25 things I wish someone told me 10 years ago

Hello IndieHackers

Several years ago, I spent $10,000, and 9 months of my time to create a software product that I never launched because it quickly became bloated with features and riddled with bugs.

A year later, I spent $47.50 to create and launch a product in 3 hours. It sold the first copy within 10 minutes of launch, and today it is being used by more than 100,000 designers, entrepreneurs and product managers all over the world.

Going from a failed product to a successful business has taught me several lessons that were not so obvious and oftentimes counter-intuitive.

I wrote the top lessons I learned in a short manifesto that I posted here: https://khella.com/think-like-a-designer-act-like-an-entrepreneur/

Would love to hear what you think, if you agree/disagree with some points, and if you had a similar or different experience.

Cheers,
Amir
