If there’s one thing everyone seems to lack it’s time. Even though technology has automated so many tasks and you can buy virtually anything online, people in developed countries are more time-poor than ever before. According to The Economist, it’s actually a problem of perception. It’s argued that you actually have more time on your hands than ever before, but if this is true, why do you feel so rushed and overworked? Today we explore the issue of time from a startup business perspective. What can you do to make more time so you can launch and what can you launch to make more time for what’s important in life. And be sure to listen in for today’s challenge.
