The lessons I learned:
- I should have broken down workload (by utilizing tools like Jira), instead of working 20 hours a day random tasks (eventually making mistakes).
- I should have prioritized tasks differently from multiple founder startups. As solo founders, we think we can multitask sales/marketing/development (we can't).
- I should have tested my idea with friends and colleagues before spending a year developing my MVP without customer input or interest (eventually pivoted).
- I shouldn’t have used paid acquisition to get my initial users (unless every other channel failed).
- I should have gathered a following for my startup, before launching (it is overwhelming developing a product and having no one interested).
What experiences did you have? (We may I still be making the mistakes you experienced)
