There's actually one step before "build product" if you want to to play it a bit more safe and not gable on 4 years of your life. That part is "validate idea".

There's actually one step before "build product" if you want to to play it a bit more safe and not gable on 4 years of your life. That part is "validate idea". I found this article https://medium.com/@cliffordoravec/the-epic-guide-to-bootstrapping-a-saas-startup-from-scratch-by-yourself-part-1-4d834e1df8c1 https://medium.com/@cliffordoravec/the-epic-guide-to-bootstr... incredibly helpful, realistic and motivating in the sense that it sets realistic expectations. While i also skipped that step and went directly to build the product, i was lucky that when i got to the step of validating the idea it turned out to be ok. By the way, i am selling shovels over here :) http://graphqlapi.com http://graphqlapi.com
