What helped you become a better founder?

Viewing the product outside of my own lens. Often as founders we get the scaries because the product is so deeply personal to us.

I remember being afraid to do things like increase prices as it might upset our customers, not wanting to add a pop-up sign-up form because it might impact our 'brand' and getting hung up on a feature request, sent on a whim, by our first customer.

Now, of course it's good to care. But I've found by occasionally abstracting myself away from the business for a minute and asking "If someone bought my business today, what would be the first thing they'd do?" then that's when the fun starts :)

Trying things out and failing. My experiences defined me as a founder.

Well, I am not a founder of any business/product, but I would suggest some tips to become a better founder
As different founders will have different experiences and learnings that have helped them become better at their craft. However, we can identify a few key things that can help any founder become more successful.
Firstly, it's important to have a clear vision for your company and to be able to articulate this to others convincingly. Secondly, you need to be able to build and lead a strong team - this means being able to identify the right people for the job, and then motivating and inspiring them to do their best work. Finally, you must be able to make tough decisions, even when they're not popular, and always keep the best

Having patience. It just takes time to learn all finesses of being a founder.

And it's not only about getting good in all aspects of being a founder but also about recognizing what your weak points are.

For myself I now know I'm not a good sales person, which make me target the more low touch sales projects with a lower price point.

Stop comparing myself to others. When you check Twitter, you always see stories of other businesses doing extremely well but you have to keep in mind that those people struggle as well !

Hard to pin to 1 but I would say: constantly getting feedback from as many places as possible.

This has made the biggest difference as I grow Oxogen.io

Realizing that nobody on the internet really gives a damn about your product, which is both a blessing and a curse.

Taking chances.
