Ask IH: What helped you succeed in your startup
Hi IH,
What are the things that helped you succeed in your startup.
In case you started more than 1 business please specify for each business what helped you succeed or lack of it made it unsuccessful.
Some of the options could be :
-Industry experience: you had prior experience in the industry in which you started business so you knew the idea works.
-Fixed own’s pain point : you fixed a problem that you were facing as a user.
-Followed the money: Saw someone else making money , you also got into that business & it worked out well.
-Perseverance : initially you experienced failure but you did not give up , kept trying different things/kept pivoting until you found success.
-Pure luck : you just started something & it turned out to be successful.
-Anything else
Well about the last one . Luck , I think is not luck, has a sucessfull idea is about method. How you do the things, is not only the idea. Some people are so smart and find how use their abilities to improve their idea. Some use the previous experience to do the right things in the actual idea. And I think the most people do is learn a lot faster to know the secrets of succesfull. But there is a lot of variables, like different industries or different cultures.
