> I made a lot of rookie mistakes over the years that limited Preceden’s growth including not focusing on a specific niche, not spending enough time marketing, not talking to enough customers, trying to do too much myself, and just in general picking a difficult product and business to build (something I didn’t give any thought to initially).
This really resonates with me. I've been building a new social app, that's taken awhile to build, and I've faced the same challenges along the way.
It'd be real easy to give up on a project before it's really found pmf. To keep going, to believe in it and not give up is encouraging. Great to hear your story!
- matt1 4y agoThanks! I will say though, people should give up sometimes. I gave up on a bunch of the other projects I started that time, and there's an argument that I should have given up on Preceden too and found an easier business to start. On that happy note, I wish you all the best with Sqwok. May growth come easier to your business than it has to Preceden.
