    1. product market fit: strive to obtain unprejudiced, outside appraisal/ feedback/ interaction.
    2. take great care to select appropriate founders with appropriate skills, vision, compatibility, and make roles, responsibilities very clear. Walk through worst case scenarios and ensure agreement.
    3. "Just fucking launch already": implement your idea (MVP) ASAP to determine viability/response and then iterate. Get it to the bare bones, or the money will run out before you can implement.
    4. Focus on impact not productivity: don't get bogged down in details, remind yourself your key metrics and dedicate time to activities that nudge these.
    5. Build public interest from day 1, don't wait 'til your product is "ready".
    6. Team-building: have faith that people will work for you even with a pay cut, if they are the right fit. They will stay too. So be creative to find the right fit, and then be transparent and thorough to double check.
    7. Don't succumb to any negativity around your company or projected chances or the market generally. Hold true to your experience and your customer feedback.

      Yes! I love the way you lay this out. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good (or even just the okay) you'll be way better off getting it out there and learning than sitting around tinkering..

      I totally agree. Yes, they can have some good insight, but their path to success is inevitably going to be different (easier) than it is for the rest of us.

    • @susanmcvea
      @susanmcvea 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great point. People who come from money don't have the same business struggles, and therefore cannot relate to alot of the problems most business owners go through

    3. Perfect v. Done
    4. Productive v. Impactful
    5. Create Velocity: customers don't just come
    6. Team-building

      It is yes. But there are two kinds of people. One who make the rules and one who follow them. Both are required to keep the machine and society running. Though, the rule makers get more rewards than the followers. Maybe rightly so.

    Never considered a pay cut for the founder's idea, never will.... let's be realistic, hire the best you can, that's all you got. BTW, you don't always need the best talent. People with massive level of expertise many times just start thinking about turning Vegan, the essence of Yoga for humanity, the fun they've missed in their early 20s, or simply wanna start their own business (exaggerated a bit but overall it's true). Trust the people who have the potential, are cheaper, love to get the experience and want to prove they are good so they can move to a better company and along the way they help you build your product, later you can hire a $1000/day developer who's not gonna work that much for you btw.

    Enough... Everyone claims to know something. There is no formula for this. Time, location, and strategy align at some point. Keep pounding, that’s all. If you think your business success is when you rise to a podium and you get a picture makes you look like a Mártir your are dead wrong. Focus dudes.

    I honestly think UX learnt from user behavior is not valuable. If you can't understand how to design a decent platform by now, you quit the internet. Internet companies make terrible mistakes, including Google the Mother of all data and Apple now too.
