Key takeaways from speaking with @1HaKr the founder of Visalist who built a portfolio of micro startups to over 200k in annual revenue

Fail Fast
For each project HaKr works on he sets a goal which needs to be achieved within a time period of four weeks. Depending on the type of start up you have the goal might be different (revenue, customers, followers etc.) but what stays the same is the deadline. If you don't meet that goal in 4 weeks, unfortunately your idea isn't worth pursuing. It's easy to get attached to certain ideas but you need to ruthlessly prioritise ideas that people resonate with.

Build in Public
Twitter is an amazing customer acquisition tool. Sharing learnings on the problems you are facing allows you to get your product in front of people for no cost. Open sourcing your vision is a powerful thing, it invites others to be invested in you and your success. Use this to your advantage.
