Here are some of the best advice for a young, first-time startup CEO, if you are planning to come under this category, just go through it.

Market before product

Before investing your time, money and effort on working on the business ideas, find out how capable you are in marketing and promoting the products. Gaining the knowledge and experience in marketing and promoting strategies which will help to develop your business in a good and steady speed. You can gain experience in the same field in which you are planning to step in as an entrepreneur. Or just find a small group of people who face some problems and give a solution for them in such a way that should make their lives better than before.

Surround yourself with the right people

This is one of the most important things to follow because keeping the right people around you is always good and helps you to develop the skills which are useful to develop your business.
There are lot of people who are smarter in getting their targets done. So it is better to surround yourself with mentors and with good friends who can give you the right advice at the right time. And also keep good investors around you to give you great advice that helps you to achieve your objectives.

Recognize your weaknesses

Recognizing your weakness is the main strength and it will help you to overcome your struggles and keep you going in whatever you are into. Another important aspect is to admire the CEO who’s running a medium-sized company and develop the skills that they have achieved and also follow them regularly. When you recognize your weakness, you can truly grow your business at levels in a steady manner. To overlap your weakness, surround yourself with people who can supplement those weaknesses with strengths, themselves, and make you aware of the situation in which you are in.

Focus on Revenue Generation

Focus on revenue generation, revenue is the profit but you get profit from customers, so focus on customers. Every single business is successful when it converts the public into their customers. And it happens only if you focus on your target people and design your product in such a way that it should please and attract the public and convert them into customers and further as your loyal customers. If you are successful in doing this then automatically your business will travel in a success path and the profit will increase.

Open Up Your Wings Outside Your Company

Another important advice for young CEO’s is to continue to learn from outside your company. We get so parochial with the busy business things that we have to focus on, just to survive, particularly in the beginning stage of your business that you forget to learn other things than our business. That’s very wrong, apart from your business you should also be keen on learning more things, you can achieve this by keeping good friendship with intelligent people, by reading good books that help you grow both in business and personal, by attending many seminars and conferences to educate yourself and to be aware of all needed things that happen outside your business. This gives you training for the next level.

Enjoy the Journey

Really, this is more important than anything, enjoy the journey. There are many young, startup CEOs who get so stressed and give up the journey because of the immense pressure that they face on the early-stage of business. So, forget those pressures and struggles, just enjoy the work and think about the beautiful, creative, incredible path that you’re going to see after crossing that difficult path. So support yourself with confidence and welcome every single day with a fresh mind. When you wake up in the morning, say to yourself, “I am the best and I am working on something that 99% of the people think it is ‘BIG’ and be brave and be proud of what you’ve achieved till now.
