E. Celebrate your successes.
Startups are a marathon, not a sprint. Your journey is going to take many years, so you need to celebrate along the way.
So employ the Kaizen method of recognizing your small incremental achievements that you are making on your way to changing the world.
You’re trying to build momentum when you start a company. So every small achievement along the way helps build that momentum.
I liked the idea of giving the team small rewards as we hit minor milestones. It might be giving everyone a $10 Starbucks gift card or free movie tickets.
These small rewards don’t break the bank, but they do remind everyone that you care. Plus they remind your team that the company is executing and achieving.
