As a reminder of why this is important and why we encourage you to prioritize these sessions - the most valuable thing that startups have is their time. Startups get a small runway and in that runway you have to take off. Most ideas are great ideas, but companies are going to fail because they are not going to take off by the time the tarmac ends. So the most critical thing you can do is decide what your primary goals are and focus all your attention on getting those things done.
Before you set any goals however, you need to think about your long term goals and break those down into one year and then into 3 months, 1 month, and two week goals. And this two week component is the one you really focus on because as long as you keep hitting those two week goals, it leads up to the bigger goals.
With that in mind, there are three rules, all goals should be results-oriented, metrics-based and achievable!
To get you started on how to think about structuring your goals, we’d like you to work through this Focus VC Goal Company Roadmap. Please make a copy and create one for yourself and fill in the exercise.
