Building a product means saying no to your own desires and prioritizing customer needs instead.

[Justin Kan @justinkan]

First time founders are obsessed with product.

Second time founders are obsessed with distribution.

[Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin @jasonlk]

As you scale, you likely will experience:

- co-founders that let you down
- investors that throw you under a bus
- partners that let you down
- much better funded competitors
- key team members that need to move on

Hard not to blame them, or use an excuse.

But no point.

Founders: respect your competition. The moment you underestimate or ignore them is the moment you risk being blindsided.

[Alex Osterwalder🇨🇭 @AlexOsterwalder]

You don’t "design customers". All you can do is understand customers!

Great customer understanding is the foundation for great value proposition design!

“The challenge of trying something with no experience is not only to learn it but to be great at it. This comes with moments of failure and as hard as those moments can be, we learn the most about ourselves during those times.”

[The Ancient Sage @TheAncientSage]

People think they need more knowledge when in reality they need to implement the knowledge they already possess.

Because active implementation of knowledge requires real work, they procrastinate by reading more stuff while thinking that they are doing something productive.

An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
