    With every investment decision they make, they strongly believe that this is the one or two that have the potential to make that 10x or 100x return. My point is: Being a VC backed Startup is most probably worse than bootstrapping. I witness a lot of entrepreneurs chasing that VC Evaluation (=...

    Stay in the same business or quit to create a new one ?

    INTRO 
    That’s okay, extraordinary results can be achieved by wishy washy actions. Don’t worry, it will happen for you, if you just believe enough! You poor boy! Take a brake, you deserve it! Don’t push yourself that hard! *Irony mode off* Welcome to the forum. I think you‘re really looking for...

    I just realized that VC-funding is bullshit! Why? VCs success is most probably due to luck. At my job a colleague recently showed me a booklet by a VC showing their "success" metrics: Out of all their investments 50 % of startups lose money (= make no return on the VCs investment), 45 % brake...

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    As @sailorssoot wrote, it's not something to discuss or learn in a forum. I suggest you watch the first couple of minutes of this introductory video to React Native to see what it does. I'm currently in the process of doing this mini course.

    Watch Me Build a Startup [12 Month Progress Thread]

    EXECUTION 
    Yesterday's top learnings: Finished the basic course on React JS. Sadly I found out the course I did was 4 years old. Features have moved on so there might be even better React JS features today. Especially using and setting state. So I won't recreate the app I built for now. Started the course...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Deleted all social media. (No, I’m not missing my school friends, I haven’t talked to in 20 years.) Stopped watching / reading news. Got rid of toxic people and in general everyone who drains my energy. (I believe, I do not need more than 2-3 close friends.) Stopped listening to self-help...

    Created my gig at Fiverr, but haven't sold anything

    SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Fiverr is shit! So are all the other freelancing / job platforms! Why would anyone go join a platform and compete against thousands of freelancers who most likely charge a tenth of what anyone sane would consider a decent hourly rate? I highly regret wasting my time on these platforms. Even...

    Product Idea feedback request: App to monetize short video chat meet and greets (celeb/influencer/trades etc)

    IDEA 
    Yes, I’ve personally done the same mistake. There is no shame in doing this mistake, as we probably were led by our passion for a possible solution. I learned to be more focused on user needs and value added to customers. Also, check out book „Talking to Humans“. It‘s a very quick read and helps...

    How do I get from being money-driven to value-driven?

    MINDSET 
    This, my friend, is your lack of imagination. What could you potentially bring to the customer? What is their best possible outcome with your help? What is the monetary value of this best possible outcome? You need to dig deeper into these questions first before going to the market.

    How do I get from being money-driven to value-driven?

    MINDSET 
    I think it's completely fine to be also driven by money. But, the market does not give a rats a$$ about your drive for money. The market only cares about value created. For B2B startups most of the times this is a much easier answer, as every B2B startup / company ultimately either lowers...

    I really enjoy this game and I think it's a shame that there are not many more people playing it. But I guess, it's not an easy game to play, and most people are not looking to put in some work without the sense of instant gratification. Ok, let's continue! Niche: HR / Recruiting Bot for...

    Product Idea feedback request: App to monetize short video chat meet and greets (celeb/influencer/trades etc)

    IDEA 
    Nice! I think I might use something like this. And you could monetize both from the User and the service provider. The former is willing to pay to get a quick answer to a question. The latter is willing to pay, in order to win a bigger contract.
