) track the five to fifteen most critical numbers for your business every week (e.g., visitors, followers, leads, appointments, proposals, sales, revenue, errors, customer satisfaction, cash balance, accounts payable, accounts receivable).
The numbers and data never lie.

The importance of entrepreneurial quiet time cannot be understated, as this is the time for business owners to unplug and focus on their vision.
Why does an entrepreneur NEED ‘coffee shop time,’ or personal time for reflection?
Because ideas progress in times of clarity.
How to maximize your coffee shop time:
Find a quiet place that is yours (coffee shop, library, a room in your house, etc.).
Develop a formula of time per day/week/month and commit to using it for quiet time.
Eliminate distraction. Make it known you are not to be disturbed during this time.
Resist the temptation to do busywork, i.e. do not answer emails.
Focus on nothing but your vision!
Entrepreneurial quiet time provides a place to shut out the world and connect the dots. Take it from a man who has been where you are and can help you pave your path!
