As your startup company will become more successful, naturally there will be more and more people eager to share their advice with you. It's a smart strategy to surround yourself with people who know more than you in various business areas - be it sales or security. There are a few things any founder needs to keep in mind, however, to make sure that taking advice will help their company as opposed to hurting it. As a startup CEO, you must figure out:
- How to find and choose the right advisors for your business?
- How to separate good advice from bad?
- How to maintain a strong relationship with an advisor even if you reject his or her advice?
- How to compensate your startup advisor?
There is no question that the right set of advisors will make your startup stronger. Watch this video to get answers to the questions below - and much more!
