If there were a time of year to talk about moderation, you might expect it to be January. The month when piousness abounds; when our feet look like they belong in a mortuary, at the end of our indulged and pallid bodies; when our bank accounts look like an evil toddler’s been playing with a calculator (‘minus one hundred gazillion pounds, Daddy!’); when we go to the doctors in the hope that something is tangibly wrong with us outside of general glibness, which you can’t treat with an antibiotic, apparently. Oh, come on doctor, can we at least try it?

What drives entrepreneurs? Money? Respect? Adoration? For whatever reason, when an entrepreneur goes out with their MVP, ensuring its success in the market can take up a lot of their thinking space over, say, having a considered 360-degree strategy regarding their staffers. That’s not to say founders don’t care, but that laser-focus, and being lean, can make it an added challenge.
