I know it’s much easier said than done - but to build a successful startup you need to…

1. Ship product that solves a problem

2. Sell product and/or raise money

3. Use the funds to focus on your startup and hire help

If you’re not able to do the above then ether…

1. The problem you’re solving isn’t painful enough or real

2. Your hypothesis for the solution isn’t right

3. Your implementation of the solution isn’t good enough (this might also be because you’re trying to boil the ocean or your business model isn’t right)

4. Your go-to-marker tactics aren’t good enough

Don’t keep banging your head against the wall. Don’t quit. Figure out what’s going on and fix it.

This might involve some hard introspection, hard choices and a hard pivot (potentially into a new startup all together).
