What does a day in the life of a founder look like?
My day varies quite a bit, but it almost always involves checking in. I use Apollo.io for outbound sales and LinkedIn connecting.
I'm always reviewing my messaging, my targeting, and what people are being pulled into my sequences. I focus on optimizing that.
There are often networking calls, where I get to know venture capital firms and founders. I also manage my team, checking in to ensure they have the tools they need and that their projects are on track.
Occasionally, I focus on hiring or SEO and other content. We have an idea for courses to help founders get started with finance themselves, but those are things I do when I have extra time.
