I joined 8 months back. It is a start-up and needs long working hours and managing chaos. I started this team alone and set the foundation. Now after working alone for 8 months i have a leader and a subordinate. I like the company overall and find it good in long-term to grow professionally. But I am pulled in some activities that I have started to get overwhelm about. I dont like the unorganised administration work. I hate to be the person only responsible for it. I want order and process. I want priorities charted out. I do not want adhoc work. I am feeling stuck. I am having a burn-out and unable to be myself at job. I dont want others to feel I am incompetent and hence I dont get the help I need. What to do?

It sounds like you may need to set some boundaries for your role.
Do you have a viable job description? Can some of the work that you are unhappy about be delegated to your subordinate, or do you need a second subordinate?
Your preference for order and priority setting can work to your advantage now. What changes would increase revenues and decrease costs at your start-up while allowing you to perform the activities that you would prefer to focus on? Work to make these changes happen.
