Sometimes I have a problem to have a look at my past milestones or things I have achieved so far. When I think about it, even creating my first product was a success for me. I ve always been a bit shy and afraid to show what I was working on, or I just didn t know how to present it properly, so it took me a really long time.
My first product was an online workout program with a payment gateway, and the monthly price was ridiculously low. But I managed to monetise it and had my first customers. I was probably around 20 at the time.
What was your first product?
What would you do differently to maintain it and make it successful?
I've recently seen more cities that are growing teams and building offices that seem to be growing rapidly? SF seems like it's one of many hubs that have been growing in the recent years. I'm trying to see which cities people are looking into and where people think will be the next startup hub? I've seen mixed opinions on cities like New York and Toronto but would love to hear what other people think as well!
I'll say it bluntly that running a business is not as easy as it is presented on the Internet. You have to come up with a good and useful idea, and even then, you don't win.
You can only see the results after a long time. Not everyone can do it for a long time. To do it, you need to have a strong motive. For some people, it may be a family tradition, for some, money.
