And if you're a startup operator, it is very easy to get carried away from your goals and start obsessing over what your competitors are doing. But, you shouldn't completely ignore them either. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about how much you should think about competition.

Byte 4 : How much should you think about competition? | Roshan Cariappa | Startup Wisdom | The Startup Operator

The greatest temptation as a leader is to just do it all yourself. And it's an alluring thought - because, you can hold yourself to the expected standards without any dependencies. But, if you have to do something meaningful over a period of time - you have to be the sort of person who can attract the right people and then enable them to do good. In this episode, we talk about how you shouldn’t have to do it all by yourself and you just have to focus on developing your team.

Something we should beware of as operators and entrepreneurs is being under-leveraged when this crisis passes over eventually. One of the things that happen during these times is an increased focus on conserving capital. You comb through every line item of expense. But if you don’t continue to invest in your growth now, will you be able to capture the opportunities that'll come tomorrow?
