Don’t focus on everything you need to do, just look at what are the first things you need to do and break them down into small tasks. Ask for help – Don’t be afraid to get in contact with people and ask for help. There are so many organisations out their ready to you help and they want to hear from you! Be cheeky – Never miss an opportunity! If you think somebody can help you for example by facilitating an introduction to somebody you would like to speak to you won’t lose anything by just asking. Attend start-up events – the more people you speak to the more you will find out what support other start-ups have found useful and also never know the interesting people you might meet!
