Preparing for holiday as a founder
by Jochem GerritsenHere's my weekly update, as founder of Enter Network - the place where European entrepreneurs connect, learn & grow.
1) What did I work on last week?
✅ Finished most of the preparation for ProductHunt launch
✅ Found someone who will be facilitating some events while I’m away
✅ Reached out to a number of people and had a couple start a trial with us, which is great!
✅ Participated in the kick-off for the Lisk Blockchain Accelerator, for which we’re facilitating a mastermind group
✅ Had a good first Strategy Session to discuss our over-arching goals for Enter Network.
2) What did I learn?
I learned that there are too many things we’re still doing manually. From Slack invites to inviting our members for events, there are a number of things that we could automate I think. I hope that once I’m back from my holiday I’ll be able to work on this some more, freeing up time for both me and the Enter Network team.
3) What am I working on this week, and what are my goals?
- Talk to new trial members and engage with them
- Prepare our email inbox, Asana (project management), and other tasks/to do’s so that I can go on holiday
- Do tax return for last year (income tax) and for Q1 2021 (VAT)
- Create list of books to read or listen to during my holiday (so if you have any suggestions…. let me know!)
