Important advice for start-up people

Be proactive and position yourself in a valuable role that coworkers around you can rely on your management. Don’t put in the bare minimum because that’s all you were asked to do. Do your job and then face challenges and opportunities that no one expects you to act about. It’s the fastest way to grow your start-up business and elevate you within Canadian Market.

Don’t seek perfection, but do try to feel proud of the work you do and the progress you make toward. In order to feel happy in your position, you have to take pride in your work and you need to believe that what you’re doing is important to succeed in your start-up plan.

And finally, treat every day like it’s your last because it could be. Don’t wait until tomorrow or some unknown day in the future to make a bigger impact or do more important work toward your business idea. Do those things now, because you might not have the opportunity later.
