While annual goals are essential for setting a vision for a company, the reality is that most startup execution is refined month by month. That's why creating a monthly forecast of revenue, expenses, and headcount from day one is crucial, even if it feels like pure guesswork. Personal responsibility is the foundation of success and unlocking your super powers. When you take responsibility for your actions, choices and consequences you become empowered to shape your life.

By Jason Komosa & Dan Tyre

I am a very big believer in an entrepreneur cultivating three important things in their business life to ensure success

1. A coach to help you ask the right questions, understand an outside view and double down on the specific activities 

2. Three business advisors who will ensure that you can see around corners and double check your critical decisions
