5 years ago I started my first business in dropshipping while in high school. I think it was a very valuable learning experience and also helped me get into university when I wrote it on my essay, so I wouldn't change too much what I did even though it wasn't a success. Overall, I would focus more on promoting the product rather than fussing over small details such as font color or when I posted promos on social media. I would also do more bootstrapping rather than spending money on marketing services I didn't understand too well. If you went back 5 years, what would you have done differently Odun?

@richard_gao2 good learnings. Those are typical first time founder experiences. The one thing I would do differently is to grow an audience especially my Twitter following. It’s been a game changer for many recent products/startups to get off the ground
