The many hats of an entrepreneur

So, I spent the last six weeks or so writing Ruby, Javascript, HTML and CSS code – on LocalFoody – and now have to switch hats completely to focus on:

• traffic acquisition
• promotions/pr
• business plan work
• pitching investors
• attending events
• building out the content database
• figuring out how to get my mobile apps built
• attending to accounting stuff

etc, etc etc.

This is the life of a bootstrapping startup. It is never boring, but often overwhelming and whiplash inducing.

If you are an entrepreneur how do you manage it? I would love to hear your tips.
