This is your transformational startup superpower

It's a habit that costs you nothing.

But most entrepreneurs don't use it.

Most entrepreneurs are afraid of the hard work it takes to build this habit.

It's as simple as having a call with at least 1 customer every single day.

That's it.

No 14-step process to startup success.

No surveys. No upsell.

Just build strong relationships with your customers by speaking with them every single day.

[The Strong Startup @strong_startup]

Ask questions like

"what's the biggest problem you're facing in your job right now?"

and

"Can you walk me through the last time you experienced this problem?"

Try out these questions

I guarantee you'll gather some amazing customer insights that will help your business

[The Strong Startup @strong_startup]

Do this next time your speak with customers:

Instead of selling your solution
Try listening to their problems

Most founders don't get this but in order to sell something you first need to make sure there's a real customer problem that you solve

If you’re even half thinking of starting your own company do this

Start posting daily about your area of expertise

No need to mention your potential Company.

Just start posting.

Worst case you learn a new skill & grow your network 💪

Is there something magical I need to do to make autocorrect on iPhone work again?

Its killing my speed 😅

@TheOnlyFintanK Congrats on getting funded!

Its a great achievement but based on the stats lair VC backed startups@will fail

Always good to put revenue first and to have a few other good options up your sleeve 😉

[The Strong Startup @strong_startup]

You wont get VC funded

Thats for the 1% of founders that are actually suitable

Try these 7 other great options for funding instead 💪

@getdailyidea Great answer! I firmly believe founders should focus on their business and not constantly worry about competition.

Do your best job, look after your customers and success will follow 💪

How do you protect your startup idea?

Patents are one way of course but only work for specific types of tech ideas

Software is tough to patent.

So do you just stay in stealth mode for ages & avoid speaking about your idea?

#startups #startup #entrepreneur #patent

[The Strong Startup @strong_startup]

For example consulting does not scale easily

but can bring in early revenue

and help you build relationships with customers while you continue developing your main product.

7. CUSTOMER REVENUE
What? this post was supposed to be about FUNDING.

I know. But you should never miss an opportunity to make money.

Lower the expectations for completing your "full" product and see what value you can deliver today to generate revenue.

You won't regret it.
