What's your biggest regret? 🙃

For me, it's not starting my own startup earlier.

Not launching sooner, but we are launching Zapmail tomorrow
Hey Mark, What are you going to launch? We are launching our product in a week!
will be following
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! 🚀
To that I'll cheer!
Not fighting for my dreams because I looked at them as something unrealistic to achieve.
yeah, similar to me. I thought it's too difficult until I started doing it.
Not structuring our org and forecasting cash flow sooner
cashflow is important. Can you elaborate on the org part? Like dividing responsibilities and conquering the market?
exactly. we also thought expanding too fast will help us ship the product faster but we’re wrong.
Still doing nothing.
now is a good time to start, don't you think?
agreed 👍👍
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.
you speak like a wise man! Loved the input!
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.
why didn't you? What took you so long?
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.
That's some real talk. what kind of content have you found success in?
Giving up with my project as soon as I got a few problems
did you start a new project?
I try to don't think to my regrets for not become sad. Mind Is tricky.
agree. How do you switch off from that?
I just do thing nothing special the important thing to know is that your mind will trick you so all become normal and i think "oooo silly mind are you trying again?"
