@Yourguide1629 8 месяцев назад

Jay, thank you so much for these videos. I am trying to work up the nerve to launch my first business but I've been so overwhelmed with where to start. A step by step video was much needed, and I feel better knowing you're in the process of growing your own start-up. Taking advice from those guru growth coaches never feels trustworthy (or free!).

@jayhoovy 8 месяцев назад

Hannah!!! You've GOT this!!! Just start small and keep it a side hustle! Don't feel the urgency to go huge - why not walk before you run? Set aside a few hours a week to hit small goals and iterate over a year before you make any bigger calls!

@jordanaguirre5813 8 месяцев назад

Wow pausing about half way into the video and already felt like twice the video length worth of information. You kept the intro short and sweet, and then started to deliver love it. But in my personal adventure for my sign spinning gig. I have 2 potential leads both in the same industry and neighboring businesses. Which leads to the question, what if they're competitors? How do I navigate this tightrope with 2 businesses that I could both do business with as my service is event specific and not have the other one want to destroy my anchor points causing me to lose both of them?

@VoltHaul 8 месяцев назад

13:30 Don't get me wrong but if you have PMF, most of the rest is not an issue anymore and you're most likely also beyond raising a seed unless you've either been extremely lucky and instantly had it on your first product version or done **very** extensive research before.
