    Hey Pavati, insightful one. Thanks for sharing.

    "If you have the “perfect product” then you’ve launched too late.". Your story well demonstrated the need to be a lean startup. As we grow our business to a larger scale, we forgot about it.

    I started my second business earlier, and I kept constantly reminding myself of being lean. When I was building zookram.com , I launched in two days. It has been 2 months since then, not much result is seen. But it is good I got this feedback much earlier.

    Thanks for your sharing again - hopefully I can share more fruitful results to you over time. :)

    So... have experience in the field you're building in, do the opposite of what the competition is doing, hire the right people, and network like crazy. Got it!

      Lots of blood, sweat, and tears mixed in to afford hiring the right people... but pretty much on point ;)
