And people have different definitions of successful. Some might think a business is not worth bothering with if it's not going to make them rich, I'd consider it successful if it could pay my rent.
- that_guy_iain 6y agoYea, I was reading lean startup and it goes on about how just because the revenue and profits are going up doesn't mean you're doing well. It considered success as growth by other metrics.
- taneq 6y agoExactly. My company’s first product is niche enough that it will never scale to the stratosphere... but my goals for it were explicitly: 1) To provide a steady enough stream of income that I don’t have to go back to a “real job”. 2) To do so while allowing me to spend some time developing my next product (with better scaling characteristics.) It’s doing both of these so I consider it a total win, despite me still not owning a private island.
