I failed many times here's why

byβ€’
Hello Product Hunters πŸ‘‹ Today I want to share something personal. In the past, I've tried to build startups many times. This is why I failed: ❌ Money was the most important thing ❌ I was focused on sales, not on delivery ❌ I was always distracted Now I'm trying again to build Zencal.io with the new brand new approach. Let's take a look πŸ‘‡ πŸ’š Client first The most important thing for me now is my client's happiness. Why does that work? Because people like useful people. If you really help someone, they will help you. If you really support someone (without a hidden agenda), they will support you when you need it πŸ’š Delivery is King! If you're good at selling but can't keep your promises, you'll never build strong business relationships. I want to reassure people that they can count on me. I want to be predictable in what I promise. That's why I never promise anything I'm not sure about πŸ’š I'm focused I set myself a goal and I don't start something new until I've finished the previous one. This is something new for me, but it works. I have stopped thinking about the future when I have a clear goal for the present. What do you think? The new approach will give me a good outcome? By the way - I'm during a challenge "1k Twitter followers in 4 weeks". Please leave a follow if you like my content ✌️

Thank you for sharing! πŸ’› I resonate with your second point because it's all about cultivating trust and integrity. Sometimes, things happen and we can't fulfill our initial promise. In those moments, how might we still show up with accountability? 😌 Seems like your clients are VERY lucky and honored to have you. Keep up the good work and please share more of your journey when you get the chance!

@gracehur I think that's the game changer when you really understand or maybe more fitted word will be "when you feel"

Failure teaches you nothing. This is the most important lesson that all people should learn early. Always do the things right way and keep adapting with the atmosphere. You will never be lost.

Honestly love this new approach! Currently working on a startup and honestly the most difficult part before everything is finding the true problem statement (actively listening for problems) vs trying to fit my solution to a hypothetical problem space.

Your website is beautiful and it's an interesting concept you've made. The most important part is the hiring and training of your schedulers. One of the key reasons that X.AI failed was because when the AI made a mistake on a very complex scheduling flow, all trust was gone. If one scheduler has a bad day, they could damage a lot of business SO make sure you focus on them!
