Mastering the art of prioritization

Just like you, I struggled with getting the right things done in the right order.

(if you don’t struggle with this, congratulations, no need to read further)

Early in my career on Wall Street at UBS, I was taught the importance of prioritization under pressure.

Yet, my entrepreneurial ventures truly tested my ability to focus on what matters most. Building companies from scratch taught me that prioritization isn't just a skill—it's essential for survival.

Implementing a priority-driven system

I developed a system to evaluate and prioritize tasks based on their potential impact on my businesses, drawing from my diverse experiences from UBS to launching my startups. This approach helps me, and now my clients, stay focused on strategic goals rather than being overwhelmed by daily tasks.

Cultivating an international peer network

Reflecting on my years working across global markets—from Copenhagen to San Francisco—I realised the immense value of diverse perspectives in maintaining accountability.

Connecting with fellow founders and CEOs in my international network isn't just about sharing advice; it's about holding each other accountable to our commitments. Whether it's a check-in call with a peer in Mexico City or a strategy session with a partner in Zurich, these interactions reinforce my commitment to my prioritisation system.

Returning to the system: A cycle of continuous improvement

No matter where I am in the world, from the bustling streets of Paris to the quiet of my home office in Copenhagen, I always return to my system. This iterative process of reviewing what works and refining what doesn’t ensures I remain agile and focused.

Like you, I’ve struggled and learned. But through a consistent system and a supportive community, I've found a path that works—not just for me but also for the many founders I coach around the globe.

Remember, the right system and people can transform your struggle into success.

All my best,

Peter
