Not structuring our org and forecasting cash flow sooner
Frank Sondors
@shariexyz cashflow is important. Can you elaborate on the org part? Like dividing responsibilities and conquering the market?
Sharie
@profy17 exactly. we also thought expanding too fast will help us ship the product faster but we’re wrong.

Not following my heart when it came to my dreams
Indu Thangamuthu
@profy17 Indeed. People say, "It's not too late to follow your dreams". But that's not the case for all.

Still doing nothing.

@rds1 now is a good time to start, don't you think?

No regrets so far. If something has happened in the past differently, I wouldn't have been in a place where I'm now.

A big regret would be getting stuck on those regrets. Spending too much time in the past won't let you move forward. Your past is a series of lessons to help lead you to a future of success. Lessons, not regrets, are great motivators.

I didn't fight for my dreams because I believed they were impossible to obtain.

I guess not learning coding when I was choosing career path?
Frank Sondors
@soomie you don't need to code to start a startup though, no?
Trevor White
Waiting over a year to go from idea to launch. I just launched today. I could have launched as recently as 60 days ago but didn't.
Frank Sondors
@trevorwhite why didn't you? What took you so long?

hey there bro! ah, the question of 'regrets'. quite a perspective, isn't it? 🤔 i like to think of it this way: regrets are simply lessons dressed in hindsight. yes, we might look back and wish we’d made different decisions. but each step, each detour, every moment spent seemingly ‘in the wrong place’ led us here, to who we are now. your journey to starting your own startup wasn't just about the moment you officially launched. it was about all the experiences, lessons, failures, and triumphs you had along the way. they've shaped you, made you the founder you are today. instead of thinking of 'not starting earlier' as a regret, consider it a part of your unique path. we tend to glorify the idea of being an early starter, but truth is, there's no universally 'right' time to start. your timeline isn't someone else's. your journey is yours alone, and it's uniquely valuable. take this perspective forward. embrace your unique path, with all its twists and turns. use it to fuel your startup’s growth. and remember, the only 'right' time is the time that’s right for you. keep creating. keep growing. your journey is just beginning. cheers to the adventure ahead! 🚀

My biggest regret is not building content sooner. For the 3 months leading up to launch we only relied on paid google ads to build our waitlist. Started content only post launch - just 3 reels generated as many signups as our entire $5000 Google Ads waitlist.
Yu David
@adi_tango That's some real talk. what kind of content have you found success in?
Aaric Evans
I should have give up and started fresh. instead i kept moving ahead which lead me nowhere
Rachel Markle
Not going freelance sooner. Now I work for myself and set my own rules.
