You are right. The average entrepreneur could be 16 but the average successful will be around 40. I did the same mistake as you, adding as many features as possible so that users can use whatever they like. Now I think of it like adding as many wheels as possible to a car so that users can use whatever wheels they like.
Keep things as simple and single functionality as possible. If you can't explain your startup in one sentence, it's doing too much
- JeanMarcS 8y agoUnfortunately, even some in their forties haven’t learned it yet. I had a client around 2008-2009 (he was around 40 at the time and successfully launched several companies) who wanted a website/web app which basically was doing crowdfunding and videoconferencing (plus shared board and documents) Yeah, I said basically and here we are getting a lot of functionality. I spare you the rest. Needless to say after 2 years and a half of discussion and meetings and « what about we add that functionality ? », money ran dry and the whole thing never launched.
