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 ✌️

great share, I failed many times too, but each time we get closer to the success.

Your perseverance will get you far! Thanks for sharing, and in the words of Thomas Edison: "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” πŸ€œπŸ€›

I would focus relentlessly on USP and PMF. Unique selling point is up to you, the product market fit can be measured with google analytics. Recurring visits / First visits. Put that on a graph. When the graph goes up. Send the graph to investors. They will invest and fuel the growth more rapidly. Then exit when the operation runs it self and you need a new challenge.

I resonate with 3 as well I've learned that prioritizing and maintaining discipline in your plan is crucial on this journey. I once heard, "startups don't die from a lack of ideas, they die from having too many ideas." Set a goal, measure, execute, and iterate πŸ™‚

Being reliable and delivering on promises, and staying focused on clients happiness are essentials. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful post.

Thanks for sharing your story and telling what you've learned from that. I'm building my first product now, it's very accurate and relevant right now. I think we need to build some hub, or a media, where all public fails will be collected with strong agenda: reasons of failure, ideas, lessons, etc. Im gonna build it someday.
