It is not a sprint. It is a marathon with many sprints.

@tanaylakhani came to say the same. It is all about persistence and resilience. And it takes a lot of both

You can build whatever you want, but if no one cares, it's pointless.

The most valuable lesson I've learned as the CEO of Logomakerr.ai, is the necessity of customer-centricity. Our success hinges on understanding startups' and small businesses' needs, challenges, and aspirations. We continuously refine our platform by listening to our users to provide a seamless logo design and branding experience. This lesson reinforces our commitment to empowering businesses through accessible, AI-driven solutions that resonate with our customers' unique identities and goals.

Plan for the worst-case scenario, work to the maximum, and rely only on yourself. Not very positive, but that's the way it is. 😅

Great ask! For me, it's all about embracing those bumps in the road. Startups are like an adventure, and the real treasure is in the experience itself. 😁 BTW. My product - Junior Design Bundle, is officially launched! Your support would mean the world to me! 🙏🥺 Thanks in advance!

No matter how many times you think you have learned everything there is to learn, there is always something new to be learned in a new lauch.

Seen a lot of founders pivot after initial ideas flunked. Flexibility matters.

Keep going and experimenting - the goal is an infinite game. All the time I remind myself of the case in the book "Start with no" by Jim Camp: If you analyse army pilot decisions during a flight almost all of them are incorrect. All the time they could do better. The lesson, which the pilots have learned, is to continue to make decisions. Keep going.

every venture's a story, every lesson a chapter. for me, the loudest lesson? the journey matters more than the destination. building a business isn't linear. embrace the chaos. failure? it's just a plot twist, not the end. listen more, speak less. feedback, even silent, is gold. and lastly, surround yourself with people who fuel your story. because at the end of the day, it's not just what you build, but who you become along the way.

That consistency is critical. As an entrepreneur you will always have extreme highs and extreme lows. If you can stay consistent and keep putting in the work during those low points when you feel like everything is crumbling down then chances are you'll come out the other end.
