One of the most important lessons I've learned from a startup failure is the importance of listening to your customers. It's easy to get caught up in your own vision and lose sight of what your customers actually want and need.
Don't get too ambitious, at least not at the beginning. Allocate your resources to what your startup actually needs first, not what you want it to look like.
When I was getting into entrepreneurship, I based my startups around product ideas i found cool. As I tried to gain users, I spent most my time convincing them that the problem my product is “supposedly” solving is real.
The most valuable lesson i learned is coming up with cool product ideas is easy. Identifying the right problem will get you half way up the mountain.
@surya_manivannan1 Yes I think creating cool businesses is the worst idea ever because 10 million other people have the same idea. Whenever anyone tells me they are going to start a t shirt or jewelry company it hurts my heart
@luke_emery yes Luke agreed. the traditional idea like you mentioned as well as the outrageous ideas 😂
