Experience is unbeatable

You have to be prepared to act as a salesperson at some stage. Or have at least one co-founder who will do it.

Discipline and perseverance will be key. There are many up's and down's along the way, so you need to be ready. Btw, what made you embark on this journey? @jerryton_surya1

Marketing and Targeting right audience is essential.

It has to at least break even. If not, it’s a hobby. Either is fine but choosing a distinct path will pave the way. Whichever path you pick, give it all you got!

Stay focused, keep going even when things get hard, and ask for feedback from potential customers and experts in your field. It's important to have a clear vision and plan for the product, but also to be flexible and open to making changes based on feedback and market trends. To make a successful product, you have to work hard, be committed, and be willing to learn from your mistakes. Having a supportive network of mentors, colleagues, and advisors can also be very helpful on the way to making your dream product a reality.

Well, I think it all depends on what you mean by “dream”. If you are the kind of guy who is happy with whatever he has and doesn’t know anything better, then you should never try to build your dream product. Chances are that it may not be perfect. On the other hand, if you are the “never-satisfied” type of guy, then don’t stop at anything. Build a prototype, make it perfect and then build a business around it.

Keep it simple: Do not try to build too many features in your first release. Keep it simple, get the product to market, listen to your users and evolve. Let the business model develop naturally as you get feedback.
