Failure presents great opportunities to learn and some might stick with you. Mine would likely be community first, failing to prioritise community building and nurturing caused my first project to dwindle

Startups are hard and ensuring that one is clear on some of the following aspects is important so the chances of failure can be brought down dramatically. That’s why here are the Startup questions for you to ask before beginning.
Founders Vs Investors
Understand the difference between them. No part-time co-founding.
Founders are a part of the journey, investors have a stake in the journey.
Similar financial and intellectual sync, you will not succeed if your motivations are not the same.
Hypothesis Vs Validation
Get your hypothesis behind startup plan clear. Why are you doing it? Keep updating and regularly check on these notes, imperative to get your shop running.
Validation is a series of experiments backing your initial hypothesis. A strong homework and quick answer here is necessary to make either the right pivots or to do course corrections.
Culture Vs Strategy
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Marry strategy with execution, have fewer risk points and diligently work to de-risk as many components of the company as possible.
KISS: Keep it simple stupid, if you can’t articulate in simple terms, you are missing something.
Execution Vs Operations
Have KPIs defined for every task? You don’t improve what you don’t measure.
Some things take time, don’t try and rush off. Understand the gestation period for the foundational task and don’t scale prematurely.
It’s going to be difficult and throw new challenges not anticipated. In the end, execution is all that matters.
Hiring Vs Firing
Single-handedly the biggest factor in the early stages.
Get it wrong and nothing else would matter.
Hire for attitude first. Fire if no aptitude.
Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton. Hope these startup questions are helpful for you in your beginning phase.
Sure @aaronoleary, community for me too is the key to growth without ads but with recognition by people ! For me is to dev a full Saas without asking lead about new feature's interest. Wasting time for the most 😱

For me it was that the founders where too similar. Both business people but the product was a tech product. Furthermore we our skills where nearly the same what made it difficult to get synergy effects of different skills. Since them I am only working on projects where my founding team is diverse and everyone has different skills in their expertise :)

1) We assume a lot and convince self that we are on right path, till we reach the dead end
2) If you are not an expert in the business you are venturing into, better stay at home than experimenting.
3) How you deal with failure is more important than failure itself

At the point when I went through the most exceedingly awful disappointment of my life, I was totally lost and had lost all the certainty I had in myself. It took about an entire year (2020, on account of isolate) for me to mend myself. As it's been said each circumstance has great and awful. In spite of the fact that being at home made me discouraged and I missed my school life, it permitted me to recuperate from quite a while ago.
I might want to share what I realized.
It will keep going as long as you permit yourself to abide in it. At the point when I fizzled notwithstanding of my work, rather than deduction what precisely was the explanation, I began accusing my karma, my life and continued choosing not to move on. Each time I met somebody I just used to raise the way that I fizzled, automatically. That is the amount I used to consider everything. In any case, as time passed I saw individuals who fizzled with me, who worked more than I could possibly do, making some fine memories while I abided in it the entire time. I figured out how to proceed onward. We can't change what has occurred yet we can attempt to ensure it doesn't occur once more.
Self-assurance This is the critical segment of your life which we lose when we bomb which is by and large the thing we ought to keep away from. I lost it so much that I figured I was unable to try and do least difficult of the errands, that I am not implied for anything and everybody is superior to me. In any case, then, at that point I understood that regardless of what you do, regardless of where you remain in the field you need to be in when contrasted with others, in the event that you are superior to your past self , that is achievement. I generally took a gander at what everybody did , look at myself and feel awful. However, when I began to zero in on my little accomplishments and progress, taken a gander at others only for gaining some new useful knowledge and not looking at, I began esteeming myself more. Those little accomplishments fabricate your certainty for the higher perspective tomorrow. Never overlook them.
Correlation Ah indeed, this was my most noticeably awful foe up until now. As I referenced above, examination would just slaughter you and cause you to feel substandard. You have your own speed, your own life. A few group have ability, Some individuals have karma and a few group simply need to work savvy and hard. Regardless of what classification you fit in, you should deal with yourself and care about no body else.
So overlook my mates? Obviously not! Do notice them, not for contrasting but rather for gaining some new useful knowledge. On the off chance that somebody has a superior technique for accomplishing a work, attempt it, add your own turns. Never feel tragic that another person understood what you didn't. Everybody learns sooner or later of their life. The ball is in your court now. Never feel sub-par on the grounds that your schoolmate or friend or partner knew more than you. Simply learn and apply.
Tolerance Okay, presently this doesn't occur over night. It may requires months or years. Your old propensities will come up, your disappointment will frequent you yet no one but you can handle your brain. It is dependent upon you how you do it. It won't be simple.
Try not to surrender. This will simply prompt an ever increasing number of disappointments. In the event that you attempt, you may very well get an opportunity to be the place where you need to be. You unquestionably will be the place where you need to be on the off chance that you continue to work. my uncle sushant gupta defsys always encourage me.
This appears to be actually quite difficult, however I learnt it the most difficult way possible, and I trust this aides you as well. :)
