Quit my job to start a company. Failed, but learned a lot of important lessons. Got back to a well paid job. Probably most important - got back to a very good shape.
- withinthreshold 12y agoCould you share some of the lessons learned?
- TheAlchemist 12y agoSure, some of the most important ones are below: - ideas are worthless without execution - focus on the product - doing anything else before having at least an mvp is dumb - focus on one thing at a time - never lie to yourself - we usually hugely overestimate what we can achieve in a short period of time, but also hugely underestimate what we can do in a long one - being in good shape greatly improve my mood and performance at work - don't mistake activity for achievement And some more. Of course most of this stuff is obvious and I have always thought I knew them. This was in theory - this year I have 'learned' them the hard way.
