Step 1: Sell. Step 2: Sell. Step 3: Sell. Step 4: Build a little bit. Step 5: Sell some more. I made this mistake so fucking badly when I started in business, I'd build something then try to sell it. Don't do that. Get users, ideally paying users ASAP. Or at least get people to give you an email. Something. Anything. Don't build then try to sell, you're bringing a world of hurt upon yourself if you do (and getting locked into design/feature decisions that aren't what people want).
