Increase monthly recurring revenue Develop my leadership style Hire key team members or leaders Validate product / market fit at scale Reduce customer churn rate Something else

Question 3

How do you currently manage stress?

Choose the option that feels most honest, not most flattering.

Relax? I can't relax right now, the stakes are too high. When I slow down, the guilt sets in. I thrive under pressure, why would I want to slow down? I can feel the tension in my body and / or my sleep isn't great. I prioritise movement, sleep, nutrition etc. A combination of the above, or something else

Question 4

My inner dialogue sounds most like...

There aren't enough hours in the day. I'm running on caffeine and fumes. I'm hustling hard, so why am I still feeling stuck? Can I actually pull this off? I can't afford to fail. I've put everything on the line. I can see the runway and have tunnel vision. I just need to get this done. I've got this, everything is falling into place.

What are the limiting factors to your next level?

Select up to 3

Product / market fit uncertainty Cash runway or fundraising constraints Talent acquisition or leadership gaps Customer acquisition cost / growth efficiency Operational bottlenecks or process gaps Founder burnout or energy management Market timing or competitive pressures Other

Feel the urge to push back, challenge the problem, or confront the trigger head on. Want to withdraw, delay, or postpone action. Feel paralysed, indecisive, or overwhelmed. Try to keep everyone happy and de-escalate the situation. Need to win no matter the cost. A combination, or it depends on the situation.
