In the beginning, validate two essential things:
1. Do you have the necessary skills?
2. Is the problem truly worth solving?
If you can answer "yes" to both, it’s time to dive into building!
With a product or MVP in hand, it’s time to test it with real customers. Ask yourself:
Can I grow without heavy spending?
Is the market moving quickly?
Is my product well-positioned for success?
The market is showing interest—now it’s time to scale up. Concentrate on refining sales and operations, and put systems in place to handle fast growth. The goal: maintain momentum while scaling smartly.
You have a clear customer base that’s actively buying. Now, it’s time to expand by considering:
1. New markets
2. New regions
3. Alternative distribution channels
Pursue high-impact opportunities that align with your growth goals.
At this point, focus on solidifying your growth. Remember, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." Shift your focus to creating an environment that attracts and keeps top talent.
