Many early stage founders and CEO’s believe they can delegate design and creation of metrics, flash reports, analytical reports and more from their bookkeepers. And at some early stages, a bookkeeper can prepare such information. Why bother with this? The lesson here is twofold.

But early-stage startup founders can’t think this way, because when immediate goals are unrealistic or unachievable, a startup is bound to crash and burn.

As we discussed earlier, CEO changes rarely make sense in the early stages of a startup.
