What advice would you give someone who is starting their own company?

by•
I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"

Starting your own company is a big step, but it's also an exciting one. My advice would be to start by developing a solid business plan and researching your market thoroughly. Make sure you have a clear understanding of your target audience and what they need before you begin. Next, network as much as you can and build relationships with other entrepreneurs in your industry. They can provide valuable advice and resources. Additionally, be prepared for the ups and downs that come with starting a business and don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Finally, stay focused and don't lose sight of your goals and ambitions. With hard work and determination, you can make your company a success.

Build solutions to your own problems, but the problem should also be common to mass. I have learnt this the hard way.

Don't leave your job before you tested MVP properly. No need to go all in before you know what you are doing

The founding team has been the most important piece to me, being surrounded by people who understand how much it will take, who are in it as much as you are, and who can pick each other up when they're down. The lows can be very low, but a good team helps each other get through it.

Whatever you did to get to from A to B won't get you from B to C. Unlearn and relearn.

Only build for a problem that you truly believe in. Coz when the going gets tough (which surely does), it's only your passion to solve the problem that takes you one step further! :)
