You only need a couple of good ideas to live your dream life.  1⃣ Build that landing page 2⃣ Define your ideal customer 3⃣ Reach out to 100 ideal customers and ask them if they use your product or service Save yourself a lifelong regret!

Why do so many startups fail? - No market 🎯 - No problem-solution fit for a sizable audience - Founders build something cool without validating demand - Solution searching for a problem vs solving real customer pains What else you would add to this list?

Want to know how much you can walk away with after selling your company for $25 million? She built her business for 14 years, then sold for $25M. After taxes, her slice was $9M. That's $642K PER YEAR! Plus a salary the whole time. It's a great breakdown video!

@HarryStebbings Too many startups burn resources chasing vanity metrics instead of running REAL experiments. It's not about how many followers you bought this week; it's about WHAT WORKS. Test a dozen strategies, kill the losers, and then DOUBLE DOWN on the winners.
