Those with substance often find it hard to buy things that offer more vanity than utility.

[Jaime Schmidt @jaimeschmidt]

Perfect timing is a myth. It’s always easy to find a reason to talk yourself out of something.

I was 31 yrs old & 7 months pregnant with no disposable income when starting my biz.

You don’t need your ducks in a row. You need an excitement that nothing can compete against.

Why should schools be closed every time there is an issue anywhere?

COVID closure and now AQI. Children are Kept away from school. Risking workforce quality for India. @mlkhattar @Dchautala #BacktoSchool @anilvijminister @ndtv

[Deepak Mukarji @DMukarji]

The biggest emergency we're facing is a generation that hasn't been to school for 2 years and may never be able to close the gap!

Why are we letting governments make lockdowns and shutdowns the default option? Take precautions ... but let's get moving ...

When Offices and Markets all over India can be kept open and people are living normal:
Why Deprive our children from a healthy lifestyle?
Why should not they be allowed to go to Schools?

#backtoschool @mlkhattar @ArvindKejriwal @msisodia @ndtv @CNNnews18 @TOIIndiaNews @htTweets @Dchautala @anilvijminister @chkanwarpal @Drsubhassarkar how are we providing children “clean air” by keeping them home? Should kids continue to suffer for years of incompetence by govt

An appeal from the kids to the authorities to allow schools to open. @mlkhattar @Dchautala @anilvijminister @cmohry #backtoschool

#backtoschool people can go to markets, parties, playzones, hill stations and what not. When it comes to schooling, they get scared of poor air quality. I believe air remains the same everywhere, be it schools or homes...rather u would find air purifiers in schools #backtoschool

Your first paying customer is like your first kiss. Anticipation builds, you can’t believe it’s happening, then you hope they come back for more.

[Jaime Schmidt @jaimeschmidt]

People ask if I ever thought my startup would fail. I mean, yah there were constant discouragements & sh*t went wrong every day.

But I genuinely believed customers who didn’t try my product were missing out. And nothing can compete with a real belief in what you are building.

@jaimeschmidt This is super enabling !! Wish I had read this 18 months back when we first started. Please keep sharing these meaningful pointers, they go a long way in bringing alignment for the longer term, thanks much

[Jaime Schmidt @jaimeschmidt]

When I started my business I didn’t know the first thing about fundraising. I just assumed the $ from my customers is what would keep the biz going. 🤷‍♀️

And that naïveté propelled me to a big acquisition without raising investor money.

Don’t get bogged down by knowing too much.
