Hey Everyone, I will be posting a 5000-word biography / essay on my life and what I have learned over the past 6 months developing my startup. I thought I would give you a sneak peak of the Medium post before it's live. Here are the 15 Key Take Away's that I go over throughout the post. The post was written to focus new startup founders on the only things they are suppose to concentrate on in order to ensure they don't fail. If you follow these take away's your chances of success will increase dramatically. If there are any other points you think I left out please leave a comment and I might add them to the post. I will make sure to add the full post once it is live on Monday March 9, 2015 15 Key Take Away's from my Medium post "If You're Crazy Start a Startup."
• Find amazing co-founders that are just as passionate as you.
• Prepare to give up your social life and if you are in a relationship make sure they are extremely supportive of your idea.
• Create daily, weekly, and monthly goals and don't let the due date slip.
• Grow as fast as you humanly can.
• Focus on building an amazing product first before anything else.
• Money doesn't grow on tree’s you gotta work hard for it. (I know this is cheesy, but it’s so true)
• Build things that don't scale.
• Create an amazing user experience and differentiate yourself from others.
• Talk to users, talk to users, talk to users.
• Never stop learning.
• Don’t start a startup until you have a problem you are facing and are passionate enough to dedicate your life to solving that problem.
• Be unique / memorable and seperate your brand from your competitors.
• Write down your core values right away and only hire people that breathe your mission.
• Forget about competitors. If your product is better, than your competitors should be worried about you.
• Eat healthy and exercise regularly. |
