At the surface level, it may seem like it's the younger devs that are founding companies, but it's not the case when you look at the industry holistically.

There's never been a better time to start a startup then now.

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

Building a startup is tough.

But don't feel like you're ever too late to the game to try.

The average age of a startup founder is 45.

⚙️ Testing everything, from copy to sales process

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

The difference between dreams and reality is action. One step in front of the other. Tackle one problem, then tackle another.

Do that, and then the only difference will become time.

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

Your definition of "easy on-boarding" is different than your early customers. Zero to minimal friction is absolutely critical at this stage.

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

An overlooked aspect of building a first time product for your early customers is ease of customer on-boarding.

Whatever you think is your MVP related to customer on-boarding.. take that and make it even easier.

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

As a founding team, remember that one of your silver linings is the innovator's dilemma.

Incremental change and slow paced progress plague every big company. You can do in 24 hours what a big company can do in weeks, months, or sometimes even years.

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

@elonmusk has a really great quote about this:

"If you give yourself 30 days to clean your home, it will take you 30 days. But if you give yourself 3 hours, it will take 3 hours."

Progress is better than perfection

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

As a founder, it's worth noting the importance of setting deadlines 📆

The only way you can progress as a startup is to break out of the ambiguity of time ⏱️

[Marc Milberg @marcmilberg]

On average, we each have 30,000 days to live.

When you think of your life by this nominal factor, it's a reminder that not a single day should be wasted.

Products and services that save you and your business time are absolutely critical. Find them, use them.
