There is so much template advice in the industry that it is hurting my eyes. Everyone shares pre-defined path of what to do, how to do... lines between good intent advice and just advice that leads to a course, community, newsletter sign up, book sale etc are very low.

There are some good industry practices that should be taken in consideration - the mom test etc etc, but in general I'm believer that you should take your own path, define your audience and find your channels.

Stop feeling the FOMO and just build a good product, talk honestly to customers, experiment with some channels and see what happens.

Mr Beast rules YT. It doesn't mean if you replicate his steps how he got there you will also. Same with all the startup funders who exited and got famous. I call them the "startup elders".

Take in the advice, listen, but decide and don't blindly replicate.

We started rolling out beta for our startup after three years in stealth-mode - so that goes beyond initial logic of launch yesterday and send an MVP even if it is wireframe bla bla... I say f*ck that Bitconned shit (see the doc if you haven't). Our playbook is to find the right audience within our pace, get some very good users that really want to use the platform. Don't push things, just be patient and build and do right.

Let's see what happens, all these "trust me bros" that share huge MRR numbers doesn't mean that they built good and sustainable businesses...
