So here are some of my daily challenges for the past few years. If I [eat, sleep, exercise, recreate, and socialise] carefully, then I worry that I am being irresponsible with regards to the quantity of my time spent at work. If instead I ignore [the listed items], then instead I worry that the quality of my time spent at work is suboptimal. If we ignore the inputs, and judge my work solely on its output, then the sum of my work is quite a turd. My shareholders have received no dividends in over four years, my customers are happy but not happy enough to send our business to effortless profitability, our staff is a mixed bag of extraordinary achievements and ordinary failings, we lost two thirds of our operating founders within a month of starting work, and have added none since, and we have never raised financing since inception, even though we spent most of our first round of financing within FY1. Operationally, I am just now catching up with bookkeeping from seven months ago, we have several broken machines taking up space on our production floor and limiting our topline, I have a ban on using social media so we spend exorbitant amounts on advertising instead, I have outstanding regulatory compliance concerns, and I have yet to completely write a web framework that I trust before I care to invest in web development for our digital product and content launches - subsequent priorities will be an update to the menu, lots of hardtalk on B2B offerings, more public cloud integration, some share sales, and an eventual resumption of HVACR manipulation. Ok that's it, I think I have a balanced portfolio. Just need to take stock of it from time to time.
