5 things you’ll never regret as a startup founder: 1. Being honest about where you stand. 2. Getting better at suffering with time, because it’s part of the process. 3. Having a ‘right’ mentors for your biz. 4. Running some early, easy experiments you can quickly learn from so you aren’t in the dark. 5. Staying on the path, no matter what each day brings, as long as you keep believing.
I don't view waiting with time as a negative such as suffering. It takes 9 months for a baby to grow. Some plant seeds take years to grow. It's not the time, it's what you are learning and doing in that time. Patience is key and growth is inevitable.
Agreed, doing “hard” things always pays off.
Early experiments help validate ideas quickly. It's all about testing and iterating!
