Startups are Hard (opens in new tab)

I really like what you have said about enjoying the journey :)

Our startup is trying to weigh the balance between professional services and developing a product. It's a tricky dance and I've been on both sides of it before. Initially your product isn't great, so you focus heavily on customer service. The trap here is clearly that if you're not making your product more appealing to a wider market, you're going to get stuck forever with a small set of customers. Alternatively if you're not engaging with your initial clients and are developing in a vacuum, your product is going to stink because most likely no one is going to want it.

If they weren't hard everyone would be doing it - but knowing that the risk is worth the reward at the end (both money and the idea of success) definitely makes the struggles and years without sleep worth it.

It is a known fact that starting a small business is hard. But we still need to be convinced that a start up is hard aswell

Startup == Small business
