I’m 43. When I graduated from University of Leeds, I thought my studying days were behind me.
Now, 20 years later, I’m still learning something new every single day.
As a startup founder, you have to wear several different hats, often changing hats dozens of times a day.
As we are building Kidnetics we realise we don’t know everything. Far from it!
We aren’t afraid to put our egos to one side and ask for help from those with far more expertise and experience. But we need to understand enough of every part of the business to know which questions to ask, and whose advice to trust
Right now I’m learning...
🤷♂️ how to upgrade our manufacturing process, to produce better, more consistent Roly Poly Balls
🤷♂️ how to optimise Meta ads to increase awareness
🤷♂️ how to improve our Amazon listing
🤷♂️ what on earth TikTok is all about (I’m not sure I’ll ever really understand this one)
🤷♂️ how to improve rate of sale through our stockists
🤷♂️ how to secure the funding we need to scale
🤷♂️ how to onboard a new listing
🤷♂️ how to manage stock levels
🤷♂️ how to get a buyer’s attention
Whilst at the same time...
👉 how to be a better husband to Shreya Hanglin
👉 how to be a better father to our three wonderful children
👉 how to eat better, train better and sleep better
👉 how to manage stress
👉 how to balance it all
There are so many things in life that a business management degree doesnt prepare you for.
To keep moving forward, you have to stay curious and keep on learning!
What are you learning right now?
