"Are we working on only the most important things to further our mission, or everything that we think 'needs' to be done?"
Probably the biggest mistake when starting my first business was not challenging myself about whether every task I did was the best use of my limited time and resources -- relative to mission. Why do I choose to do this task myself? Do I need to do this next thing more than any other? The answer for most of these should have been no. I should have prioritized myself like an agile software resource, instead of treating most tasks as equally important. I always felt as if working harder was the key to reaching my goals.
