As some of you guys know, this is my very first shot of being a founder. I am slowly transitioning out of my creative career to build a start-up to make self-care more fun and rewarding.

Lot’s of you here are great founders, pm’s, builders, etc…

>> Anyone care to share your best advice for a first-timer? 

🙏

🫡 very helpful! 

I’m not technical, but in the process of finding a co-founder, or launching some sort of ads or sign up list to check prod-mkt fit. Thanks, sir!

This really speaks to me -Specially the psychology part. The journey has been teaching me how to channel my excitement and eagerness into consistent productivity

Also learning how to simplify my value proposition and narrow down my target audience to an ideal customer profile

Valuable tips, appreciate you sharing🙏

Company psychology mirrors founder psychology - take care of it. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Articulate the value you product provides clearly (e.g. “Uber let’s you get a car in 4 mins or less”).

Ideal Customer Profile is useful for distribution - define early, and clearly.

Ship before you feel you’re r

These are incredible advice!

I’m working on #1! And already experiencing some version of #2, haha 😅 Nothing but being a founder can really prepare you for  this kind of mental stress! 

Thanks for sharing, Mike 🙏🏼

1) Find a solid co-founder 

2) Prepare yourself mentally for the frequency and amplitude of highs and lows

This is very real! For 16 months I’ve been obsessed with creating solutions for the problem I identified, and everything around me gives me more and more food for thought. 

Learning to get out of my head and talk to people to validate my ideas - and talking to customers has been helping a ton!

Thanks for helping 

Prepare to work 24h. Even when resting your mind will always be busy thinking about it. Don’t settle. Talk to customers.
