Regret is almost never about failures.
It's almost always about the things you never tried.
Never building that product. Never starting that company.
Conquer your fear. Because the thing that scares you most might be the very thing defines your life and career.
@cureteurazvan "That's a cool idea" is one of the most dangerous sentences in startups. It's responsible for so many useless features nobody actually wanted. The ultimate validation is revenue. Start small. Validate and iterate. Only build when they're ready to pay.
@KevinFengX Definitely good to keep in mind. Also remember that your competition is facing the same challenges. Most of them eventually quit. Yet another reason to keep pushing.
In startups, progress is non-linear.
Thing move slowly, until they suddenly boom.
Periods of nothing followed by chaos as business floods in.
You can't predict the exact inflection point. What you can do is stay relentless. Keep working. Keep building. Keep improving.
Patience pays massive dividends.
@russellbrunson It's not the easiest path. But you'll definitely learn and grow from the experience. Regardless, of whether you succeed on the first attempt.
@harry_ngala10 It's impossible to foresee everything before you start. That's exactly why there's no "perfect" moment. Just start building. You'll figure things out along the way.
If there's one real "secret" in startups, it's compound growth.
New growth builds on top of old growth.
The effects are subtle at first. The curve stays mostly flat. Nothing too exciting.
Then suddenly you're managing chaos as business explores.
The formula is simple: Growth * Time = Outsized Results
Stay patient. Stay relentless.
And be ready when the moment arrives.
