Do you have too much on your plate?

It’s a rhetorical question; of course you do.

Even when it’s not your hands doing a task, it’s your head doing the remembering and the reminding and the deciding.

The idea of adding a whole new business to take care of — from research through development and marketing, to launch — justifiably fills you with dread.

You’re not scared of the unknown because you hate learning, but because of the potential amount of decisions you will have to make.

Worse still, many of those decisions are critical decisions (on par with chosen form of chicken nuggets for dinner) and making them while you’re still learning the ropes is guessing.

You have your thrills; betting the remnants of your sanity on a venture is not one of them.

How can I recommend you to start your startup, if I know all that?

I am a Responsible Adult

It started as a shower thought and grew on me — I’m a responsible adult.

It goes beyond me living on my own with a bunch of animals.

I’m levelheaded and I don’t panic.
I know what to do or I know whom to ask for help.

I am comfortable with making decisions.

It’s safe to do mistakes on my watch.

Responsible Adult as a Service

How much easier would building a startup be, if you had a responsible adult whom you’d text “OMG! It hates me! I hate it! What now???” and have them validate your feelings (tech is annoying), then tell you how to solve that?

If you have 2-3 hours a week to do startup-related tasks, your startup idea could be financing your summer vacation in an all-included resort, so you could rest too.

I know you want it, Queen 💕
