I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"
For many startups, time and money are always limited and, honestly, never enough. We still need to put out better-than-good products on the market. This may seem impossible, but is there a way to overcome the limits of time and money? Do you think the available time and money define how good a product will be?
My example is Instagram. It was developed as a check-in and social platform, Instagram pivoted to focus on photo-sharing and editing, becoming one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.
