What advice would you give someone who is starting their own company?

by•
I wish someone had told me how much time it would take. I was so naive when I started my company, thinking that it would be easy to get off the ground and make a name for myself. What I didn't realize until later is that there's so much work involved in building a business and so many things that can go wrong. I'm grateful for my experience now, but if I could go back and tell myself something about starting a company, it would be: "Don't expect things to go smoothly. And if you had to pivot... PIVOT!"

Haha sure Nick 😊
I hear you, mine is that it is ALWAYS MUCH more work than you expect, or can even picture.
I would like to be part of someone's company first and then go for my own
That's a very nice piece of advice, Ayush. I'd go in a bit different direction and suggest being patient. Yet not patiently waiting for things to happen, but patiently going step by step - one day at a time, seizing the moment and learning not only about the process but also about yourself. Your company would be your responsibility, and it's important to assess own resources - health, emotions, motivation, energy, knowledge - wisely and carefully in order to achieve the results you want to achieve without losing any of the core resources, yet multiplying those :) Enjoy the journey!
Have belief in yourself, and surround yourself with people that will challenge your ideas and help you to carry on going!
Have fun. Make sure your employees, investors, partners, and customers see that you have fun. No one wants to join a sad business.
Persistence and Perseverance Jangra
Focus on sales. There is no growth without money.
Stop talking about your vision and mission, your great solution etc. your customers don't care about that. They care about their problems. Make it about them! Listen to and observe them to identify the roots of their problems and help them solve it. Everything is about your customers.
Be persistent, trust the process and surround yourself with people you believe in.
