We’re big fans of goal setting here at Palo Alto Software. We set goals for the company as a whole, and by specific team as well. We even set additional personal development goals, using the OKR (“objectives and key results”) goal-setting technique. We take the time to review our progress often, and we’re always working to refine and optimize it. That being said, creating a goal-setting methodology for an entire company doesn’t happen overnight.

Today’s customers are overloaded and overwhelmed by too much information, so making a decision is a challenge. You may think this is only important to your marketing and sales people, but in reality it doesn’t matter how great your product or technology might be, you won’t succeed if you don’t understand your target customer decision process. Every aspect of your business must be about sales.

Ever since we’ve started organizing a conference back in 2006 we’ve been getting requests for free tickets. It starts as soon as we announce our event, and then the requests increase as we get closer to the conference date. I don’t blame people for asking for something free, I really don’t. You can always give it a try, and if you don’t ask, you don’t know.

by Kyle Zagrodzky, president of OsteoStrong. Hiring is one of the most crucial decisions you will make as an entrepreneur. Staffing choices are some of the hardest in any business, but because every person counts in an entrepreneurial venture, the people you choose to grow your business are even more vital. As your business expands, the list of things you have to delegate grows along with it, which means putting more trust in more people.

Startup Lessons Learned

FEBRUARY 27, 2017

In the five years since I published The Lean Startup , I've worked with organizations of varieties and sizes I never imagined would be interested in the ideas I wrote about in that book. And what I've learned is that lean isn't just for five-person startups: it's for everyone--especially everyone who wants to thrive in the quickly changing world we now live in, where the only guarantee is that we don't know what's coming next.

When you’re first starting a company, you’re right there in the thick of it, all the time. During that heavy lifting phase, you naturally have to throw yourself into getting your startup off the ground and figuring things out. But it can’t go on like that forever.

I’m always tinkering, trying to find the most optimal process for my business life. And I always find it best to force myself to test a new process in order to really understand the pros and cons of it. For the next 30 days, I’ll be using only the Samsung Chromebook Plus , and I’ll be testing out the Bullet Journal system for task management and note-taking.
