📢 Avoid these mistakes – and do this instead! 🚀 ❌ Don’t do this: 1️⃣ Building without customer feedback – Spending weeks developing your product without talking to real customers. 2️⃣ Chasing too many ideas at once – Lack of focus means no real progress. 3️⃣ Waiting too long to start selling – A great product is useless without customers. 4️⃣ Striving for perfection before progress – It’s better to launch and learn than to over-engineer. 5️⃣ Neglecting networking – Without connections, you miss out on opportunities and resources. ✅ Do this instead: 🔹 Talk to potential customers early and validate your problem-solution fit. 🔹 Set clear priorities and focus on one thing at a time. 🔹 Develop a sales strategy from day one – cash flow is key to survival. 🔹 Launch your MVP quickly and improve based on real feedback. 🔹 Leverage events, LinkedIn & communities to build valuable connections. 🚀 Success in the early stage is about making smart decisions – and learning from the mistakes of others!
