STP056: The Strengths and Liabilities of the Entrepreneurial Spirit: Managing Time and Perfectionism with Mark Asquith
Mark Asquith is a co-founder of design and digital agency DMSQD. He has described how in 2012 he burned out, a moment that led to his reassessment of his business strategies and subsequent greater success. Here, he speaks about maintaining a sense of perspective on one’s work, and how to manage time and self-expectations, so that the entrepreneurial spirit remains a strength, and doesn’t lead to burnout or wasted energy.
Other topics include:
- What business owners need to know about investing in digital content
- The power of delegation, the risk of burnout, and “superhero syndrome”
- How to balance developing new business with producing the work that generates revenue
- How to be “ruthless with your time”
- Why there “are no competitors”
